So Busted !!

Its cute until someone's pup gets very sick. Please be careful about your baby getting into the litter box. Just last week there was a thread about an emergency visit when someone's pup evidently ate some of the littler. It was clogging the pups intestines due to the clumping.

The litter itself is damaging. Especially if it is clumping litter. I have mine in the bathroom with a gate across it when Galen is about. My boys are 13 and they jump right over. And you do not even have to get a tall gate.

Yes - thanks everyone - fortunately she doesn't seem to like the litter itself at all - (and, seems to be less obsessed w/ litter in last few days - can always hope for a miracle).

But good point to remind on the risks of litter (it can be dangerous for kittens, even - depending on their habits).

The gate isn't practical right now with litter box location. We'll figure out something better over time - meanwhile she's closely supervised when in the area - (yes she did get away briefly the time you see in the pic).

Best,
Alec
