I am extemely grossed out by Harvey right now. I just changed the litter in the cat boxes. In spite of having covered boxes, he still manages to make a mess outside of the litter box. He gets in the box, hikes his hind end up high like a tom marking his territory, and lets loose with enough that it leaks out through the crack between the top and bottom. I'm really angry right now that I waste all that money on covered litterboxes, and it does no. Damn. Good. I'm sick of having to clean the floor under the litterbox, I'm sick of dealing with it. Sick enough to still be nauseated, 10 minutes after doing the dirty deed. Gawd, I can still smell it. Anybody want a slightly used 9 year old meezer?
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

That's some impressive urinary force!
And, ew. Cat piss is the worst. I'd rather deal with the poop anyday.
Maybe you can rent him out as a weapon.

grrr!! sometimes the tivo doesnt talk to the new cable box and the channel doesn't switch. It's bad enough when I'm gone, but I was here tonight and didn't notice. Grrr.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Windsparrow, we have this one and it really eliminated the accidents for us.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Standing up and saying "We both want the best for me, let's start from there" may turn out differently for you PC, but I think when you're ready to say it, do it with sincerity, conviction, empathy, and love.
Thanks, ita.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
It's still Matilda's birthday where Matilda is, right? So Felicitations, Little One, on the First Anniversary of Your Natal Day. The people who love you dearly made sure your day was full of fun and happy things to do, and presents, and maybe even cake! I'd like to wish you a year ahead of discovery and excitement, of achievement and stunning leaps in learning. And all the joy your heart can hold.

javachick, after the attempts to use one like Cash recommended and finding it not tall enough to really stop the problem, I'm afraid the one you linked to is not tall enough either. Not to mention the corner where one of the boxes has to be sometimes freezes in winter, causing the plastic of the cat to get brittle and crack, so it would make me feel like I had doubly wasted the money $25 on a broken litter box that didn't do me any better than a $12 one. Everyone is trying to help, but Harvey manages to trump all that.

beth, if you built a sort of ramp, or steps, up to the opening, I'll bet your arthritic cat could use that box. We've had to cobble ladders and things for our three-leggity guy to get up and down from windows. I'm sure you and your clever spouse could figure something out.
That's a fabu litterbox, Cash, but it still has a seam where the top and bottom meet, and from Andi's description, I think Harvey's aim is higher than that.
I know there was more. I forget.
