One thing I did find out was that I could NOT put the little swinging door on the hooded boxes. I figured they weren't that special ed and they'd figure out that the door went both ways, but NOPE!!! Everytime I went in to clean, those boxes had NOTHING in them!!! I finally just said, oh the heck with the door, and took them off. My cats are just not the brightest crayons in the box.
Loki did great with the hooded box with the little swinging door on it, from day one. However Mocha has yet to figure that one out, so the Door stays off.
