I don't mind scooping our cat boxes now that I use the walnut litter, but I really hated it when we used clay litter.

One of them is super shy but came out to see me and the other is a bratty attention hog. I threw a toy around, sprayed their toy with nip spray and their scratching post. The more friendly cat meowed at me as I left.

I knew that I must have reached critical toxoplasmosis levels when scooping the litter stopped bothering me. It's still kind of annoying and inconvenient, but not yucky any more. Even the poop container I scoop into, which used to make me gag, is just sort of... there. I figure I'm completely under the control of my fuzzy masters now.

I've never had a problem scooping litter, but holy wowzers does my cat lay stink bombs. I swear he does it right before I come to scoop, too

There's a gorgeous trail just down the road from us that leads to this waterfall. The trail goes on for miles, it is like The Perfect Dog Walking Trail. It's awesome up here.  You can see how impressed Shadow is.

Maybe she doesn't, and we just both have awkward timing and every time I look over at her, she looks over at me, and then we make eye contact and she's thinking "What the hell, human? Creepy much!?" and I'm simultaneously thinking "What the hell, cat?"

More likely is that you both gaze lovingly into each others eyes while pooping in perfect unison, a seamless union the likes of which man- and cat-kind has never before known, and may never know again.

I think that if I ever wanted one of my cats to poop immediately, changing the kitty litter is the best way to guarantee that one of them will poop. And it will be the smelliest poop that they can possibly poop. The poop of the day.

I suppose when you gotta go you gotta go. I'm just glad she chose that box instead of the box that still needed cleaning. I let her do her thing and then cleaned the other one because she was weirding me out with that vacant "I'm pooping/peeing" face they get.

Well that only makes sense. I mean, you're playing with her poop, you must like cat poop. It would be rude of her to poop in the other box, the one you weren't playing in at that moment. Doing so would only deprive you of a wonderfully fresh nug.

I feel as though the cat people ITT are trying to change the topic so that we dog owners do not realise they didn't post pictures of their cats leaving tempting treats. You do not fool me, cat people. I am not fooled.

Do you do stuff with Sadie or is she just a pretty kitty that gets to laze? And all this litter box talk makes me hope that, whenever we get Sarah and Gabe back, they still remember their toilet training.

She tried to get the treats twice but I shooed her away and she adopted the "attempt telekinesis" approach. She is rather good about getting the hint when she shouldn't do something. For a cat. Nothing near El Gar and Trophy tricks though.

I taught two of my cats to sit when they were young, and they still do it now when I tell them. I grew up in London, not sure why I sound like a welsh woman http://youtu.be/8uBbRQhy0Cc

I wish she got more excited about food, then maybe I could get her to do things. Even tuna she doesn't care about. Hell, I've given her fresh king salmon and she's all "meh, I guess if it's just gonna lay there I'll nibble some. No promises that I'll finish it, though." The least motivated cat ever. And as for dogs, I'll always have this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbNYuK4lSM4

Smart enough for that telekinesis to work.

It's because it's impossible to teach a cat not to take a thing they want. I had to keep shooing the cat away from the dog's treats, and you can see him hovering in the background of the picture of the dog, just waiting for me to look away so he can eat all the treats. Cats think everything just belongs to them. When I shooed him away, he just looked at me confused like I DON'T UNDERSTAND, THERE ARE TREATS HERE.

Cat is not "leaving" the food. Cat is being a bitch and pretending it does not want the food. It must not be very good food, if you throw it all over the place and do not attempt to keep it from him.

Trust me, the moment after I took that picture, the cat "left" the food. And the room, and the upstairs, and I haven't seen her for a couple hours now.

I posted pics of Yeti leaving it for PISSmas so I was ahead of the trend. I also taught him to "go wait" by his bowl for his dinner instead of being annoying and trying to stick his face in the can as soon as I open it.

Random nonsense time. Last night I went to bed early because I wasn't feeling well, and was woken up two hours later by Jet peeing on my bedroom door, despite being out for twenty minutes before I went to bed and peeing then. I'm fairly sure this was due to the sudden weather change, however I had to actually shove him before he stopped peeing and I could drag him outside. Now today when I went home for lunch he had pooed on the floor, despite having pooed outside first thing this morning. This after I'd had an awful night's sleep, and an awful time fighting traffic and whatever else to get home for lunch, and I didn't even get to properly have lunch. Before I left he was cowering away from me, I assume because I was grumpy and pissed off and he could tell, although I was doing my best not to direct it at him. Damnit, dog, if it wasn't bad enough that you made messes everywhere now you make me feel guilty for being grumpy. At least he came back to his normal self when I threw stuff for him in the garden.
