I have three cats and one of them is a very big (long) Himalayan who always manages somehow to go on the edge of his litter box or hit the floor, so I have put a scatter rug under his litter box and I purchased a longer litter box. I tried the ones with the tops and he could not fit in it, so I just make sure he hits the box and if not clean the rug of the litter or debris on it. I don't let any of my three cats out because our vet told me it is not a good idea here with coyotes and rabies, so they are all in the house. I also always make sure the litter box is clean for all of them to use. I found with multiple cats that Cat's Pride scoopable is the best. My vets recommends shreaded paper if you have one or two cats. I tried that with three but what a mess that was, and out of all the litter out there on the market, the Cat's Pride Scoopable is the best for my cats.

kitties
I do believe that it is a crime for anyone to be shooting at a domestic animal with any type of weapon, even if it is on his property. report him. secondly, once kittie cats are outside cats, it is really hard to keep them indoors. First, I would get collars and tags for all of them, to prove they are domestic cats and not just wild strays. If he kills one, he can be fined. Secondly, since they want to stay outside, they do have little meshed in play arenas that you can put outside and not have them run off. Check out Drs. Foster&Smith pet supplies, as I am sure they have something like that. They might not like being confined, but at least they are still outside and relatively safe from human predators. These are just suggestions. I really dislike animal abusers, but you do have to do your part to keep your animals home and safe. I have watched Judge Judy too much. lol.
Oh, please do not eat the kitties
I have 3 here and I guess I would have to starve before eating those furries.
bad mommie forgot the 2 kitties outside
Little Man and Papi.
Cute, but why do you have a litter box when the cat goes outside?
One way or the other. I wouldn't have cats if I had to deal with a stinking litter box. Yuck!
And no comments about how could I possibly like my cats if I let them outdoors, blah, blah, blah.
They've always been outdoor cats. We live in a remote rural area with no traffic. They are healthy, fixed, up-to-date on all shots, vet checked, well fed and well taken care of. We tried to keep them in after hearing all of the horror stories about letting your cats outdoors, but they weren't buying it and kept howling to go out. The eldest is 13 and the younger one is 9. They started out as outdoor cats and apparently are going to stay that way. 
Okay: I have a problem with my cat and his litter box. Someone please help!
He's a good kitty. He's a big kitty. Actually, he's a 27-pound kitty and he's not but about 2 pounds overweight! BIGGGG KITTY!
He's always been great about his litter box. Lately, however, he seems to be missing it (it has a lid or housing on it). So, I've been watching. Doggone it! He is leaving his whole back 2 legs OUT!!! He crawls in head first, and then DOES HIS BUSINESS RIGHT THERE ON THE MAT!!!
He crawls out after scratching around a bit in the litter and then sniffs on his business on the matt and scratches the mat and the floor!!!
WHAT?!?! HOW do I get this cat to get his butt into the litter box? Same litter box - no problems before. Just suddenly seems to like leaving his behind out!!!
I'm exhausted! 
We adopted 3 feral cats and one of them won't use the litter box
all the time. She uses it sometimes, just not all the time. We have 2 litter boxes and she always goes in the room where the boxes are, sometimes actually touching the box and once she went on the actual box of litter. They have all been spayed, put on antibiotics in case of infection, we have tried 3 different litter boxes, various litters, keeping them cleaned,etc. and nothing seems to work. It seems to be only 1 of the 3 cats and she may go a few days and do okay but then we find or smell a surprise. Our vet has no clue and I've read and tried various things I've found on-line.
Is there a chance the other cat(s) aren't letting her use the litter box? sm
That is a problem in my multicat household. Some of them will chase the cat who is eliminating in the wrong place so she can't use the box. They'll even hide in the area of the box and pounce on her when she tries to relieve herself. You can try putting boxes in different spots or different floors of the home. Good luck.
they all have their own boxes plus
she is in another part of the house with her own food and water separate from the others to make sure everyone gets enough of everything. she spends the majority of the day outside, comes in for a snack and straight back to the door to go out again. over night she has her own bedroom so that there isn't any trouble over night.
Hi PP - there are still 2 boxes left....sm
wanna come visit and have some truffles? *lolol* Congrats to your DAUGHTER!!!! Smart cookie she is!!
My daughter has a beau for 6 years now and they are engaged and very serious. It's MOM (me) who questions *if it isn't broken, don't fix it* - *LOL* - but I'm 200 percent behind them and am very supportive.....I just FEAR marriage (after one very_long bad experience) and yet I try not to put that on her. *grin*
Well you and I are about 15 miles apart....just a hop, skip, and a jump for you, eh? *HAHAHAHAHA*
Be well, sugar!!! 
The three boxes are supposed to
look like that. That is normal. You do not have to X and close them. What are you trying to change on your monitor?
Over the door lock boxes
I pick up work from a local family practice and our schedules conflict a lot of times. It is hard to be there exactly when the doctor finishes his dictation and they forget to give me a 30-minute warning since I am about 30 minutes away. Sometimes I have to make a trip every day to fit his schedule. Does anyone know where I can buy an over the door lock box (like what Lab Corp uses to leave blood work, etc.)? I would love for him to leave the transcription tapes, etc., in the box and I pick up and drop off on my schedule so I can get to the work faster and also pick up after office hours. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
At my apartment complex, our post boxes are
in a large mail kiosk and I can sort my mail right there, open everything and throw away all trash before ever getting back in my car or walking back to my apartment. Anything unnecessary never makes it to (1) my purse (used to be a bad habit of mine), (2) my car (used to be another bad habit of mine), or (3) my apartment. It really is amazing how much paper is wasted on advertisements that I'm not even interested in, envelopes, etc.
It can be very stressful to have all that stuff staring at you on the desk, demanding more of your time.
Some boxes, like Mrs. Smith's pies, say distributed by
Schwann company in So. Carolina, but they are all made in Mexico (my cousin is long distance truck driver, sees them transferring the boxes from 1 truck to another.) Fig Newtons made in Mexico. Big problem with the border guards from US because their uniforms and ID badges made in Mexico and many of them are stolen or sold in Mexico which allows access of illegals into US. Nothing is made in US anymore.
In Word I can't see my field boxes anymore that I use F11 to skip around to. Does anyone know ho
x
Might be meaning the 3 boxes left upper corner??
the 3 little square boxed in the right hand corner, see them. The middle one makes a bigger screen. Unclick it and it goes back to regular size. This this what you meant.
I use Word 2003 and I have text boxes I jump to using the F11 key. I have no idea what I did, but
using the F11 key, but I want to see the boxes where I enter the text.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
TIA
Check your boxes and stuff for some sort of customer service...
I think you got a bad one. Return.
the USPS supplies boxes and supplies free of charge..but you have to "order" it sm
by phone. I'll see if I can find it. What is sent to soldiers is what is allowed by military protocol..beef jerky would not be allowed in a country that considers beef sacred. They (military) strongly enforce being considerate of the countrys culture. within those guidelines, send anything..if the recipient does not want it..it goes on a public area and free for all to share..they love doing it too.
