YOU’RE DOING CAT LITTER WRONG & Here’s Why!

YOU’RE DOING CAT LITTER WRONG

Litterbox success for both you & your cat depends on walking that fine line between necessity and convenience. In my (sometimes emotional) opinion we have veered far away from the needs of cats when it comes to both elimination convenience and territorial needs and towards our own aesthetic desires. 30 years of caring for cats and solving litterbox issues have told me that - like it or not - compromise is key.

My previous kitty was so smart and fastidious....years ago we were doing a big home remodeling/addition. I moved her litter box from the basement up to the back porch, carried her to it and showed it to her, and never had a problem. When the time came months later to move it back down, I reversed that process. A couple hours later I was reading in my living room and she came to “get” me...and gestured with her head for me to follow her (yes, she knew how to do that!). So, I followed her. She led me to the porch where the litter pan HAD been, circled a couple of time, and mewed, as if to say “now, just where did you put that?” So I gladly led her downstairs, she jumped right in and potties, and never had a bit of trouble!! If you pay attention to them they almost talk!!

Kyo is very polite about his litterbox. When he hears me go get a scooping bag, he runs for the litter box like "wait, wait, I got one more!"

[tigre]

This is completely random. But after we adopted a pomeranian/poodle mix ? puppy . We started to potty train her on wee wee pads. After one week or so, we noticed that our cat had trained our puppy to use the litter box! LOL!

I had a cat who TRAINED HERSELF to use the toilet. Too funny to finally figure out who was using the toilet and not flushing and no toilet paper! Occasionally heard "water running" but no one in the bathroom, until one day catching her in the act! She was such a smart cat!!! Little Miss Muffet!

I'm baffled by that person who'd rather destroy their house with cat pee than put down a simple litter box. No one else would want to look out the window when all they can smell and stare at is the uncleaned cat pee stains. smh...

*Me looking at my cat that runs to the litterbox when they hear me scooping it and is doing their buisness literally next to the scoop and 50 cm from my face:*
Yeah, cats definetely don't need any privacy.

[erishinto]

We had to live in a hotel for a little bit, and had the litter box in the bathroom, and my cat Link would wait for me to go to the bathroom, and go with me. Stare me dead in the eyes and go. I know he would wait because he would look at me and the bathroom, repeatedly. Apparently we were bathroom buddies. He didn’t feel comfortable in the hotel and could tell I didn’t either. Still miss you Link.

My cat’s litter box is just an open pan that sits beside my toilet. I clean it out every time I use the bathroom. It’s a Hallmark moment when we use our toilets together. 😂

[TheRjmayer]

My cat does not need privacy. He meows and leads me to his litter box so I can "guard" him while he goes. He will go without me if I'm not home but if I'm home he wants me there to "protect" him. So I do my job and tell him what a great cat he is for using his box and then go back to what I'm doing. Side note he also insists on guarding me in the bathroom when I'm going to.

"i don't wanna look at a litterbox" then don't get a cat! its same irresponsible thinking of ppl who "dont feel like" walking their dog

[thHouse]

GOD That is an eye opener! "They're doing us a favor."
He's right. And not to mention, "It's not fair."
Such compassion. Those two statements speak volumes to this man's compassion and ability to empathize with our fur fambly.

I had a cat for many years. She was an indoor/outdoor cat. When she got older, during the winter time, I discovered that she chose to use the closet in the spare bedroom for her toilet needs, instead of going out in the cold 🥶. So I got her a litter box, but she couldn’t figure out how to use it, since she had never used one before. I struggled with that for a while, then one day, the neighbor cat came into my house just as I was leaving. I didn’t have time to chase her out, so I just left her in. When I came back later, I found out that she had used the litter box. When my cat saw the “gift” in the litter box, she finally understood what the box was for, and she used it faithfully for the rest of her life. 😂

My aunts cat is so damn intelligent, one time we changed his litter with a new kind and he couldn’t poop in it, so instead of pooping around the house he would meow to my grandma and have her follow him to the litter box to express his problem!My aunt went to buy his usual litter and poor thing held his poop till she changed the litter😂😂We all love him so much, such a smart butt!

[bjlyon]

What a relief to finally see someone who considers the needs of cats over our convenience.

[shadowedaethyr]

I told my doctor that my adopted kitten was surrendered after one night for “kicking litter out of the box” and she told me her kids’ adopted kitten would be declawed and toilet-trained. Ma’am, you don’t want a cat - you want a stuffed animal.

Jackson I feel so validated because my common sense and my understanding of my cat babies has dictated exactly what you share in this post. I've had cats all my life. No scent, no cover, no liners, no auto scoopers. I have 3 adult rescue cats, 4 boxes. Not one accident outside their boxes. It's alot of work keeping boxes clean for 3 cats but my precious kitties are worth it!! Thank you 😇😻😺

[maggiethedruid]

"They may kick a little bit out on th floor..."
My cat: empties the entire litter box on the floor before pottying in the empty box then getting mad because she can't get the litter back in to bury it.

[ALittleBitAboutALotChannel]

My cat looks at me with concerns whenever I scoop out her litter, like she's half insulted half puzzled at me stealing her poopies. As soon as I'm done she makes a point of peeing in it, just to reinstate what's hers. Love her so much

[jonbourgoin]

My cat just woke up from his nap and trotted over to me in the middle of this video, and I’m like hey my buddy, I do what Jackson has always advised since the start, and he headbutts me and is like “I know, I love you”

[ronalaska]

Can’t believe it took me so many years to think of wiping the bottom of the litter box with paper towel damp with olive oil! This makes nothing stick to the bottom and clean up is a snap!
