Title: Don't you just love it...
Post by: Danglars on June 27, 2012, 03:58:35 PM
...when your indoor/outdoor cat walks in after an hour outside and uses the litter anyway, usually, and I suppose we can thankful for small favors, number 1? They especially do it when there's new litter to "inaugurate." Naturally.

My cat runs to the litter box as soon as I change it.

I don't know what he expects to find.

...when your golden retriever is too stupid to figure out that the doggy door works in both directions? She'll stand there and bark until someone yells at her or our other dog (who has a lot more brains) trundles in ahead of her.

She's as sweet as the day is long, but she's dumber than a bag of hammers.

So it's not just my cat who likes to do his thing after the litter has been changed?

My wife and I puzzled over our cats behavior for many years.  Then, our veterinarian explained it to us.  You must understand, he said, cats have no forebrain.  That simple bit of information has saved us hours of perplexion over the years.  You may thank me later.

Nope. After I do what I call "poop patrol" in the yard, guess what the first thing the dogs do?

Do do, of course.

A dog looks at his master and thinks, "He feeds me, pets me, and takes care of me...he must be god."

I've always been told that dogs have masters; cats have slaves.

I guess I am lucky cat-wise, I have a cat door built in to my sliding screen door and he does all his business outside.  I use a wooden rod to keep the sliding glass from being opened far enough to admit a person, so we are safe from break ins.  I don't even own a litter box.

That's why they're called Golden Retardeds.

Nope - she ain't retarded. She's just dumb. And very passive. She is definitely not the take-charge type.

I have 3 cats, 3 litter boxes.

The boxes are all in one bathroom. The cats wait in the hall and watch while the boxes get cleaned out.

Soon as the boxes are back in place and whoever did the cleaning walks out....

Each box gets christened.  :thatsright:

Every single cat is like that.  They even had a thread about it at the DUmp. 

I'm sitting here seeeeething with jealousy over Jakestyle.   :rant:  Why is life so unfair?  Doesn't even own a box!   :argh:
