Remember the new litter I purchased … the one I knew was going to cure Dudley’s habit of flinging it outside the box?
.
.
It didn’t. Granted, the amount flung was lessened, but it still escaped the confines of his toilet receptacle and I was less than pleased. Time to consult the experts.
.

I’m the boss? Clearly they haven’t met Lord Dudley Mountcatten.
.

I started with a big box on day one, but it wasn’t high sided. Then I tried a big box that was high sided but used the old clay litter. So back to the big high sided Hefty tote with the new litter I went.
.
.
Interesting. Putting more litter in a flinger’s box does seem counterintuitive, but I tried it.
.
.
And viola! He has room to move and ample product to cover his deposits. It’s been a week… and there have been no issues. No flinging whatsoever. Needless to say I’m thrilled! Dudley, on the other hand, doesn’t know what the fuss was all about.
.
.
But to be honest, even if he did…. he probably wouldn’t care.

River's world..... 
I think the Lord and Mama Squirell would get along great–have they met yet???

They have not… as his Lordship is still housebound.

One must add litter to decrease litter. There is something sort of Zen-like in that philosophy …

Lord Dudley is a very Zen feline.

He sure is a handsome boy! My boy will poop right on the floor in front of the box if I don’t clean it several times a day. I guess we know who the boss is in my house!

I hate to like that comment… because, eww. But as much trouble as I’ve had finding the right combination of litter and box, Dudley’s deposits have never been outside. For which I’m quite thankful.

They most assuredly do, but this was a battle I was determined to win even if it meant inconveniencing his Lordship.

Well….maybe Sir Dudley is “allowing” you to think your the boss. But really, you both know it’s him. 😼

Aristocats (such as Lord Dudley) don’t poop — they ‘discharge excreta.’ If you give his Lordship his own throne room like he deserves, I betta he will deposetta his excreta in the toiletta, and all you will have to do is (royal) flush it. Prooblem metta, problem solved.

Something about cats and their indifferent demeanour puts me off and I’m wary of being scratched.

That’s what I love about them! The indifference, not the scratching.
