When Taki came to live with us, I added a third kitty litter pan. The one I purchased was a low wall pan, with one end on the short side of the rectangle lower than the others, and the long sides sloping up. I really did not want that style of pan, but my options were limited when I purchased the pan. It was appropriate, though, because Taki was young, and a low side was easier for her to access.
The other two pans I have are low pans, with attached sides. The low pans are 3-4 inches, and the attached sides are another 3-4 inches.
A while back, I got ride of that low pan, because so much litter was scratched out of the pan. I purchased a high sided pan, much higher that the other two pans I have, and the low side on the short end of the rectangle is about the height of the other pans.
Tonight, I heard a clatter and started to look for it. It sounded like a plastic plate on linoleum or tile. I did not see from where the clatter might have originated on my quick perusal through the house. I have learned not to worry, because sooner or later, I will see what happened.
It was time to clean out the kitty litter pans, and sure enough, I discovered the source of the clatter. Haiku was sitting in the high sided pan, which was turned on its long side, with some of the litter dumped out. Haiku was busy using the pan. When I saw her, she looked a little disconcerted.
Haiku has a very expressive face. More so than the other cats, I can look at Haiku and tell if she is content, disturbed, worried, upset or even scared. Well, she was definitely disconcerted by the status of the kitty litter pan. But, she did her business and I was able to fix the problem quickly afterwards.
