lol, kitties are so silly! How about another litter box ( or even a shallow cardboard box ) with shredded newspaper for kitty to lay in. That way, if he decides to do the deed in either box, he's covered. I have found when cats aren't feeling well they will do weird things like lay in litter boxes. This is the orange/yellow cat who sleeps on Big C's car, right? PS - did MommaGAL buy him a nice cozy little bed?

LOL Halfunit - actually, I know better than that. PussPuss has Colossus wrapped around his dewar's claw, though. Colossus bought him a little fleece-lined kitty bed immediately when he started hanging around, and of course PussPuss ignores it completely. I put a cardboard box under a table with newspaper in it, and it's his favorite hangout. Right now, though, he's really really whizzed off at me for ruining his day and his good time, stuffing him in a box to go get poked and needled, so he's curled up in a corner pouting. Of course I'm the bad mommy, and good daddy has been responsible for giving him turkey and scratches today, so good daddy gets all the purrs and I get all the pouts. LOL. Thanks for everyone's suggestions, I'll keep you posted on progress.

ROTF!!!! So PussPuss has this girlfriend, Dilger (they're both fixed, by the way). Dilger has a home, but she always sneaks over here for treats with PussPuss in the late afternoon. I figure it will be good for him to have some company, so I let her in and she gives him some good cuddling and nuzzling (which included her sitting on his face, Colossus loved that part). ANYWAY - we show her the litter box and she gets in it right away. Not to be outdone, PussPuss gets in right behind her and whizzes in the litterbox. PROBLEM SOLVED!!! LOL!! Of course, we went crazy praising him, but now we need to hang around here for another hour or so to give him his antibiotic and footbath. We were going to do that earlier, but since he whizzed we don't want him to connect the insult to person with the potty training. Sigh. I could never raise a child.

LOL! Fantastic GAL. I loved the description of PussPuss going into the litter box and promptly taking a nap. Cats are the best!

You could also keep him in a small room with a waterproof floor, like tiled bathroom, with the litterbox until you are sure he knows all about it. And a water bowl, of course. And yeah, if you find any stray pieces outside the box, you put them in the box. But sounds like he might have the picture already. Yay Puss-Puss.

my poor kitten(10 months old) seems to be affected by the unusual warm few days we're having==(75 today) she is mainly just sleeping all day--even scared me a little cause she didnt even come downstairs to eat or drink water that i brought it up to her--she has since ventured down to drink and eat so i guess she's ok..can't imagine the summer heat --

Kep, perhaps you think that's funny, but to me it's just hurtful. Back to cat worship.

Nancy, how is your kitty? That sounds like rather unusual behavior. Hope it was just a passing thing.

Nancy, tell us about your kitten! I sure hope she's all better. Cats sure do sleep alot, though. Any pictures? Pamy, hope Casper heals up really well. Was it a restructuring so he can pass urinary stones or something? We had that done for a male kitty, many years ago and it sure did the trick for him.

Pamy and Seamonkey, my cat K.C. had the surgery that took him from male to female many years ago because of kidney stones. He must have been around 4 when he had the surgery. He'll be 17 years old in July. It worked wonderfully! Pamy, I hope Casper is recovering comfortably.

Yeah, we had the surgery on our cat in 1969.. the cat lived til he was 19. At that time they didn't have a zillion different prescription formulas of cat food, but they had us put him on dog food, only wet food and the lowest in ash. My black cat could care less about the surgery but he was really embarrassed to be so shaved

So Colossus and I go to PetSmart to get a scratching post for PussPuss. Just so happened it was "Adopt a Pet" day for the local animal shelter. We didn't get the scratching post because they cost more than most used vehicles. However, we did come home with a companion for PussPuss - this little boy kitty climbed into Colossus' arms and it was love at first sight. Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce - Maximus Pussimus (his friends call him Max):
LOL - doesn't he look stately? He's around 3 or 4 months old, a buff and cream tabby. He has an industrial strength purr and a meow that scales an octave every time he opens his mouth. He gets to meet his big brother today. Wish us luck!!
