Cocoa addresses the question that affects every cat throughout the world-what do pets do with the stuff they take out of the potty box?

 “Dear Cocoa,

I know you have probably answered this one a thousand times, but I can’t remember what you said, so here I go asking again: Why are pets constantly taking the waste stuff out of my potty box and bagging it up?  I mean, I like my potty box clean and all, but I thought it should be tossed out the window or something, but they actually KEEP it!  Why?

“Dear Really Confused,



They are allowing it to
ferment once they
remove it-and then they
reuse it.

I have indeed answered this one before, however I fear I may have been wrong in some part of that answer.  I once believed that pets disposed of the waste as part of their idolization of us as their owners; however, I now find that some pets, not all mind you, but some have actually begun to store the waste in large cans.  These cans have covers and seem to be extremely well sealed.  What happens to the waste after they have let it ferment in the cans?  Well, from what I have learned from my own pets, they actually, now don’t panic, it’s not your fault, they use it to line the large can outside-I believe for insulation purposes. 

Hope this clears up any confusion you have.  Don’t worry, your pets are doing what all pets are doing; idolizing you as their owners!
