    The graduation is something lovely to look forward to. Hope your feeling a bit better. Don’t think I could do cat litter tray - can’t think of anything worse:eek:

    I hate litter trays too, but Miss Gertie Gumdrops is too posh to go outside :rotfl::rotfl:

    Her big brother does his ablutions outside but does protest when it’s raining cats and dogs,

    We have a box which They accesss from the top.. which keeps the mess in but not the odours :rotfl::rotfl:
    As a dear MSE friend says “keep plodding” or
    What does the saying say.... When life hands you lemons, make lemonade
    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

    I've always found if you have a litter tray in the house it gets used but if they've all got access to outside, remove the tray and they'll be fine. We'll put one down if it's very windy or snowy but only our old boy will use it for a wee if he's really really desperate.

    I tried this over a three week period and unfortunately it just did not work. At all. So I persevered but after 3 weeks it was obvious wit was not going to be happening. Sadly.
    That is the downside of rescue cats when you are only able to get a certain amount of information about them.
    My vet also said that they were certain that Madam Jill had been in a car accident which actually explains a lot.

    Beanie , hope you got the bank fraud thing sorted out. Cat litter trays are not my favourite thing but if you need them then you need them.

    How are you feeling today, it's been quite mild here , and a nice day for a walk.
