Mine is indoor / outdoor so most of it ends up somewhere outside but still. I'm going to stop buying cat food since the little fucker eats the dog food. My German Shepard is like WTF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My German Shepard is like WTF Mine eats the dogs food too! i quit buying cat food a while back. She's a pretty good cat, as far as cats go... I guess... I don't like things that shit in my house, she's super tiny (her mother was only 5lb full grown, last vet appointment she was 4.8lb) so I'm worried about putting her outside for the day while I'm gone, damn pigeon could haul her off. We have bears coyotes Hawks eagles etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That nasty stench of cat pee is nauseous so I have a covered litter box and air cleaner in the room so as long as I change it somewhat regularly it isn't bad. Only when I lift the lid I used to have an air ionizer that got rid of any smell but then my house always smelled like I had an indoor pool. It gives off ozone or something and apparently isn't healthy for pets to run all the time. Worked fantastic though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He rigged up some small litter box contraption that sat under the toilet seat for a few weeks then got rid of it. He said it was messy as first because they kicked litter everywhere. Probably worth a try. It worked for a while but they apparently preferred the cat box so, it went back to that. My dad says every now and then he’ll catch one on the shitter dropping a deuce. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmeeAgain Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 We have a kitty door to the garage where the litter boxes are. Don't want those in the house either. Only slight problem is they like to bring friends in the house to play. I'll rather deal with a bird, snake, chipmunk, baby rabbit, or mouse instead of the litter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those weren't a trophy as much as sharing with you. Probably wondered why you didn't dig in right away! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the winter, he'd keep an eye on you to make sure you didn't leave the door to let him back in. If you even started to shut the door, he'd meow at me to let me know he's coming, just wait a second. He'd go in the snow on the deck and when spring came along, there were 50 loads exposed on the deck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let her out with the dogs (then she would have bodyguards) let them back in after they're done. Did you train it to do that? Edit: Maybe she would, she's always standing at the door with the pups when i let them out, just not sure if she's smart enough to come back with them...

MIne goes out with the dog and when the dog ditches him I put the dog back out and tell him " go get will" 5 minutes later he is scratching on the door and has the cat with him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
