Dudes, here is an update on my peeing.
Mom put nine litter boxes in the house to test out different kinds of litter and to see where I like to pee. Every night, she counts our pee clumps. For reals. Then she enters the number into a spreadsheet.
All of our boxes are numbered. Boxes 1-4 are in a space that is designed based on the recommendations of the Cat Fairies.
Boxes 5-6 are covered. Box 7 is in the back of the basement. Boxes 8-9 are upstairs so mom made a separate spreadsheet to track those — and she’ll use her pawesome data entry skills and combine all this scientific mumbo jumbo into a spreadsheet. Hold up, she just said she wants a chart. No way!
This is our pee clump count (from the basement) in May.
Look at this — I hate boxes 5 & 6. Covered boxes are the worst, yo.
Also noticed that I only peed once in May. That’s a big step. I peed in a cardboard box, but you can’t blame me. I wanted it to smell better.
That’s all for now, suckers. Mom has to compile the chart. Here’s a picture of how we look on the computer.
I’d rather be Scrubbin than doing Excelz.
Scrubby- how does Mom know you only peed once in May- or is that you fessing up?
And what happens to these charts when she travels?
And what is up? why is she doing this- is she ah going bonkers? or are you cats taking over the house?
@Debbie Dad covers the charts when mom is out of town. Or the babysitter, Ryan, who is pawesome. We’re doing this to get my pees under control. I’m also taking a supplement called Anxitane and it makes me less crazy than Kitty prozac. http://www.virbacvet.com/other/product/anxitane_l_theanine_chewable_tablets/
You are so freakin’ funny. Seriously. I’ll take Scrubby’s pee blog over the morning news anytime. Thanks for giving me my 1st smile of the day.
@Ginny I think we got a niche with the pee blog, don’t you think??
How incredibly comprehensive! I just gave Dr. Jones and Trillian a covered litter box to keep the kitty litter to carpeting ratio in my office more to my liking. So far, so good.
@AJ We’ll keep our fingers crossed for you!
Very scientifical!
@daisy We’re using our massive kitty intellect over here.
My favorite pee trick is to hang my rear over the edge of the catbox and pee on the floor. I can even do it from a regular covered box. My maid found a covered catbox where I have to walk up a ramp and turn a corner, so the best I can do is pee on the ramp. So is the litter in box 7 your favorite, or do you just like peeing in the basement?
@corky I like peeing in the basement boxes — and yes, #7 is my favorite. I also like #9 that is upstairs in the bonus room, but you didn’t get to see that spreadsheet. We have never seen your ramp box. Is it a Booda? Those boxes are fancy.
I love Excel! You and your mom are awesome!
@SCG You wanna do our excel??? <3
See what I say about covered litter boxes? Many kitties don’t like ‘em. If a human gets them and the cats use them, they should be eternally grateful to those kitties and give them extra treats and toys.
BTW, how come when you click on the chart to enlarge it, it goes sideways? I can read it fine that way, but it’s hard for my human.
@sparkle So true. Covered litter boxes are not the first choice for so many kitties. PS — we futzed around with WordPress for 15 minutes last night to answer your question and gave up. SCRUB IT. Only with the f-word.
I always thought my mom was the biggest spreadsheet whore on the planet (followed by me at a close second). I see, now, the error of my thinking. I bow down to the master.
@mouse we’re just amateurs around here. trust me, yo.
Good job Scrubs! You’re making progress…
@puddy Thanks!!
