Hi there ,
You probably think I ask the most stupid questions , but I am not too keen on google unless it’s my last resort ;
Cleo as a closed potty here at home , but at our place in lakes she got an open potty .
She always does her business right at the front and on occasion her business was on the floor . Because she didn’t go in far enough , but that’s not a problem and easy sorted ,
Now say she done a wee that’s ok she will go back in and do a poop . But then next time if you haven’t removed the poop , she sits crying . So we tend to clean up straight away but at night time , we always check but sometimes she needs to go more than once and she wakes up to sort her potty ,
Strange enough the open potty at our place in lakes she does her wee one side and poop the other , but then if she needs go again she will poop on the wee side she as already used
Friends who know me I am disabled and virtually live in our bed room , because our bathroom is on this floor .. so Cleo lives in here with me the children take her to play and she got loads of toys so I don’t think she is unhappy as she is very spoilt
So please what do you think I thought closed potty with flap off would be ideal for in bedroom where we live
Is this just a sphynx trait like the poop paws. On floor lol
Any advice would be great
Thanks in advance

Anita & Cleo xxx

@Anita Eccleston , my crew all use covered boxes . I get the largest one and always take off the door flaps.

Mine are very particular about their litter boxes - I swear I scoop 3-4 times a day

I think this little madam thinks she was born with a silver spoon in her mouth lol
She really is a fuss pot but better this way then what I have read some sphynx mums have to do
Did you see her pics ? I paid a fortune for those voiles ! And my children say mum you would have killed us for less ah ha
It must be love love love ( I sang that bit to you Tammy lol)
Massive hugs
Anita & Cleo. Xxx

My crew has open litterboxes. I have big ones. Bought a smaller one once and Toa pooped outside the litterbox. So back with the big boxes.

Ross is like Cleo, born with a silver spoon. He demands I clean the poop before he goes back in the box. He stands next to the box yelling until I come to scoop. I scoop twice a day.

I have three cats and three litterboxes!

@Anita Eccleston ,I have ome box per kitty plus an extra
I use all covered large boxes (door flaps removed )
Amd scoop 3 times a day

I always looked at litter boxes as "would I want to go in there?" lol
They watch and wait till it is just perfect
I think of it like our own toilets we like clean

@Yoda mom I was going to say we would never use a dirty bathroom lol
Or eat from a dirty plate , I wish her bowls before each feed but her dry food bowl only once a day when I fill it to top ..

When I can't find something ( bcz my mom says a house never loses anything lol)

Well I can tell you this the only food or sweet I’ve seen her turn her nose up at is any thing mint !!
Now we have lamb shanks done in a casserole dish with herbs and mint after the meats are removed my daughter makes a gravy with all the natural juices. Then pours this over potatoes and veg that is possibly the only time she doesn’t hover over my plate with those beautiful eyes saying go on go on mum give um some lol it doesn’t matter what I eat she must sample it’s like I’ve said
“” my food is her food !! “”
“” her food is her own !! “

I’d give her the shirt off my back if she wanted it lol
From now on going keep my eye on this lady lol
