#lol i actually adore jackson galaxy and the whole rockabilly cat whisperer thing he has going on

[queen-mabs-revenge]

so it's too soon to say really, but after getting a, um, solid present left on my hallway mat i've employed the jackson galaxy technique of litter box detective and.... it seems to have made a difference?

the idea is to take into consideration all the places where improper elimination is taking place and trying to string together a narrative. so:

bed

bathroom sink

mat in front of the litter box

mat in entrance hall (and one time a slipper that was there but I'm grouping that together

so if it were just the bed I'd put it down to scent marking as obv that would be where my scent most strongly outweighs hers (i'm 98% sure it's just taddarita who's the culprit here so I feel confident using the singular). but the other locations? for me the commonality is that they're open spaces as opposed to the covered litter boxes I'm using.

so, one box has its top removed now and..... it's been two days and there's been a few wees in the sink but nothing anywhere else so far? and like i can see the appeal of the sink from her point of view (open, high up, pee just goes away without having to bury it).

still not confident enough to let them into the bedroom unaccompanied, but maybe we're on to something 🤔
