Ahhh, bless his little Monkee heart........ :)
So tidy!
Yes, they make great kitty hide aways or Princess Naughty Lola in the felv+
Suite likes to lay in hers w/ the top off.
The bottom of the Dome holds a standard size kitty donut bed exactly.........

Regarding what Susan said about the Booda Dome, I guess it depends on the
cat. Monkee's pee never got outside of it but then again, he was
purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect! And he would have died of shame and a little
OCD-freak-out if that had happened (& can you believe he came from "outside"?)
But I would never use the Booda Dome on the foster kittens I have now-- psycho
little devils! They would just play in it! But thanks Susan, that gives me an
idea. I have Monkee's old Dome cleaned and sitting outside and I thought about
donating it, but all of a sudden, with taking in these kittens, I have become
the charity! So I guess I will get it out and they can use it as a hideaway,
play thing, when the get let out of their crates for "play time." Which is
play time for them, a little bit of h*ll for me!

Thanks, Caroline. We tried a covered box at one point, actually a couple
of years ago, but she tended to poop on the lip of that too, so we switched to
a regular box with a snap-on lip and that seemed to do it *for a while.* We
will certainly look into the Booda Dome, although I'm sure all our other goofs
would want to go in it too. And I'll try moistening some crunchies and see if
she goes for them.

Poor thing! That sounds so horrible! Can you get a bigger box? Monkee
had the Booda Dome and he loved it. He was very private about his bathroom- he
didn't want anyone to ever see him go and he was sensitive about his big size
when in the litter box, so I could tell he wanted a really large one because he
didn't like if his body touched the sides and he loathed a dirty litter box
(god love him, he was such a little clean-freak...now you see why I worshiped
him so much! He had so many "human" tendencies!). The Booda Dome is big and
has a ramp that leads into it, curving back to where the kidney-shaped
"depository" is. Maybe a built-in ramp like that would help? Then she
wouldn't have to step up and into a box?
As for food, can you try wetting down crunchies? Since I sprinkle Brewer's
Yeast on crunchies for my neighborhood outdoor cats, I also add some warm water
to wet down the Brewer's Yeast. The little monsters love this! It does make
the crunchies softer and soggy after a while, but not as soft as actual wet
food, so you would still get some tarter-scraping benefits.

We have an elderly little girl who's got a tartar problem, but is too
delicate to put under for cleaning. As a result, we don't think she's been
eating the crunchies we let everybody free-feed on all day. She gets whatever
part of the 2 wet food cans (the little ones) that we put out every suppertime
(and we even think *that* kind of sticks to her teeth, poor thing). We've been
looking for something between the crunchies and the wet, the way Tender Vittles
used to be, so we can leave them out for her and they won't be too hard to
chew. She's so, so skinny -- hyperthyroid -- and we can't seem to put any
weight on her little bones.
Also, recently she's been missing the litterbox -- she'll climb in, but
not far enough not to pee over the edge. We've already tried removing the
snap-on lid and repositioning the box, but that doesn't seem to help. Next
step is a rubber mat in consideration of our carpet, but I was wondering if
anybody had any more useful advice. (I don't know if this is a factor, but a
few weeks ago she was at the kitty ER with a big infection from a bite we
hadn't even noticed through her long hair. I picked her up one Sunday morning,
she said "YOW" and it felt like she'd peed in my lap. Put her down, it smelled
like she'd poo'ed in my lap, but it was thin and light colored. Then while I
was changing, my housemate went to clean her up, and there was no mess on her
bottom, it was coming out of her back. I had never seen so much stinky pus in
my life, and from this tiny girl! ER doc shaved her, cleaned up the bite
wounds and gave us some Clav. That wound healed up pretty well, but then last
weekend there was another big hole, where we think she bit off a big clump of
matted fur we hadn't been able to figure out how to trim off her. Now that one
is starting to scab over pretty cleanly. We were wondering if maybe her little
rump hurts her when she climbs in, or what. Once I tried just scootching her
up when she went in there, and she got mortally offended and ran away.
