My last resort...to keep Sully OUT of the cat litter box ... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Passionfruition · 06-29-2005, 05:22 PM

That's right, folks.

We tried barracading him in the kitchen when we're gone, and that worked fine - but when we're home, as much as we try to watch him, he's always found at least one moment to sneak off for some "crunch 'n munch" in our cat's litter box.

It makes me sick to my stomach thinking of my adorable Sully eating kitty poo. BLEHHHHH!!!! But he even comes and tells on himself! He'll come back into whatever room I'm in and cower at my feet. And when I pick him up, I KNOW THAT SMELL!

I tried everything, and even though Sully knows better he still did it.....so I moved my cat box on top of our bookshelf!

Now my cat has to climb all over to get to her box, but she doesn't seem to mind much. I just feel sorry for her (and when she comes out of that, it 'rains' cat litter......but just a little bit, and it's clean, haha.)

But hey, this works and nothing else has! (Please excuse my messy computer room....it's on my weekend to-clean list, trust me.)

I think I embarrassed my cat by taking a pic of her headed toward her bathroom - she's so prim and proper, LOL!

If there's ANY better idea out there, I'm oh-so-open for suggestions!

Ha! TOO LATE! Sully knows how to jump from the couch to the coffee table and he DRINKS OUT OF THE FISH BOWL! I think his spit is killing our fish, but these last 2 have lived about 4 months, so who knows.

Mr. Sully here is a character, let-me-tell-ya! LOL!

That explains it...lol..we can't find 2 of our Oscars (fish)..lol..we just assumed they had been eaten..BY OTHER FISH..LOL

When we had indoor cats we too had to place our kitty box up way high. Our Annabelle just never could get over her kitty poop addiction. Totally grossed me out!

And yes, it's amazing how the litter can rain down and fly EVERYWHERE.

Oh Sully, he's quite the character, LOL.

I have oscar fish. 4 of them. they are almost 10 years old. and they are HUGE. the smallest one is like 21 inches long. I have a 100 gallon tank for them so they have plenty of room.

Sully's just a smarty. That's so funny!

rrosenberry · 06-30-2005, 05:18 AM

Is SUlly a jumper?? Bailey isnt, so I block off my computer room with a baby gate,,, so the cat can RELAX and the dog doesn't make the litterbox a smorgasboard!

SarahG816 · 06-30-2005, 05:26 AM

Your pictures are TOO funny!! Sully always cracks me up!

hockeymom · 06-30-2005, 05:31 AM

We have been having sort of the same problem, but not quite the same,Scooter keeps marking the litter box. We would go in the utility room and pee would be all around the box.

My husband put some shelves in the utility room and we put the litter box on the top one. So far everything is working out pretty good.

I keep Cooper outta of the litter box by putting it on top of the dryer
