Ha ha! He's probably very impressed you've decorated his litter tray Grin

You need to remove all plants to out of reach.

Kenworthington · 16/08/2016 09:43

Bums. Literally

Plant is outside, litter has been changed for Mr fussy paws and he has had a wee in it hurrrrahhhh

He's basically been asleep all day , managed to stir himself to scoff his tea, yawned, licked himself and gone back to sleep. Are they meant to sleep so much? Is he going to be awake all night creating havoc?? He's purring sooo loudly

Gawd knows. But have you put away the Ming Vases for the duration? Grin

cozietoesie · 16/08/2016 19:23

Poo is usually less often than pee. Smile

Kenworthington · 16/08/2016 19:29

I don't think I can fully celebrate until the poo Grin

I shall be sure to hide the Ming dahling

Full use of tray certainly lends itself to a more relaxed atmosphere. He's used his tray to pee though, so he knows what it's for now. Smile

I love the new-kitten-in-the-home time, just wait until 3am when he starts mew-ing/squeeking, though.....oh, and try to climb up the side of your bed, and wee-ing everywhere......magical time....

poochiepants · 16/08/2016 19:38

You do know that cats are mainly nocturnal, right??

Kenworthington · 16/08/2016 19:39

Oh god

Yup. Sleeping is normal. This is mine, preparing himself for a spot of mouse chasing laters

Ours were tiny when we got them, only 3 weeks, so I had to teach them how to use the litter tray. The cotton wool worked a treat as well as putting them in the litter tray after every meal and sort of scraping the litter with their paw. They quickly caught on.

He is adorable and looks like my little black cat. Mine still have their manic moments but are just growing out of it at about 1 year old Grin

Lorelei76 · 16/08/2016 21:45

Oh he's gorgeous
I guess he'll be well up for a party at 3 am Grin

Kenworthington · 16/08/2016 22:46

He's up for a party now! I've come up to bed and he's snuck up after me and dived under the bed. I've tried pulling him out. He appears to be a bit wedged in. Fgs

TheNorthWestPawsage · 16/08/2016 22:55

Accept it - he's moving in to the bedroom! Just bring his bed upstairs Grin

cozietoesie · 16/08/2016 23:28

That's good. Smile Maybe he'll go under the covers and sleep through!

ShipwreckedAndComatose · 17/08/2016 08:37

Good morning! How was your night?

Kenworthington · 17/08/2016 08:51

Morning! Good, he slept downstairs and this morning- poo in the tray
