Diggin' For Gold

What is it about fresh litter that makes all cats go crazy? Is it the animal equivalent of that new car smell, or clean sheets fresh out of the dryer and still warm? Every time I scoop poop they watch me the whole time, they wait until they can come desecrate it with that first pee. I swear they have a special reserve bladder for just this occasion. It doesn't matter how long it's been since they've eaten or drank, or any previous business they've attended to only minutes before you clean the litter box. Both of mine go racing for it and usually jump in it together. This is the only time they get into the litter box together.

In fact, Alowicious has started trying to resolve this problem by sticking the top half of her body out of the hole (we use a covered box) so Neko can't get past her to get in there until she's done. Apparently it's such a huge deal to be the first to go in fresh litter that now that Alowicious is blocking, Neko has just started hopping on in there and trying to get in before I put the lid back on. I'm sure most people don't like cleaning out the shitbox, but lately I don't mind it because I'm sure this little competition is just getting started and I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

And while we are on the subject of the litter box...I have been thinking that cat turds must be involved in taking over the world somehow. They may even hold secrets to the meaning of life or world peace, or cure cancer. Think about it- any time your cat goes to the bathroom it really doesn't want you to see what's going on in there. Sure, often times you can glimpse the pee freely, but catching your cat pooping is like finding that garden gnome that is real. This is why they usually drop deuces while you are busy and they know it ; especially when you are just sitting down to dinner, it isn't just to stink up the whole house while you're eating like you think. Those noxious gasses from them shitting that xmas tree and decorating it are covering up something important so that you never get near it. Have you ever noticed how cats watch you get rid of their poo? They don't want it around, but you'd better be careful what you do with it!

This would also explain why dogs loooovvvveee the gravel covered tootsie rolls that come out of the litterbox. They treat it like the rarest chocolate truffle, even when they know you're gonna yell at them for eating it, they just cannot help themselves.

Also, this would explain why EVERYTHING you do in the bathroom must be supervised by a cat at all times. They need to make sure you don't have the world's oldest secrets or binary code in your BM's. This is why you get the death stare from most, they perch on the edge of the bathtub, ready to kill you if you poop the wrong thing. They will bust in the door nearly tripping you as you go in so that you won't shut it in their face. If you do happen to get lucky enough to shut the door in their face, they will never give up the mission & may jab their paws underneath the door or lie in wait just outside it. Some may even sing to you to make your poop more normal and something they won't have to fight before it's flushed. Everyone knows there's magic powers in a cat's song!


Observe your cats, tell me I'm wrong. Didn't think so! Well, I must go now...please don't dig around in cat shit just to see what they're hiding! This was merely my crazy mind and its musings! Smell ya later!
