    Veggie lasagna is a tricky dish. I only made it once.

    What kind of litter did you try?

    I got the only one they had in a plastic container. 9 lives. The last thing I need is a bunch of cats ripping open a bag of litter and tracking it everywhere and turning my entire living room into a litter box.

    I really need to find a vacuum. Then find some way to get it home on my bike.

    Make sure to save that container for next time, than you can put the litter that comes in the bag in the container (if you want to try another brand).

    I planned on it. The first litter container I emptied got washed out several times and re-purposed to hold food, instead of getting it out of the giant bag all the time.

    The other litter container is holding the litter scoop. I got tired of edith dragging it around, and the kittens were starting to try to copy her.

    Way to do the three R's! Very Green of you.

    I had to spend $10 to get a container for dog food.

    I feel your pain.

    If you put something the kitties aren't too keen on the smell of in the area you don't want them to poop that might deter them. Suggestions: Lavendar - plant or essential oil, citrus spray or oil, garlic cloves, mothballs. Some people say tumble dryer sheets work.

    How about covering the carpet with plastic runner, they won't like the feel of it and it would be easier to clean if they still persist.

    Some people put helium balloons in the areas they don't want the kitties to go, having something shiny bobbing about distracts them and they don't get too close.

    If they insist on going in a certain spot why not move the litter tray to there, with plastic sheeting under if need be, until they get the hang of always using it - or having extras ones there?

    Do hope you find a solultion short of strangling them. :)

    One cat fell off the end table onto another cat. That sent a third cat jumping behind the couch, getting tangled in the blind for a second on the way down. Cats 4 through 6 ran for cover as fast as they could. Mommy cat spent five minutes walking around, talking, convinced one of her babies got hurt. The entire time, I was laughing my a$$ off.

    Who needs cable when you have constant entertainment with kitties?
