I've been lucky that I've been able to control his IBD with diet. He's on prescription food; Royal Canin Green Peas and Duck. He free feeds on dry food and gets 1/4 can in am and 1/4 can in pm of wet food. He's been doing so good on it and has normal poop now. I do agree that is much easier to clean up when he does have an accident! I'm so glad that I've been able to control it with diet instead of medicine.

Last night I stayed downstairs with him watching tv but I kept the door closed that goes upstairs so I wouldn't have to keep running up to check on him. It kept him out of trouble! This morning he mainly stayed downstairs but went into the kitchen to look out the window for awhile before I put him away for the day. Seriously...he has a pretty good set up. He has the run of the whole downstairs: family room, laundry room, and the bathroom (more like his room w/a cat tree by the window, food, water, litter box). The other litter box is in the hall between the family room and the laundry room. He's got blankets and toys plus it's much cooler down there than the rest of the house.
