Okay so we had a set back. A couple of accidents on the living room floor. Yuk. :( This was after the hole in the aluminum pan was about half the size of the pan. I guess she got a little nervous that there was no room for any litter. Which sent little miss kitty to spend her overnights locked in the bathroom, since she’d do it while i was sleeping. Now we’re back on track. The aluminum pan is entirely gutted. Just the frame remains. All her business goes directly into the toilet. I think the remains of the pan may be a comfort thing, so I’m going to wait a few days and then remove it and see if she’s okay with that.
