Litter box

24 comments

Cat has a point. When I had cats, they ALWAYS got weirded out everytime I cleaned their box. Karmalee especially would run back into her litter box, dig around in the fresh litter, then look at me like "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE??? WHERE'S MY TREASURE???"

She wouldn't poop. Just dig around trying to find the missing poop. Then she'd look at me like a weirdo. She was very judgemental everytime I cleaned her box.

Speed on the other hand would look at me in confusion. Like ".......but why? Why do you collect the poop? What am I not getting here? Help me understand...."

- I hope you take this the right way when I say that you sound like you have lost your mind. Please, for our sakes, don't ever find it. 😜

- One of mine legitimately gets angry when I scoop his poop, and even more upset when I do a full litter change. I have to wait until he's napping so that I can get at least part way through the process before he comes to yell at me. If I'm not fast enough, he'll even nip at my feet and/or (soft paw) swat at me.

  Mine will yell at me if hers isn't clean. Though my cat will yell at me if the house is full of air, so who can even tell?

  Sounds like you guys need a litter robot. It disappears, so the cats don't have time to understand what happened to it.

- It's like how my one cat always comes into the bathroom and looks at me like I'm crazy whenever I'm taking a bath. "Why would you do that to yourself?"

Source, please?

- It is insane to me how allergic to giving credit and sources some corners of Lemmy can be 🤦🏻‍♂️

  It's often a matter of people re-sharing content from other platforms, where the source had already been stripped...

  holy shit for a moment I thought they meant the source on cats actually thinking this when their caregiver cleans up their poo

I’ve had the same conversation with my dog when I pick up her poop after telling her to leave the Canadian goose poop on the ground.

My cat used to wait for me to clean the litter box. Sometimes she'd look in it and walk away if it had too many clumps, but then use it immediately after I clean it.

"I'm gonna make Chevapchichi out of it."

The leading theory is that scooping the litter box throws the smell of feces into the air, which might attract predators (which is the reason they bury their poop, to hide the smell)

Since they think you're doing something dangerous, they want to keep watch for predators
