While maintaining separate facilities for each cat avoids a wealth of problems, it does create a few. However, after the conversation about one of these issues quickly gets out of paw, the girls seem to end up united with a new plan.
EM: Ellie Mae Kat [black, gorgeously floofy lady cat]
L: Latte [tortie/tabby lady cat aka "Kitten"]
MK: Momma Kat [Latte and Ellie's human Momma, named Kat]
EM: Momma! Latte is funking up my litter box!
L: Hey! You're the one that comes out to use my litter box when you have to poop!
EM: EXACTLY! My litter box can't be funked up! Don't poop where you live!
MK: Ummm ...
L: I don't funk up where I live. I funk up where YOU live.
EM: Can't we put a sign next to my litter box that says, "Black cats only!"
MK: Ellie, Latte can't read.
L: HEY!
{Pause}
L: Oh. Yeah.
EM: So I could put up a sign that says, "HippopotaLottaLatte Crossing?" Or "Torties are dumb," and she wouldn't know?
MK: Ellie, you can't make a sign because YOU can't spell.
EM: But you could make them for me, right?
L: Then I'm going to put up a sign that says ... umm ... hmmm ...
MK: We are NOT putting up any signs.
EM: Can we do a voice-activated warning on my litter box? Like when someone steps in my litter box, the warning says, "This litter box is for black cats only. Trespassers will be shot."
MK: Okay, first problem ... have you ever seen Latte listen to me when I tell her anything?
EM: Maybe it can be in the Treat Man's voice?
L: Don't be ridiculous. I only listen to him until he turns around and isn't looking anymore.
MK: And second problem ... who will shoot Latte? And with what?
EM: Isn't Bear's bazooka around here somewhere?
L: We have a bazooka and NO ONE TOLD ME?!? Forget hiding! I'd blast anyone strange that comes through the door!
MK: I thought you didn't hide ...
L: Ermm ....
EM: {whispering} Pretend you don't speak English!
L: Why? That's stupid! We were JUST speaking in English!
EM: That's what Bear did. And he got a bazooka.
L: Where is it?! I've hidden in every spot in this house!
MK: Hidden?
L: Investigated! Very important kitten stuff.
MK: No one needs a bazooka.
L: But you're not saying we don't have a bazooka. And you didn't say that we can't WANT a bazooka. Imagine the next time the vacuum comes out. BOOM! The next time Ellie uses my litter box. BOOM!
EM: Uh oh.
MK: Ellie, you started this. You brought up trespassers being shot. And Latte, you'd blow up the litter box. Or the kitchen. No shooting anyone in any litter box.
L: So we could shoot each other outside of the litter box?
MK: No. No shooting anyone, period.
EM: Bear also had a chicken cannon.
MK: No shooting anyone.
EM: Technically, you FIRE a cannon, right?
MK: No projectiles!
L: Asking for a friend ... do you use a chicken cannon to fire a chicken out of a cannon or to fire a cannon to hit a chicken?
EM: Erm ... I don't know? Momma?
MK: That's it. I'm OUT of this conversation.
L: Ellie, I could fire you out of a cannon!
EM: I'm not a chicken!
L: You're about the same size as a chicken.
EM: Hmmm. That could be fun.

Girls??? Are you BOTH feeling better!? Ellie Mae, ain't nobuddy gone funk your box. Latte, ain't nobuddy gonna point that Bear Bazooka at you. All is calm!
ReplyDeleteNot if I find the bazooka before Ellie! ~Latte
DeleteI'm guessing GBS's long-thought-lost book, Arms and the Cat, could be happening here. Certainly where ever Bear hid his stash needs to remain a closely guarded secret. Maybe new and extra litter trays are called for, or will that just cause more issues I wonder....
ReplyDeleteERin
Latte always starts it. ~Ellie Mae
DeleteLove the banter. Hope the litter box quandary gets resolved. Sounds like there could be some 'creative' solutions with lots of shooting which might not be the best way to square this away.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, we'll never get our rental deposit back anyway thanks to Bear!
DeleteLove all the banter & goings on but surely there is a way to solve this issue without any projectiles being fired and not blowing up the Kitchen how about putting in a third litter box maybe that would solve the issue
ReplyDeleteOne poop box. I like it. It would have to be on neutral ground, though!
DeleteLitter Wars sounds pretty tenses LOL! I can't imagine only having two litter boxes!
ReplyDeleteWe're not sure we want to know how many you have at your house!
DeleteBoth cat girls must be feeling fine, to be trading fusses and planning elaborate battle strategies like that!

aka (A Creative Harbor)
Thank you!
DeleteHello my lovely feline ladies...Boxes R U...love the photos and GREAT poses
ReplyDeleteHugs Cecilia
I guess that's what happens when your Mom follows you around with a camera ...
DeleteI guess your momma needs to buy a couple more boxes so you will each have one for pee and one for poop. :)
ReplyDeleteAs long as my litter box for poop is in Ellie's room, I'm down with this! ~Latte
DeleteMomma sure has her hands full with you two! MOL. Love Latte on the pizza box!
ReplyDeleteThere's just something about torties and pizza boxes ...
DeleteYou two crack us up, Ellie and Latte! But we hear ya ... funking up litter boxes is serious stuff.
ReplyDeleteNo kidding! Bear had a whole theory of poopetiquette!
DeleteYou are more entertaining than any family I know!
ReplyDeleteHaha! The humans can't take the credit for that!
DeleteI hope you can peacefully sort out your litter box wars or I foresee WW III !
ReplyDeleteI suppose wars have been fought over less!
DeleteIt's times like this that I'm glad I don't have to share my litterbox. ~Murphy
ReplyDeleteNo kidding! ~Latte
DeleteLots of litter box drama going on over there!!
ReplyDeleteJust between us, it's totally Ellie's fault. ~Latte
DeleteUh oh, it looks like Litter Boxes War is going to start ! Purrs
ReplyDeleteIt should go in the books that Ellie started it! ~Latte
DeleteAmarula: "torties are dumb"!?! How do you stand it Latte? I think you need to get hold of that bazooka!
ReplyDeleteShe can't help it. She's dumb. If you have a bazooka, though, let's talk ... ~Latte
DeletePeace at the litterboxes is so important. :D Best wishes to you and yours.
ReplyDeleteIt's serious business!
