That box has been the #1 box for a while. There is another box no more than 20 feet from the first box, and another box a few feet further from the second box. It used to be in the livingroom next to the fireplace and I moved it over a month ago into the front room. No problems related to the move in the least, in fact I think they like it more in the new location (I know I do). It is more secluded in there.

I DO think there might be some truth to the idea of another cat. The front room is actually a small enclosed porch. I've seen a few strays try to make their home under the porch over the years, and I TRY to get their trust but they run off never to be seen again. Anyway, Flutter will sit for HOURS and stare at the door, once last week I actually quickly opened the door ot see what might be on the other side.... perhaps we have a kitty visitng us?

They put the Littermaid automatic litterbox on clearance at work today -- $189 down to $54 plus my discount... I seriously contemplated it.
