As much as I love our two little cats Bon and Simba complete with barmy character’s, I was about to fall out with big time. When we brought them home they were brilliant at understanding what the litter tray was for. Brilliant, couldn’t ask for more. Before they had all their jabs and had their neutering ops (they are both girls) we kept them in despite their best Houdini tricks to get out the door at every opportunity. So when they were finally allowed to venture out into the big wide world they were a little cautious. Every time I opened the door they would look at me like I was trying to trick them.
Fast forward a few weeks and they are still both cautious of the outside world and loo time is still happening in the dirt tray. Or rather Simba is using the dirt tray, Bon is doing a hover on the edge and miss the dirt tray thing. And then there is the game of who can flick the cat litter the furthest. It should be an Olympic sport and my two cats would up for gold.
So few more weeks go by and the outside world is getting less scary, well according to Simba its rather cool out there. Annoyingly it’s the dirt tray hoverer Bon who is still scared of the outside. And then I had a thought. All this is stressing Bon right out. She is a sensitive little thing as she was the runt of the litter. Plus its stressing me out. I am not going to get Bon happily and willingly outside and let alone going loo outside. So the next best thing was to change the dirt tray for one of those covered dirt trays with a door flap.
OMG why on earth didn’t I get one of these things at the beginning? No more edge hovering and missing and no more dirt being flung half way up the hall. And it has a little carbon filter that stops all the smells.
So now we have the spaceship and both Simba and Bon are happily using it. Simba goes in and out the garden happy as larry and Bon sits at the door stop and watching. Life once more is stress free .
