Would she use a 'step' made out of a 2x4 or something? Lay flat in front of box - no assembly required. :)
Or cut down a cardboard box to the desired height, line with newspaper or kitty box liner, and add litter.

A step situation might work. Cutting down a cardboard box is a quick fix because after a few uses with 5 cats it will be a pile of wet cardboard. Not to sanitary :(Quote:

Hope the step works...or even a ramp? (Cut down a worn out wedgie cat scratching post!)
She wanted down from our bed this morning at 4:30 a.m.
I feed the rest of the gang. Thumper was laying in the kitchen after getting a drink. Everything under control, I thought. Hubby woke me up at 6:30 a.m. because Thumper had an poop accident outside of the bathroom. Had to clean carpet and paw prints in the bathroom. :(
I put the hood back on that particular litter box. I'm not so sure it would of made a difference (on or off) in this situation. :eek:
Not being to wide awake at that hour, I'm going to have to be more aware when she wants down like that to take her to a litter box. It's hard to think at that hour of morning LOL
P.S.
We had a carrier that opened from the top (never like it). So I took it apart and using the base for a litter box in the computer room. IF it's a success, I will go get another cheap carrier and use the base as a litter box.
I got new boxes tonight at Walmart.
They are under-the-bed storage (27 inches long). Lot's of room for everyone. Eleanor & Cindy approve so far :)
It's going to be an on going "guess" when Thumper has to potty. We left for dinner and came back 1/2 hr later (picking up pizza) and she had a potty accident in the computer room. Thank goodness for my carpet cleaner machine.
Our theory is antibotic and new a/d food is causing the runs. She just cant make it to a litter box fast enough.
It's been only the last week she hasnt been using the litter box without my help. Is this a trend, we dont know. The outside the box started last week after finding out she needed the antibotics.
Wish our luck :)
Becky - would Thumper lap some plain yogurt? If she would take some between ab doses, it would help put the good flora back in her system.
I don't know what she is like to pill - but acidophilus caps would work too...just not sure of the dose.
The runs aren't fun for anybody! I hope the yogurt or something will work.
She does get some yogart with her hedge apple (mix the two together).Quote:

Before tumor you could pill her, not now since the one side of her face/jaw is effected.
Yes, the dog litterboxes are GREAT; around here, many of the monsters, ablebodied or not, like them. http://handicappedpets.com/wiki/inde...andicapped_pet
