Litterbox revisited

I had decided to keep the litterbox in the basement - the bathroom is kinda small and there just isn't room. I realize now that I may have to reconsider.

I was sitting on the toilet last night, and Joey jumped up into the sink. I had never seen her in the sink before. I thought she was going to curl up into a "cat in the sink" pose, but for once I was too optimistic. She squatted down, and I heard a stream of liquid hitting the sink.

So I guess that's how she feels about having her litterbox in the basement.

hmmm...yes...clearly she doesn't appreciate the new arrangment! Some people put the kitty litter in a closet. I don't, myself -- a corner near our balcony door has to do. Our bathroom is way too small.

I'm not sure that HRH would accept having her throne placed in a closet either :( I will have to brainstorm this one.

Hmmm, yes. I can see it's a dilemma!

Did you get out the black-light to see if it was urine?!

Well I can't imagine what other yellow substance she would be shooting from her crotch!

You'd be surprised.

Of all the things to leave in the bathroom...urine is not that bad. Consider the other substances she might have (may well) left in the sink.

Fucking awesome that Joey is smart enough to piss into a drain. If only she weren't using that amazing intellect to kill you once she finds a new source of food.

Yeah, I was really shocked that she peed there and not just on the floor or something. And grateful, and glad that she didn't poop in there. Maybe next time, if I don't get my butt in gear and figure out a new place for her litterbox.

Really, though, what would you do it she pooped in there? Other than the Soft Scrub™ and Lysol™ combo?

Personally, I'd have a hard time brushing my teeth and washing up in the morning over the place where my cat shits. Even if toxic overly powerful cleaning products were involved. And what happens one morning when you're groggy, brushing your teeth, and suddenly look down at a giant cat turd under your nose? Then you need to clean the mirror, too!

The governess doesn't want to have to go downstairs to pee!

Well she's been fine with it for a few weeks...I really just think she was trying to make a point.

cat diapers, obvious answer.

I don't think she'd be too pleased about that, but we'll give it a try.

i wondered why Joey emailed me asking if i was into water sports, although i just figured it was a snarky joke. now i see her question was sincere.

she has a right to her fetishes like all of us.

I knew that eventually she'd be trying to pick up guys on the internet :(
