Don't hate me because I'm beautiful, part 3

I didn't get a photo of this, although there certainly was enough time. I watched Shirley in stupefied amazement for over a minute as she scraped the litter box.

I mean that literally. Instead of scraping the kitty litter, she stood on the edges of the box and scraped the box. Because maybe if she scrapes at it long enough, the edges will fall down and cover the litter. Or whatever.

No wonder every time Laverne hears a noise*, she runs to investigate. Someone has to be responsible for the dumb cat.

* "What if Shirley needs me?"

Sometimes you have teach cats these things. I had a cat that had a number of issues with the box. I had to hold his paws and show him, over and over. Finally he at least confined the deposit and the litter moving mostly inside the box.
Before, he stood in the box, hung over the edge, pooped on the floor then turned around and tossed litter over another side. He was not quite normal.
But he was trainable.
