Lola (now about 14 weeks...) is playing with her food and (clean) litter. This is so incredibly frustrating for me. We have tried changing the bowl the food is in, but cannot really change the box (or even try to) because one box alone costs $20 as we need a sifting litter box.
She will take her food and litter and dump it on the floor, bit by bit. I would be willing to try another bowl if we haven't already tried 3 different ones now. We try to have the food completely seperate from the water -- not in a "double diner" for instance. One because Lola likes to play with her food and a lot of it will land in water and two because like this it is easier to clean the water bowl. The set up we have tried are 2 different bowls for the food, putting the food on a plate, and doing a double diner. We immediately ruled out the double diner for reasons stated above. So now we use both sides of it for water.
How do I get her to stop this? It's so frustrating. I have issues with cleanliness (I even clean the litter scoop after each use
) and this very time consuming -- cleaning the litter and food up bit by bit.
Our other kitten (Madeline) doesn't do this.
Lola is in excellent health and saw the vet less than a week ago. Plays often, eats fine, everything is in check. Madeline and Lola are best buddies and there haven't been an environment change to speak of.
