Why, Ebby, why?

Both my boys do this as well. Most mornings I wake up with all four bathroom rugs pilled by the litterbox entrance. Hobbes is the worst about digging IN the litter to China. He just digs and digs. I go in there and say Good Hobbes..Good boy Hobbie and then he gets the idea and leaves. All that rug digging and my bathroom is still like Pebble Beach most days! Sand everywhere! You'd think all that scratching on the rugs would keep wee feetsies litter free!

It's our neurotic kitties
Here the litterbox is not covered as Filou won't accept it (when it was covered, Tigris cornered him in the box and then Filou had to go and look for other places ). Tigris does an archeological dig with litter all over the bathroom floor and Filou... just scratches the floor outside the box so he doesn't get his dainty pawsies dirty

Peppito: "Yes, I do! And if, occasionnaly, there is no roof, I scratch the wall next to the litter"

Jasmine: "No, never! When I have done my stuff, I quicky jump out of the box and I run far away from it. He-he, this way nobody know who has made the smelly biscuit!"

I had Pouncer in the box scratching to China as I watched the video - talk about stereo sound!

Abby usually does the same scene as Ebby (perhaps its the names that end in bby?) and she usually waits til I'm almost asleep to perform the scratching routine. Since the box is near the bed, and the house is completely quiet, I hear every scratch as if she's sitting there on my pillow

Hmmm...are you sure that is her in the video? She looks so sweet and innocent sleeping there on her bed.

I have my litter boxes is my basement and a cat door on the basement door so the kitties can come and go as they please. This works very well for me because then I do not have to see or smell anything until I make my daily trip down to scoop. Also, Casey does not have a way to "snack" on things she finds in the litter boxes like she used to do.

That brings back memories, Chris. Mimi would do the same thing. If there was no "roof" on the box, then she scratched the walls! That made me miss my girl. She has been gone almost 3 years now.

Well Ebby just is making sure to get all the litter off the paws.. How so Cute.. Yes I have one baby that loves to do that too..

Some of our kids dig for China, Bart with big paws acts like a steam shovel. We use storage bins that are about 18 inch tall, I cut one the end out with about 6 inch remaining, this keeps most stuff in the box. There is one in the bed room and they will take turns using it just before going to sleep. So for about 30 minutes all you hear is digging.
Then there is Princess she will go then walk on the top edge of the box. It's funny watching her try to reach the litter without touching it.
