One of my main motivators for building the catio is that Antares likes the occasional dirt bath. Before he had access to the dirt on the concrete on the catio, he used to roll in his litter box, which just made me feel like a bad cat owner. Now we’re both happy.
I love that its litter or catio. Now that’s one way to modify his owner’s behavior! Ha!
I can’t imagine wanting to roll around in either dirt OR cat litter, especially if my method of cleaning was licking myself. To each kitty his own, I suppose. I’m glad you’re both much happier!
