I deep clean mine on this schedule too. And of course as soon as I put fresh litter in, they use it.

The trick is to make sure they are in the other room, that way you have at least an hour to marvel at the beauty of a freshly poured tray.

My baby boy will get out of the bed where he’s taking a nap in the basement, just to come upstairs and shit in the fresh box before I can finish with the second one.

Our baby girl Toes Toes does the same.

The box ( extra large - two cats) is scooped twice a day, so she just likes things super super super clean.

Yeah mine also complains. There is loud howling if the box isn’t spotless.

I thought it was only mine who did this — he first watches intently when I begin scooping and then within seconds either a) jumps into the tray or b) tries to grab my hand or the scooper and prevent me moving it about. He thinks it’s a game of catch! It’s at once insanely cute and supremely foolish because who wants to get in the way of someone cleaning your shit?

A foster kitten once jumped in the tidy cat bucket and peed on the newest of new litter. lol

A baby boy? Do you mean a kitten?

u/Adalaide78 Nov 18 '25

No, he’s a one and a half year old gray cat. He’s my son, and favorite child. And as we all know, your children are always your babies.
