The real “eew” is when they clean it up themselves.

I’ll have to second the crate thing for Casey…my yellow lab has NEVER peed in the crate and has figured things out admirably.

\*\*lieu[/] that’s gross, but what I find fun is that I have to clean out the litter box less now that I have a dog…also don’t find any hairballs either…hmm, wonder where they’re going.

In respose to the OP, I agree, I can’t figure out how my girl holds it so long…::shrugs shoulders::

I would be very leery of this if you use any sort of clay-based or clumping type cat litter. [Mr. Mackey]Intestinal blockages are bad, mmmkay?[/Mr. Mackey]  
If you use a paper-based or corncob litter then, well, carry on.

Peace,
