For those with cats and dogs

Okay jazzcat I think you are on to something. If I put it in a corner so a rubber bodied cat can slither in the dog probably won't be able to...I think I will try that.

We had a similar problem. Sascha (husky mix) got deathly ill. After many (expensive) tests, the vet found that Sascha has pancreatitis. Sascha had been snacking from the cat box (kitty rocca

) and had a massive infection. We tried a covered cat box, but the kitties were afraid of it. So, we solved it by moving the cat box into the laundry/utility room. Then we cut a hole in the door and installed a cat flap. Kitties go in and out. Sascha stays out. Everyone's happy and Sascha is healthy. Do you have a room/garage that would work for you?

We could do that but hubby might not like cutting a door, that would need to be last resort.

I ahve seen plastic boxes that you can put over thier dishes to keep dogs out.
I bet that would work with thier litter boxes as well.

Gary, the problem is that the dog is just as small as the cat...Its funny because potter chases bubba down the hall and bubba is scared...potters tale is way up and he is having a good old time!

This is what we have too. Hubby put a cat door on the basement door. The kitties eat down there in peace and that is where their *lavatory*
