Corgi + Cat related (Litter box issues!)

Hi All,

I know this is more of a cat issue than a corgi issue, but it affects my nubs directly- I have a cat who can't keep it in the litter box.

She goes into the litter box, and then hangs her rear end OVER THE EDGE to poo. She doesn't do this when she pees, I assume because the mechanics of her stance are different. I've watched her, and I know she's not freaked out about the litter box, because she goes right in there!

Ok, I know this is more of a cat problem, but what she ends up doing is leaving disgusting "dog treats" for my corgis who don't even have to forage in the box. YUCK!

I know from reading other posts that we are not the only cat + corgi household on the site. Anyone else have this issue and have a solution?

Thanks!

I just don't get the random pooping thing. Is it a message? a comment? Is she leaving a gift for the corgi sisters? It drives me nuts. It's like drinking out of the toilet. (princess kitty does that too). It doesn't matter if you JUST changed the water in the kitty bowl, she still drinks out of the toilet. Sigh. She doesn't PEE randomly.

Maybe it's their subtle reminder that THEY own us? Making sure we're paying attention to their eccentricities? Other than that, I'm stumped.

We had to retrain all the humans in our house to close the lid everytime so cats and corgi don't get to drink out of the toilet.

Slightly unrelated, but this is my favorite cat drinking video of all time lol:

Re this video:

This is what we professionals refer to as: "Not Quite Getting the Concept"

That would be us drinking professionals, btw.

your corgi can reach? I've been thankful that our corgi girls legs are too stubby. I have not trained the husband successfully yet to close the lid. : (
