Thanks so much, Nikki!
Yes, I can relate, I do so much silly things, my hubby doesn't even question it and just ignores it all.
I actually tried getting that litter box but found it too small, with 3 furballs I needed a bigger space. I was contemplating on buying two, cutting it up and combine it together, but that was just too much work and probably still too small. You know, they need the space because they like to walk around when doing a #2.
So what I did was since I have a closet inside my bathroom (weird I know, but helpful!) I took down the three bottom shelf and that is where they do their business. I placed a shower curtain for the 1st layer (and double sided tapes on the side & back walls so no leakage from the sides) then washable pad and on top is the disposable pad.
I'm trying to get them used to the washable pads so hopefully they'll get used to it but they still like to use the disposable even though the washable pad is there too.

Now I'm going to use the liter bottle trick!! Thanks!!
Also, the cute thing about having their potty area in the bathroom is them running to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I've witness this so many times and I get a kick out of it all the time.
