Oh Liz - from Spike to Miss Sparkle in 6 months
Stevo, was going to say that about the litter tray too.
But you'll get to the point where you don't think twice about cleaning the tray anyway - really, you will.
We used to make a game of it with Ross when he was little, and we'd praise him for using it, and call him a clever little Mr Stinky. He wasn't very savvy about the tray - he knew what to do, but he would scrape away the litter, poop and then stand in it whilst he covered over nothing in particular.
Then as he got older, he would pat the poo into the littter.
But now, at the grand old age of 10 and a half months he knows exactly what to do, gets on with it and needs no assistance. But he does like to watch us clean the tray so he can make sure it's all been done nice and tidy like.
Standards, you know?
Am so pleased you have a companion who likes her snoozes with her Dad on the settee. Exactly what you wanted.
I have to say, she's got a beautifully shiny coat in those photos.
