Litter box habits


I've just realized lately that Leia only does one function at a time, and wonder if that's common. I sort of keep an eye on her after her bout of cystitis. Well, last week she went to the box and wee'd after breakfast as she often does. So, I was startled when she returned to it about 10 minutes later (of course, thinking, OMG she's having trouble weeing, cystitis!), but this time it was to poo. Looking back to my other cats it does seem that they don't do both at one time, although it's not normally the sort of thing you notice pasrticularly. So, a slightly indelicate question, perhaps, but what to your cats do?

Re: Litter box habits

Re: Litter box habits


You know what is really weird, I have 2 litter trays under the stairs and others elsewhere but these are the only 2 that are together, anyway, when I clean them up they always have poos in one and wees in the other, 6 cats using them and they all do the same thing!? But the other 2 trays in the house that are placed seperately have a mixture in each? Very odd!

Re: Litter box habits


Now you mention it - as far as I can remember all my cats have only done one thing at a time.

How strange!

Well. two responses of "never both at the same time" isn't exactly a trend, but it does make you wonder why...???

Re: Litter box habits


I am fairly sure that Kizzy does hers separately too!

Re: Litter box habits


I will keep an eye now, can't say I have taken that much notice before, I only know when they go for a poo they really dig for Australia in there.
