| 1710.1 | His intentions seem noble enough... | JAWS::COTE | Are you with me, Dr. Wu? | Mon Aug 29 1988 17:17 | 15 |
| Sounds like Smokey might be getting a little overambitious when
trying to cover up and knocking stuff right over the sides.
You can buy a 2 piece litter box that has a snap-on top thats
very hard to get litter et al past....

| Most of the kittens we have taken in over the years had a habit
of playing with the solid waste. It was (and again now) not uncommon
to come home and find "something" floating in the dogs' water dish!
Pretty gross, but eventually they grew out of it. Hopefully our
newest addition will get over it REAL soon...

| 1710.3 | Privacy? | SHRFAC::CARIBO | | Mon Aug 29 1988 18:55 | 15 |
| Maybe he needs more privacy. A friend of mine has a litter box that
looks like a small dog house there is an entrance at one end and
the cats go in and you can't see them until they come back out.
This in turn does two things, keeps ALL the litter in the box and
they seem to feel like they have more privacy.
He could also be in a rush to cover like Edd suggested and shoots
the little lumps over the side. My older cats do this every so often
I think that they don't want to miss anything, so they are in a
rush to get everything covered up and get out of there.
Good Luck,
Lorna

| 1710.4 | Try the Booda Box! | SALEM::DEFRANCO | | Mon Aug 29 1988 19:14 | 11 |
| Helen,
The box in .3 might be what's called a Booda box. I have one and
it's great. The cats must actuall crawl under the extended lid
and over into the box. It gives them good privacy and keeps everything
in the box where it belongs. this box also has a charcoal filter
on the top of the lid as to eliminate odors. It really works!

Hi,
Where can I find one of these booda boxes. The most
recent addition to the family seems to be able to
kick his litter in to the next room.

| Andy, I got my booda box at Dodge Grain, located in Salem, NH.
I don't know where you live but any good pet shop or grain store
should carry them.

| Andy:
A lot of pet stores & grain mills now carry the Booda Box. Also,
you can order directly. (I buy their cat-pan liners & filters in
bulk.)
Their address is:
BOODA PRODUCTS
439 South Detroit Street
Los Angeles CA 90036
My Booda Box is one of the best investments I ever made. Good luck.

| I have a covered litter box but the cats still manage to get litter all
over the place. It seems the litter sticks between their toes and when
they leave the box, they leave a trail of litter. Is there any special
box that will take care of this problem? The only thought so far is to
put one of those fake grass welcome mats in front if it which would
kinda rub out the litter as they walk over it, but if someone has
already dealt with this problem...

| 1710.10 | Dustpan and Broom Expert | POOL::MURPHY | Is it Friday yet? | Fri Sep 02 1988 17:54 | 6 |
| I keep my dustpan and broom handy. It seems I'm always sweeping
up after each one uses a box. The only one that doesn't seem to
carry as much out on her feet is my "featherfooted" girl cat, Holly.
The boys always manage to take sand with them. Must have something
to do with feathering on feet?

| nope; Pip has huge tuffs of fur between her toes, but she still
manages to track litter all over the house, although I must say
that the boys seem to track more than the girls. I guess that maybe
the girls are just neater.

| re .9
The point was to stop it before it got too far from the litter box, or
better yet, stop it from leaving the little box. I would like to spend
my life in things other than following the cats around with a dust
buster. :-)
Maybe I'll try the bathroom vanity idea someone else had in this file
with a fake grass mat in the entry/exit drawer...

| 1710.13 | maybe a high pile scatter rug could help | VAXWRK::SKALTSIS | Deb | Tue Sep 06 1988 17:37 | 6 |
| Our boxes anre in the bathrooms, and one thing that I've noticed
is that since I put high pile scatter rugs down at the box's entrance
there is less litter tracked outside into the rest of the house
(Litter on dark hardwood floors is *very* noticible).
