This. When you start seeing poops outside the box this is why.

Get one of those big plastic tubs and use it for a litterbox. They'll never complain again.

[–] Sprinks@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (3 children)

We use those large metal bins used in food service because the metal makes it so easy to clean.

Edit: This.

[–] StickyDango@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

Thanks, I'm never going to look at these the same again.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

We were informed the high walls of a plastic tub were preferable. :D

Cat also seems to have short legs, might make squatting difficult.

Get a bigger box, And more fiber in the diet too, lol

"Damn dry food....urrrrgghhh...."

[–] teft@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Some people wipe standing and others wipe seated.

The more you know.gif

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Aw shit, not this again

How the fuck do you wipe while standing

Are y'all's elongated prolapsed buttholes somehow just hanging out?

[–] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You just put the fabric between the cheeks, I don't see the problem.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Surely you're taking the ~~piss~~ shit

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's more of a squat, hovering over the toilet seat.

Sit in a chair, rest your elbows on your knees, and lift your ass. Now, use the elbow of your non-wiping arm to keep the support while you wipe using the other arm's hand.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Note how that does not involve standing

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You're not standing upright, but standing in a squatting position. Semantics, I guess.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Not standing, then, but squatting, or leaning while seated.

[–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

No, it’s higher than a full squat, and you aren’t really leaning on anything. If you want to be super fucking pedantic you could call it a half stand I guess, but the point is your butt is off the seat.

There’s no good word for that position, and you’re doing your best to point out perceived flaws in wording rather than trying to understand.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

If someone said the word "standing" to you, that's not what you would picture.

You don't have to lean on anything to lean.

Yes, we're going to "be super fucking pedantic," if you insist on getting bent out of shape about it. First day on the Internet?

[–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

OK smart guy, which word would have been better?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -2 points 3 months ago (1 children)
[–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Ok but that’s not some universally recognized term, and is more ambiguous than what you objected to. Try again?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nope. The fallout of that whole literal shitshow revealed that basically everybody wiped their ass in a similar fashion unless they were of the enlightened bidet elite (which is moot because you still gotta dab so you don't get swamp ass).

It's the new term. Embrace. Evangelize. Wipe.

[–] ieatpillowtags@lemm.ee 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh ok so you never had a point that you were capable of defending, lost the plot a couple posts ago, and have now decided that it’s everyone else’s fault.

Welcome to the internet! First time?

I have a bidet like a proper hygienic member of society.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Make gravity do all the work, smart

[–] stonedtemplepilot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Any time I think cats can't get any more weird and loveable, I catch memes like this lol.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Guys we've all been there right? That last picture is so relatable!

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

New life hack unlocked.

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My cat does that. It is a hygienic or a comfort thing.

[–] kerntucky@infosec.pub 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Most likely the box is too small so... comfort?

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I have a cat that does it and we have a giant box. They sometimes see that it hasn't been scooped which is usually right when I come home from work. If an expert can chime in I would like to know which. Comfort is more logical but cats are known to be hygienic, it is perplexing, unless it is just both.

[–] kerntucky@infosec.pub 1 points 2 months ago

It could just be a personality trait. Cats can be quirky.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 months ago

Omg wtf. First out-loud exclamation of the day. This kitty…

[–] cabillaud@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I'm surprised he didn't pick up a magazine beforehand
