For the first time in nearly 40 years, we no longer have even one cat but every one of the many cats we've had always preferred the garden - even when old and infirm. 
Not sure who has the best deal really

I used to lock them in when we went away for holidays and the neighbours fed them. The buggers refused to use the expensive anti-stink covered, filtered cat bog I'd bought and shat in the houseplants instead.CitroJim wrote:Because the lady in the pet shop started asking me exactly what I wanted it for if it was not for its intended purpose..

I've just been given a Bengal cross male kitten. I hope he's the same. He's been named Dave. I think that's a great name for a cat.

Maybe because they though that if it isn't actually for a cat, it might be that CitroJim's toilet was out of action.Old-Guy wrote:I have to ask, "Why?"CitroJim wrote:If you ever go into a pet shop to buy a litter tray for your workshop for gawd's sake don't tell 'em it's not actually for a cat.

No, the room is just for the litter tray
That is perfectly normal for well adjusted cats (and neurotic dogs!). Quite a few years ago my Mum ran the London Marathon. She moored up in Little Venice. Jamaica (her Siamese cat) was out for a wander, when a dog started chasing her. She hopped back onto the boat, in through her cat door (a panel out of the normal door) and curled up on the sofa. Unfortunately the dog hopped onto the boat, stuck its head through the cat door, and barked at her. Jamaica decided that this was rude, and attacked (in full battle mode, which is very impressive). The dog realised it had overstepped the mark and started hurtling along the tow path, with its tail so far between its legs that it was out in front. Jamaica was chasing this dog as fast as it could run. Apparently she did catch the dog, and did it very little actual harm, but it was nervous around cats ever since.Xantia97 wrote:No, in our house the cats chase the dogs!!!
