Have another question!!!!! Why would the vet stress the Cocoa's
litter box be emptied each and EVERY day? All new litter! Does
it have something to do with the kidney malfunction and of what
value would totally clean litter have?
Pretty soon I'll be so-o-o-o-o smart I can answer *your* questions.

I had to do that once when Honey had 'poopie' problems. Anything
that comes out of the body had germs in it. The kidneys are supposed
to clean up blood and dump the 'waste products' into the urine.
When the kidneys are stressed or infected, they dump lots more bacteria
and other swell stuff into the urine. Cleaning the box every 20
minutes (that's what it feels like!!) gets rid of the bacteria before
it has a chance to grow and re-infect the cat.
To make it a bit eaier on you, perhaps you should try something
like the Tidy Cat box liners. Everything gets tossed and it minimize
the amount of scrubbing and disinfecting you've got to do. Also,
buy the cheapest litter you can find. The high-price stuff has
deodorants and the like it in that you won't need since it will
get changed so often.
Isn't it amazing the new skills and knowledge we get from our
kitties???

Hey, learn something new every day! You'll also know real fast
if he stops using the box, in which case you'd call the vet
immediately. Good luck.

Don't bother with the tidy box cat linerrs. Buy generic trash bags
instead. It's alot cheaper, expecially if you are cchanging them
every day.
