Yes, I don't remember ever seeing a cat as determined to retrieve the contents of its litter tray. Usually they want little else to do with it.
The kitty is still doing that every time the litterbox starts to self clean...:rolleyes:

Anyone who hangs around GD as much as you do is bound to get a little funny. :biggrin:

Evo, haven't you memorized the codes for all the smilies yet?! :smile: It must get boring sitting around in one spot all day, every day, just waiting for people to poke you in the nose with their pointers. :rolleyes:

By the way, if it looks like I am trolling for a nomination, I'm not. Haven't been around way too long (have been around way too little?). I'm just here to honk people off. :biggrin:

Ut oh. I think I was the next person to act up. Pythagorean is going to be trying to spank me.

I'm sure that if you are patient, Pythagorean will be happy to smack your ornery (or is it horny?) bottom as well. :approve:

Have you noticed that Pythagorean has disappeared since I suggested the whole, fluffing of the offender's "fleshy built in chair cushions" anyway?
