This knife feels like a knife feels like a knife that feels like it's fed.

• A mostly non-sucky article on poly in today's Observer (courtesy katyha).

Neo has taken to using the very large potplant in the lounge as a litter tray. I suppose it's good that he's learning to poo on soil. Gah. Wood chippings or stones will be obtained ASAP.

quiet000001 has lost all her spoons (they're not even behind the couch), but arkady and I will be journeying to the Dev later this afternoon in any case (when I've done all my housework). See you there?

Maybe you should put soil in the litter tray?

[reddragdiva]

That might work too!

Also, if you look around, you may be able to find (no, I'm high, or joking) dog litter, which is designed for city dwellers who cannot be botehred to take Widdle Pookie Poodle Poo out for a walk very often. It's a different texture than cat litter and may also do the trick.

Unfortunately, in Europe, where the history is from, people may not have become quite so lazy yet that it's marketed there...

clumping cat litter. very fine grained, just like nice loose soil.

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Or try various different types of litter. Some cats really, really dislike certain litters.

Damn. I've lost the URL of the people near Stroud who sell reconditioned examples.

[hairyears.livejournal.com]

...of litter trays?

[hirez.livejournal.com]

Yes. They're a funny bunch round there.

Wow, you're right. That poly article was actually pretty fair and balanced. The part about monogamous people living in a fantasy world did make me twitch a bit.

[reddragdiva]

Obviously the commenter was too highly evolved.

[50-ft-queenie.livejournal.com]

Of course, just like *all* poly people.

Ah, that's why I kept thinking I could smell a feline accident in the lounge but couldn't actually find it. Good to know I'm not going mad.
If your cats desire a more earthy feeling when taking a dump, perhaps you could add some rock-type litter to their litter box?

My cat went through a phase of that with my big potted palms too. pebbles stopped her. I'm lucky enough to live somewhere that those are plentiful, though! Also, you could try a citrussy essential oil in the soil. It stopped her for a few days at a time until I discovered the pebbles thing.

Arkady put lemon oil around the lip of the pot, but I thought maybe a bag of landscaping pebbles from B&Q might do the trick, so thanks for that!

[phelyan.livejournal.com]

White pepper also does the trick and sits on top of the soil a little better.

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

How many litter trays do you have?

[redcountess]

Just the one, now that tompusscat has gone home to arkady's place.

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

Vicky Hall (Cat Confidential) reckons one per cat, and one spare. We've never gone that way, but it might be worth a try.

I'm typing this on a 02MAY86 silver label, btw. I also have an 88 and a 90 model.

We have so much in common, David.

[reddragdiva]

It's like Earth and anti-Earth!

This is a matter of great current interest to me as my Model M has been blessed with the holy Kitten Pee.

[yellowrocket.livejournal.com]

The goth dancing article is just glorious...

[reddragdiva]

IT'S ALL TRUE!

[kest]

and now you know why I never go out.
