Cocoa answers the question of the big chair with a hole in it.


“Dear Cocoa,

Perhaps I am being, well, silly, but I have seen my pets doing something that totally baffles me and my curiosity has finally gotten the best of me.  Can you tell me why my pets sit on that giant seat with a hole in it?  I hear strange sounds and can smell waste, but, really?

“Dear Wondering,

It is as you suspect, your pets are using the big chair with a hole to deposit and bury their waste.  For many years I tried to teach them to go in the waste box like we do; however, they seem to have a problem stooping over the box (and they don't really fit inside the covered boxes at all).  Additionally, they never seem to know how to bury the offending odor .  I know they are aware of the use of the waste box because they clean it for us regularly.  However, since the large chair does at least bury the odor (for the most part) I have given up and allow them their waste choice.  Hope this helps you better understand your pets and their habits.
