I've noticed that the amount of room I give him to play does help with the getting into things factor. Since I started letting him play with Olivia throughout the house he hasn't gotten into ONE thing. He hasn't climbed on the desk and gotten into anything he's not supposed to. So I take it that means he is EXTREMELY happy with his exercise time? He has a playmate and he can get tons of exercise and be free to snoop everywhere. I don't even have to worry about b-fast time anymore because as soon as you open his cage he says he'll catch me later...As for the dog's? He doesn't pick on them at all anymore. I guess when he's bored is when he gets into trouble? It took me awhile to figure out but the new cage was the first eye opener. Now this is another. I do have ONE huge question though. Those of you with cats...how do you keep him from snorkeling in the cat litterbox??? That is one YUCKY habit that I saw him doing this morning and I'd like to nip that in the bud ASAP. Any suggestions as to how you can set up the box so the cat can use it but Cyrano can't snorkel??? What can I set it on? If I set it on something will the cat still use it??? Or is there another way? Besides the fact that it is a yucky habit I don't like the thought of him snorkeling in the clumping cat litter either. :-( I keep wondering how his little nose can stay clear. :-( Faith [Posted in FML issue 3402]
