Pee-biscuit inquiry

[sirrahbed]

There I was this morning...scooping away and pondering...where else can I ask such a question but here at PT?? How many and what size are your kitty's pee biscuits?? It seems that mine leave about two per day along with one poo each But the difference in size is what has me puzzled. MOST of the biscuits are uniformly golfball sized - but somebody leaves some that are as big as my fist Is this normal?? Maybe somebody just has a big bladder and this is what comes out -maybe from an overnighter? Then again - Eliot is 8 pounds while Dylan is over 15 pounds - could that be it??
OK guys - how many and how big are your kitty's pee-biscuits??

I know - this post is brought to you by the buttbath manual author and world-wide toilet reporter, any association with Sirrahsim is purely accidental

I have no idea how much this depends on the litter you use but here there are at least 2 per cat and day and more the size of a fist although there can be additional golfballs

I was very curious to learn what a pee-biscuit is- some time we will have to revive the PT dictionary thread

Miss Julie drinks a lot of water (a good thing) and she also makes good sized 'kitty cakes', about the size of a lemon. She pees 3 or 4 times a day and poos once, sometimes twice a day (though the second poo is generally small).

She eats only her dry food. She will not eat kitty treats, wet food
or people food.

I've noticed she has a funny little habit- after she uses her litter box and covers her stuff, she will stand up in the box and scratch at the wall next to her box to add that last little cover to it. Her second box is in a small bathroom and she will scratch her paw on the toilet lid the same way. Such a thorough cover upper!

Heehee...the things we talk about on PT!

I agree Barbara. I was thinking it was some sort of new treat for the kitties.

And since our roving PT toilet reporter has asked....Peanut leaves nice neat little golf balls, Tubby leave floods! Which I supposed could be interpreted as fist size, except that they're just all over the place like a flood, not in a nice neat little ball.

OK, this next part is probably more than you wanted to know, but here goes. One time awhile back when I was in one of my apartments and the litterbox was in the bathroom, Tubby and I entered the bathroom at the same time. Since Tubby had no pants to pull unzipper or pull down, he was in the litterbox peeing before I sat down. So I before you know it, I'm done and up and out of the bathroom and Tubby is still peeing! And not little dribbles or anything either. It was as if he had been kept away from his litterbox for hours upon hours upon hours and the flood gates had opened! This was back before scoopable litter, so I guess I had never realized how he peed, and this was quite the eye opener for me.

You areright , I think it depends , on the size , of the Cats! Dianes are small , while MOOSES ARE MOOSE SIZED , like the whopper , it takes Both Hands!

[Vio&Juni]

Ok, we have both sizes and I know how to distribute them

Juni is a princess, her stuff never smells and is of normal size. Pichu's stinks and he floods, half of the litter is wet

ROFLMAO!!!!! Oh my God, where else but on Pet Talk can we discuss our pet's toilet habits??? What's next, talk about our own????

Oh wait a minute, we've done that in that silly BM thread a while back

I politely refrain from posting about Max and Speckles. They get easily embarrassed.

Eddie is the eliminatingest cat ever! His are definitely pee-cakes and not pee-biscuits!

The more refined Edwina does not eliminate with such vigor.

Last Saturday when we needed to take a sample for her vet visit ( ) I knew which poop was hers. Now THAT is knowing your cats!

...hmm.yes...now i think I am beginning to understand ...it is a matter of physics....the fist sized biscuits... or 'cakes' appear so large partially because of the vigor behind the production. They are not neat and tidy like the golfballs. They have a concave top, which makes them more like large pee-bowls, rather than *biscuits*, which are obviously produced by a more evenly produced source of distribution such as the more refined Miss Emily.

YOO HOO! Melissa - are you with us dear?

ROFLMAO!!!! Good Grief!!!! What will be next???!!

Leroy and Sammy pee a flood everytime they go. Pepper Jack exerts a lot of force because his will have a hole all the way down through the middle of his biscuit. The rest of the crew seems to just be fairly average with the girls seeming to have smaller biscuits than the boys. Except for Pete! Pete seems to be a dribbler. He goes in small amounts but often.

As long as we are on the bathroom discussion here is a funny Leroy story.
Our back door is through the utility room which is where the litter boxes are kept. Everyday, right on schedule, Leroy is right in the middle of taking a big poo when we walk in the door from work. We are greeted with that unpleasant aroma every day of the week! After the time change it took him about a week to get right back on track. Now here's my theory on this whole thing. Hubby gets so irritated by this that I have to laugh! We walk in the door with Leroys face peering out of the litter box and that smell just hits you immediately. Hubby immediately pulls his shirt up over his nose and gripes all the way to the other end of the house!! I can just see the HUGE grin on Leroys face everytime this happens!!! I think this is a daily gift for his daddy!!

edit: If we are late he will hold it until the car pulls in the driveway. I think this validates my theory!!

Bassett has HUUUUGE pee biscuits. She always has. Sometimes she covers them, somtimes not. Almost always I can hear it hit the side of the box anf trickle down.. she has projectile pee.

Tilly and Nutmeg have about the same size biscuits. They are anywhere from golfball size to about the width of the palm of my hand.

As for poop, I have no clue whos is whos, unless it's fresh.. Tilly is STIIIINNNKKY!!!!!!

Ok, I'm off the PT dictionary thread to add this one!

Good lord what we won't discuss here.

But the really sad part about it is, we all understand exactly what the others are talking about. Most of it is a "been there done that" sort of thing so we can all relate.
