With the Covered Litterbox COVER...

While you're *cleaning* the BOX!!!



Boots, da Kat, "inherited" a standard height (~2" deep) litter pan...

And he became quite *adept* at excavating HUGE quantities of
litter "over the side" and ALL over the bathroom!

Enter: the *NEW* & *Improved* SUPER-DEEP (10-12") HIGH-side Box!
(WITH *Lid*)

Big enough for a small Mountain Lion...

To "break him in" - the Cover was left OFF for a few days...
He seemed to enjoy the *hop* required to jump over
entrance doorway; and could *dig* & *shovel* to his heart's content.
KAT & Dad were *happie*!

Week 2...
The Cover went ON...

said da Kat!! WHUT'Z DIS!!??

I *helped* him in IN...
He spent 15 minutes *exploring* his new Cave!
All seemed well... He *USED* it!

But it was a pain in MY butt to remove the cover to "scoop" ...
The cover stayed in service for about 10 days until the
next scheduled "Cleaning Day" arrived...

Without much thought;
I removed the Cover and set it on the floor,
and disappeared to the basement to dump & wash the BOX part...

I returned, bearing the washed BOX with fresh litter, to find ~

Da Kat... *INSIDE* the COVER (on the floor) ~
DIGGING, for all he was worth, on the lenolium floor...

Out he came;
delivered a Head-Bumpie and a Leg Rub ;
and wandered out of the bathroom...

I set the BOX down in its customary place,
and then picked up the COVER...

To discover that ~
da KAT had left a LARGE *DEPOSIT* - UNDER the Cover -
ON the Floor!!

Memo to Self:
Take the Cover **WITH** the Box next time!!

"Self" forgot that lesson 10 days later...
And we had a Repeat of the pooh on the floor...

It was Mutually Decided that the COVER...
Was not really necessary...
It sits, unused, in the basement.
