For three years Pretty's litter box
has worked well.(Standard litter box within large cardboard box with with two inch high sides.) I still had to sweep up some clumping litter sand off the cement floor a few times a week. However, engineer hubby saw a box at Walmart and said it would be great for kitty.
It's one of those larger boxes with one side with a curved opening. After I got home, I found
that the other cardboard box fit exactly into the new box! Pretty LOVES it! Her own bathroom! Now there are only a few sands weekly to clean up (from tracking)!
She came to us completely potty trained. I have given her "Pet Naturals UT Support" for about two years now and she never has had potty troubles even right after her attack. I hope that our experience helps others here with their precious furballs!

Hi greenangel,I sent you a comment a minute ago and it disappeared. I'll try again.I was just saying I was so glad to hear someone else has learned the value of cardboard boxes.I have had to use them for Snookie ever since she was a baby.She just wouldn't use the potty like a little girl,she would stand up and spray like a little boy and miss the whole litter.So, I've always made her boxes and cut the front out for her to get in.She loves it, because I make her a new box pretty often.When she sees me making one,she knows it's for her and will watch me and as soon as I put the fresh litter in, she goes in.I have come to like it over the years because it's easier on me.I don't have to use a lot of litter and it helps to keep the litter odor down changing it out often.I do the same for the kittens, only I use box lids I get from Pet Smart that the can foods come in.I use just enough litter to cover the bottom and every 3 or 4 days throw it away and use a fresh box lid.(of course it gets cleaned daily) But,it is so helpful for me with the kittens my little stinkers can make a Big mess sometimes and it's just nice I can throw it out... I was interested in the Pet Naturals you mentioned ,I would like to know more about that.Snookie and my boy Hobie has had a problem with UT for a while.and Hobie has a problem taking antibiotic's,he can't keep it down.liquid or tablets.and I don't know how to help him.Maybe the P.N.would be something I should look into.

Hi Allison! It's great that boxes have helped you, too! And ~ they are FREE! The Pet Naturals are all herbal. They are pretty reasonable from Swanson Vitamins and other sources on The Web. I feed her twice a day and give her one with her meal. Package says one a day. She always eats it like a treat.They are liver flavored. For a very long time, Pretty
has had the same bowel movements everyday.
When I first brought her home after her stiches, she went twice in her litter box right away! There are a lot of natural items that help our kitties. It's so NICE to hear from you a cat person!
