Tonight, after several weeks of "talking the talk", we finally "walked the walk" and removed the rug that was under the former litter box. It was completely soaked in wet, yellow fluid! I suspect the coverage was from over the course of months, but there was definitely moist areas making me think this has been an area for "relieving" themselves since they have been using the roasting pan in the toilet...and I'm pretty convinced it's only Jerri. But, now the rug is gone, in the dumpster, and not coming back. With the cats still not permitted to be in the living room or bedroom when we aren't around, this leaves only the toilet. I hope that I won't have to remove the area rug from under the kitchen island or the runner in front of the sink/dishwasher/oven.
I have seen both cats using the roasting pan inside the litter box on a regular basis. They tend to each "go" twice a day. Tom consistently pushes all the litter down inside the toilet to cover his mess while Jerri leaves everything to be seen and smelled by us. A few times, I have still found remnants on the toilet seat and down the side of the toilet.
Thank goodness for Clorox Disinfecting Wipes!
We have been stagnate for the past two weeks with no changes to the amount of litter, use of catnip, and size of the hole in the roasting pan. Now it's time to step it up! I cut a small piece of the pan making the hole a bit larger meaning less space to stand and less litter.
Updates to come....
