Saving Seiko: Please Meowmie, May I Have Some More?

November 18, 2008

Please Meowmie, may I have some more? - Litter boxes , that is.

Well, Seiko is pissed (literally) with the addition of William a new rescue/foster . She has decided to make wee-wee on the sofa and bed in the room he frequents. I think she feels there are not enough litter boxes. Don't ask me how I know this, I just do. She looked at me and the idea popped into my head. So tonight I added two more boxes upstairs. She went right in the one and made big wee-wee.

If extra boxes do not resolve the problem, I will need to get her to Dr. Welch for a check up. That really should be the first thing anyone does when a cat stops using the litter box. Most litter box problems do stem from a physical cause - but I know my diva girl and am pretty sure this is psychological.

I think I'll crank up the Feliway Diffusers too.

Once upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.

As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean. He came closer still and called out “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?”

The young man paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean.”

“I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?” To this, the young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”

Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, “But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!”

At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, “It made a difference for that one.”
