Hi! Thank you all for the replies and helpful advice! I did move the food where the cat can get it and the dog can't, although I can see that he's trying to figure out how he can get to it, the little stinker! As for the litterbox, I had a brainstorm while reading your replies--put it in the bathtub! Not only will this keep the dog out, but it will ease cleanup of scattered litter from kitty paws! Thanks again you guys!
