They are using the litterbox, and yes, they do somehow end up with little pieces of feces around their rear, in their paws, and/or on their tail. When I have seen them eliminate, they seem very fastidious about getting clean but in the mornings when I go to check on them, their litterbox contains feces and they are dirty. Maybe they need a nightlight so they can see better. Actually, they needed no training. I think I mentioned that somewhere. They went right to it like they had always had one. Same thing with bathing. They wash their face, body and paws quite regularly.

This brings up another question...when should I start adding litterboxes? It's 3 males, they are all content right now to share the same food bowl and litterbox (and it's very roomy) but as they grow, they will need their own...what age?

I took my dd4 to the doctor Tuesday and insisted she had ringworm, back then it was only a spot on her eyelid so the doctor told me it was eczema and to use hydrocortisone. I went round and round with the staff to get an appointment, finally got in yesterday, and was only believed AFTER I took her in with me to MY appointment (different doc for a different reason, same office) and showed the nurse the infected spots that could have been prevented or at least not as bad if someone had acted sooner. Sometimes I feel like I live in a world of insane people and I am the only sane one. :roll: :roll: :roll:
