2. Their litter box habits are interesting, to say the least. (I was joking. Bronwyn likes to hide.)

She will stand at the sliding glass door, pawing away at it. When I open the door, she darts off and 'hides'. Not very well, mind you. I think it's a game.

Every morning when I go to the laundry room cupboard to get the kidcats wet food, Arthur and Sian RUSH to the litter box to make a 'deposit'. It's like they are making room for more.

When I first brought Sophie home from a horrible hoarding situation, she would get VERY upset when I scooped the litter box. She would actually start digging around and looking at me as if to say "Where are my stuff!!!!' Truthfully, her previous human was a drug addict who never cleaned litter boxes - she just poured more litter. Boudicca was near feral and hid away in the piles of things filling the house. It was a true nightmare situation. She even had a dog that NEVER went outside. Apparently she thought dogs used litter boxes, too.

And, yea, I NEVER scold the kidcats for things like hair balls or vomit. It gets cleaned up and they get scritches.
