This is going to be long, so bear with me.
When we had Maggie she always used a covered litter box...that box was huge and I've never been able to find another anywhere near that big.
I bought it at a department store called "Ames" they are out of business now.
We got Gracie and Lizzie two days after Maggie died so we still had her litter box.
Gracie and Lizzie were scared to death of the lid, they would sit there are cry...they wanted to get in, but they were afraid...so I took the lid off.
When they were about 6 months old off to Ames I went and bought a new huge covered litter box.
Gracie had no problem with it, but Lizzie couldn't fit in.
I have to explain that Lizzie has the longest legs of any cat I've ever seen...have you ever seen a newborn colt?...you know how they're legs are 6 times to big for their bodies?...well that's Lizzie.
She had to almost bend in half to use the box so off came the lid.
When Annabelle came to live here I bought her, her own litter box.
Everything was fine...Gracie and Lizzie shared a box, Annabelle had her own and nobody used each others.
Enter Elliott, bought him an uncovered box and he had great fun digging to China and throwing the litter all over the place...half the litter would be out fo the box and on the floor.
I bought a covered box and he's happy with it.
It's a small box, but Elliott has very stubby legs so he fits in just right.
Lately Lizzie has decided that she should use his box too.
Not a problem, but she didn't fit into the big covered box and she REALLY doesn't fit into his small one.
Everytime she uses his box I have to wipe her feet, the back of her legs, her butt and her tail because she has to get hunch over so far that when she pees she's about a millimeter out of the litter and the litter sticks to her.
Does anyone know of a way I can keep her out of his box, or am I just going to have to be on butt partrol forever??
