Litter Box Cleanings

The litter boxes should be dumped and totally and fully cleaned the first seven days of the month, alternating AM shifts and PM shifts per month. April was done by the PM shifts, May will be the AM shifts, and June will be the PM shifts again. Be sure to dump and clean them and sign the signature sheet on the med door after completing. This is very important!

Monday – PM – 2 and a half cups of food with lysine. No pee blankets or spots. Put a new bag of food in the container. All kitties got pets and treats. Had to hold Cannoli for a bit because she kept whining to be held. Sickle annoyed Gilly for a moment but stopped when I fussed at him. KC came out for only a short time when treats were being given.

Monday AM – Chores done. Food and water were good. No soiled blankets or spots on cabinets or floor. Cannoli enjoyed playing in the tunnels and running around quite a bit. KC came out of iso for a couple of minutes and tried to rub heads with Sugarplum. He got spooked by the broom so was kind of shy for the rest of shift. Everyone enjoyed a treat.

No messes when I first got here, but Cannoli was standing to pee in a litter box and went over the side. King Cake came out a little but was very nervous. Everyone got a treat. Food bowls very full still.

No messes. Food bowls still full. Gave everyone a churru. Let King Cake out of iso. He did well, still timid but he explored a good bit. I think he really wants a cat friend, he tried rubbing heads with Creamsicle and Sugarplum but they weren’t into it. He can come out during shift now, but put him back up when you leave.

These terrible kitties just lounge around, contributing nothing, yet still increasing entropy.

King Cake meowed at the door the whole time. Added litter to his box and Temptations to his face.

Creams is becoming quite the bully, but he did vomit immediately after eating the wet food, so I guess cat-karma exists.

Normal litter boxes. No pee blankets but there was pee on the counter, on the floor under the counter and on the floor between the water bucket and cat tree. Gilly ate his wet food. And everyone shared a Churo. King Cake got his very own Churro which he loved. He’s very sweet; just have to move slow and easy with him. But I think he’ll warm up well with a little time. Creamy stalked Cannoli. Had to squirt him with the water bottle. Other a good shift. Gilly didn’t sound as congested today.

Hi everyone! Kitties got wet food treat to eat while I cleaned up a bit. Floors swept and mopped, lysine, added food. In ISO, King is very sweet but you have to move slowly to approach. Interested in coming out to see what’s happening. Also, treats given after chores cuz they’re rotten. No pee blankets or messes. I also had to change King’s water bowl. He’s a swimmer.

Kitties are bad fat kitties. Had to add 4 cups off food and a lysine. King Cake stared at me, meowing at the door all shift. They all got wet food and scritches, Sugarplum and Cannoli were extra demanding. King Cake’s water was very dirty, like he washed his paws in it. I think I might still be here when the PM shift comes if Sugarplum doesn’t get off my lap.

Monday PM – no messes in the room today, not even litter outside the boxes. Food was almost empty. Added 4.5c and lysine. KC’s litter box was very full. He’s sweet, and loved his churru. Other kitties were all good, no fighting. Cannoli was screaming for attention the entire time as always. Gilly also wanted attention from his perch and Billie wound her way through my legs much of the shift. Treats and pets for all.

Monday AM – Chores done. Food and water were fine. No real messes except for a bit of scattered litter. KC came out of cat tree and enjoyed some pets and a treat. All kitties got a treat. Creamsicle got in Gilligan’s space so there was a little standoff but didn’t last.

New cat! His name is King Cake. He’s a DSH brown tabby with white. He’s very shy, and will take a bit to warm up. But he’s sweet. He CANNOT come out of iso yet. Remember to lock the iso door when you leave the shelter so the other cats don’t open the door.

Some litter thrown out of the boxes. No other messes. Food bowls full. Everyone got some Chruru’s. Everyone happy.

Tuesday PM

Water changed, litter scooped, and 3 cups of food added. Cannoli sprayed the wall in iso so I removed the blanket on the counter (where she sprayed). Creamsicle fell from a shelf while attempting to jump down and did not land on his feet. It was a hard fall, but he seemed totally unphased, so I think he’s okay. Just keep an eye on him for limping or anything weird. Changed lots of pee blankets. Everyone got catnip and treats.

These bad kitties. Pee in the sink, on the counter, and on the walls. Creamer stalking and being mean to Cannoli. Half the food from yesterday turned into poop, and they still demanded more.

No messes. Lite litter boxes. Except for Gilly and Creamsicle, everyone else wanted attention. Billie got a little overstimulated and started hissing when touched, but she still wanted to rub around my legs. So I just stood still and let her, lol. Cannoli screamed and got into the office every chance she could. Everyone got some treats!

All kitties seemed good. Chores completed and added 5 scoops of food with the lysine. Refreshed the water bowls. Gave the cats churro and hard treats. Peppermint and sugar plum kept trying to take the calico cats (cannoli?) treats and there was some hissing but everyone calmed down after I sprayed the blankets with catnip spray. Creamsicle keeps trying to drink from the sink.

Absolutely terrible kitties. Nearly every blanket, food bowl, and litter box was in disarray. All the kitties lied about who is to blame, but they did all swarm me when I arrived, so it was hard to chastise them to the extent they deserved.

They got wet food, dry food and lysine added, cuddled, and feather-toyed.

Kitties have thawed slightly but remain frigid and bad. Room cleaned, dry and wet and Temptations food distributed. Creamer is being mean and stalking Billie, so I had to give him a talking to. Sugarplum doesn’t seem to be litter-boxing as often, so that’s good. But they all still poop too much. I can come do tonight’s shift too if the roads haven’t thawed enough.

Kittiescicles are still bad kitties. Food scattered. Pee on walls and cabinets. Litter spilled. None seemed particularly grateful that I braved the storm to see them. Added 5 scoops of dry food, gave them wet food and Temptations.

Sugarplum used the litterbox several times while I was here, and Gilly quickly vomited the wet food he consumed.

Kitty’s were so happy to see us! Did all of the chores- swept, mopped, clean litter boxes, etc. Gave them all treats! Peppermint yanked the treats out of my hand lol. Gabby didn’t like taking her meds. On The first attempt, the pill fell into one of the litter boxes. Second attempt, she spat it out. Got it on the third attempt. Tried to give her treats after that but she didn’t want it at first, but warmed up after a second. Added 5 scoops of food and lysine.
