An interesting patient came in today; Esmeralda (the names have been changed to protect the innocent;-)), who was having trouble hitting the litter box. The problem was, there were 3 other house mates, and we could not be sure if Esmeralda was truly the culprit.
Enter Christmas in July.
We all know the glitter projects we made as kids, or our kids now do for us ( my favorite is the hand shape). We can use this to our advantage in the cat and dog world when we are trying to see who is a culprit.
What we suggested is to feed a certain colored glitter to each individual cat in their food. You may have to moisten the food with water to make sure the glitter will stick. You definitely do _not_ want to use glue - especially not the Gorilla glue. We'll be operating to remove that from them.
So put a bit of glitter on the food with some water, and then keep track of which glittery poop is missing the box. Then we know who is the offending litter box misser.
Fun little facts to learn who is doing what in the house!
