I Just Cleaned the Cat Poop Box - and I deserve a medal.
He has the whole, great outdoors and he will run from a half mile away to take a dump in his BOX!!!!!

Here he is with the Chihuahua - Spike is only a baby but his poops are a thing of legend.

3. I think my cat, Ernie, might be related to him.
He's striped and orange, looks just like Spike when he's asleep and his poops are out of this world stinky.


I'd post a picture if I knew how.

4. Posting pictures
is a DU secret - You have to learn the secret handshake first.

Or you can open up a photo bucket account and follow directions on how to upload your images to their server and then post from there.

The vet was quite enamored of him as he has 3 orange cats as his own!

15. yes. But now that he's grown up a little, it's sort of an evil grin!
He's pretty mischievous.

10. I keep hearing an ad on XM for a cd/dvd? for potty training your kids.
Edited on Fri Oct-05-07 09:50 PM by redwitch
They play a song that goes 'I'm a super duper pooper, I know when I have to go" to this really happy, snappy tune. It's a hellish, yet amusing earworm I've had for several days. I had just about divested myself of it. Then came this thread. LOL.


edited to add: That is one cute orange boy!

19. Don't some people teach their cats to go in the toilet? I wish I had trained
my two to do that.

25. My cat, Spike....
drinks out of the toilet.

The only cat I've ever seen do this --- I love sneaking up on him and flushing while he's down there.... Wheeee!

29. I have had two cats who did that. The current one who does that
also uses the toilet for urinating only. The prior cat was just obsessive about watching the water go down the hole. I could lure that cat from any hidey hole in the house by flushing.

30. all my cats have always liked to drink from the toilet. Even the ones
that also liked to drink from dripping faucets.

I think the porcelain keeps the water cooler.

32. Apparently cats like fresh, running water. You can actually buy a
water machine for a cat that will keep the water running. My dad bought one for my cat. It terrified her.

22. Anybody who cleans cat poop deserves a medal!
I have three cats that I report to, and trust me, if their boxes aren't clean, I get some pretty awful feedback.

23. I know the feeling.
I have two cats that only want to go in their box. I HATE emptying it.
If I don't do it enough tho, Hobbes will piss on the bathroom rug to show me her displeasure. :eyes:
