Well, just outside of the box onto the litter catch mat...
Diva's sometimes got a problem with keeping her whole arse inside the box. Thankfully both boxes have litter catch mats to catch what doesn't get in the box.
Twice today there's been piss on the mat and hardly any clumped litter in the box. I didn't catch her using the box either time, so I don't know if that's the case, or if she didn't make it in there in time, or if she's just plain rejecting the box (which is shoveled clean, but it's been awhile since the box has been fully gutted). She used it fine yesterday, and she had more fluids in her yesterday than she's had today.
Of course we didn't get puppy pads down last night to protect the carpet, thinking all was well, so pee got on the carpet the first time, but only a little. The second time I thought "Hey, I'll just pick up the mat and pour the pee into the box" and spilled a bunch just over the edge of the puppy pad I'd put down. Figures, right? Lesson learned, important safety tip--thanks Egon!
Oh wells. I had a feeling this would happen. At least her urine is diluted so heavily right now it's like water. I know she can smell where she went, though, so I'll be spraying with nature's miracle liberally. Ugh. I used to be really squicked out by the cat's bodily fluids and their clean-up. Now I give two shits about it. Got some on me? Oh well, guess I should wash up vs. "!(#R)#@)# EEEEP! Cat goo!" freakout.
This is going to be an interesting adventure...
