Angus commented: "Sounds like somebody doesn't really care for the Breeze.. 3 somebodies!" True, but it has only been one and a half days (reported previously). I think we have to give it at least a 10 day trial and maybe 2 weeks. Got to be as fair as possible. Keep sending comments though. We need the outside thoughts, critical or whatever!
DAY #3 MONDAY – DAY
Basement – The Breeze Litterbox was not used. The scoopable litterbox had 1 Ayla pee and poop and 1 LC pee.
Upstairs – Skeeter and Ayla each peed once.
(Monday daytime was a “mostly outdoors” day – The weather was fablous)
DAY #3 MONDAY – NIGHT
Basement – The Breeze Litterbox was not used. The scoopable litterbox had 2 LC pees and 2 Ayla pees. There was another LC poop on the floor (different spot).
[Summary: I have been carefully sifting the Breeze pellets added to the basement scoopable litterbox so that they stay on top so that the cats can get used to them. I observed Ayla carefully raking them away to make a “clean” spot to use. Ayla happily includes the pellets in her “coverup” duty, though. I haven’t noticed LC’s habit.]
Upstairs – Skeeter peed and pooped twice each, Ayla pooped twice.
DAY #4 TUESDAY – DAY
[Note: Because of LC’s seeming fixation on separate poop/pee usage for adjoining litterboxes, I have moved the Breeze litterbox to the right (pee) side and the scoopable one to the left (poop) side to see if that helps.]
Basement – The Breeze Litterbox was not used. The scoopable litterbox had 1 LC poop, 2 Ayla pees and poops. [Observation: It was hot today, so the deck door was closed most of the day and the cats didn’t go outside much.]
Upstairs – 3 Skeeter pees and 2 poops and 2 LC pees.
DAY #4 TUESDAY – NIGHT
Basement – The Breeze litterbox was not used. The scoopable litterbox had 2 poops each from LC and Ayla. [Note: There was a pool of pee on the basement floor away from the Breeze litterbox, in a cardboard box (the box had an open slot in the bottom). It has to be LC. She apparently will not use the Breeze litterbox. Ayla won’t use it either, but she is happy with the scoopable litterboxes upstairs or the 1 in the basement. Skeeter hasn’t even tried it.
Upstairs – Skeeter peed 3 times and pooped once and Ayla peed twice.
[Note: The Breeze Litterbox guidelines say to "stop maintenance" on the old litterbox after day 3, which I took to mean "remove the other litterbox". I was about to empty and remove the old (scoopable) litterbox, but suddenly realized that one of Ms Maureen's emails was actually saying to leave the old one in place all "used". That makes sense. Given a choice between a familiar but very used litterbox and a nice clean unfamiliar one, a kitty might be more inclined to give the new one a try. So, the old one stays in place "dirty". OK, but it would be just my luck if the kitty police decided to visit here in the next days. LOL! I'll take the chance... ;)]
The experiment continues...
