Every time I EAT, it's like it's a MANDATE to my cat to user her BOX.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

I get a couple of mouthfuls of food into me and it's "skritch skritch skritch, skritch skritch skritch..."

And I know she needs to use her box and I am grateful that she does, but I KNOW she times it this way. I KNOW.

And when I set aside my food and go over to clean the box, she rips into her scratching post. A victory lap?

I THINK SO.
