Typically, when Terra’s litter box goes without being changed for too long, she will pee on my roommate’s clothes (hich he kerps in a pile in the laundry room). I recently got a litter-robot for Terra as I am bad about keeping a regular litter box. I am also legally blind and can’t always see when the indicator to change the bag lights up (the wifi functionality got b0rked; long story, don’t ask).
I had been doing good about it by using a weekly alarm on my phone that I use due to a brain infection that affected my short term memory (see legal blindness), but the alarm somehow got reset last week, so it never went off and Terra peed on my roommates clothes. He now wants her locked in my room for an unspecified amount of time to “relearn” to use the litter box.
Teraa hates not bring able to follow me around the house like she usually does. I personally don’t think my roomie is being rational with his insistence that Terra relearn to use the litter box as he has a habit of talking out his backside and making up “facts,” but at the same time I can understand him being pissed over Terra peeing on his clothes.
Is my roommate right in thinking she needs to relearn to use the litter box? I changed it right after the incident (yesterday), and it had only happened once in the last few months. I want to do right by my cat, but I can also understand my roommate wanting to keep his clothes clean.
Who has the right of it? Do you think Terra should be forced to reacclimate to a litter box, or is this an exercise in meaninglessness?
