Back in the saddle again

February 25th, 2008

saddle.jpgI am not even going to complete my Saturday food log or start one for Sunday.  I was ridiculously off plan.  TG I do not own a scale or I would be obsessively weighing myself all day.  I have a weigh-in Wednesday A.M. and am going to be 100% strictly on plan until then to hopefully do some damage control.  I’m also going to make a solemn vow to get in a good amount of exercise today and tomorrow, which should be relatively easy because I have a light workload this week, as opposed to a hellacious workload last week which led to no grocery shopping for fresh veggies and fruits, which makes it even easier to indulge in bad snacking habits, which I did, with a vengeance.

So, no big pity party, no big self recriminations.  It’s over.  It’s done.  Time to get back on plan.

The big problem d’jour that I need to deal with is one of my two cats.  She has decided she doesn’t use litter boxes anymore.  Nope.  Just poops on the floor instead.  Isn’t she cute? ARRGGHHHHH.  I have been googling that topic all weekend and have gotten the advice to replace the box, replace the brand of litter, and put it in a new location.  I’ve had this cat for two years and never an issue until the last week or so.  No major household changes to account for it.  And it’s not like she’s picked a “new spot” where I can move the litter box.  Each poop has been in a different location of the house.  Got to figure this one out asap!

    Recently, my cat decided she didn’t like the litter box anymore too!!! She’s 5 years old. She always went right outside it though. No matter how clean it was. Then she decided she wanted to pee outside the litter box too! Now that’s the worst! I moved my litter box and that fixed the problem (so far). Good luck!

    Thanks for sharing that information. When my other cat Sam changed his elimination problems he was trying to tell me that he was sick. Maybe a trip to the vet is needed? I now only have Peanut. Her problem is that she doesn’t like her prescribed cat food - she has kidney issues - but does still use the box ok. I would be interested in knowing what the end result is for you.
