Dallas is a real sweetie! Your first kitty! Oh my, you are in for such delights. I cannot imagine life without cats around. They make the place HOME!

For the litter box - I also have a litter slinger - she finishes digging outside the box like Dallas - I have not tried it yet, but read about getting a rubbermaid container with high sides. Might give it a try! Tho- may take all the fun out of covering up. My Emily is so fastidious above covering and i think that is why she finishes outside - because then she also flicks her paws! Can't have litter on those girlish paws!!
