Dear Momma Cat,
My humans are very slow to clean my litter box. Sometimes it doesn’t get done for weeks, and I have to hold my breath when I go in there. It stinks! What should I do? How do I train them to keep my litter box clean?
Meows truly,
Fed up and raising a stink
Dear Fed up,
I can really empathize with you. It seems like almost every feline has this complaint about their humans.
We need to meow up for our rights! We’re people too, you know. We deserve to have a clean and sanitary place to go.
How would they like it if we took our business elsewhere, like on their carpets, or in that nice clean dirt that they keep plants in? That should get their attention! Use caution, however, when you get their attention this way. I heard from one feline that her human actually wrote an article on the internet that said she was looking for recipes for cat stew! How barbaric humans are! But I know, we keep them around because they’re cute.
Sincerely meowing,
Momma Cat

Karen, Your title caught my attention. I haven’t really got into cats because the experiences I have from friends and family I visit with cats is that they let they cat urinate everywhere. I am sure it is a lack of owner training and not keeping the litter box clean. Excellent work my friend. Chris

I see that Triond missed categorized your article and put this under shopping instead of pets.

Maybe shopping is a good place for this article? Kitty litter is one of my BIGGEST expenses, shortly after the mortgage and pet food. But…it is a point well taken. No one loves a dirty toilet.

I thinks humans are harder to train than cats /sometimes impossible.

Love the Dear Abby style article for the cat world. Cats rule you know. Just ask mine. Keep that litter box clean for their health and ours. Great writing, Delightfully fun read.

Another interesting article, I had a cat which couldn’t wait for his sister to finish with the litter box so he used a convenant empty icecream container I thought that was very clever.
