Coco and Blue: Best Friends and a DIY Reusable Garden Litter Tray

in Caturday6 months ago (edited)

Knowing that introducing a new kitten is challenging, I was worried that Coco would struggle. Amazingly, after only 5 days, they got on really well, and we're so proud of how Coco behaved beautifully.

After a few hisses and running away, they became best mates.

They bonded beautifully in the garden, so I let them play often while I worked there.

I love digging soil, and I don't like the thought of touching cats poop.

To solve that issue, I made a reusable litter tray while my kitties ran around the garden.

First, I gathered materials to make it.

Vegetable crate
Porous lining
Sand
Garter
Scissors

I measured the lining to cover the whole crate and cut the piece.

I put the lining in place.

I secure it with the garter.

As the sand is heavy, I first locate a place in the garden where the sun shines and is a little private, then place the crate.

Then, I added the sand to the lined crate.

Blue is checking their new outdoor toilet.

And also Coco.

All I need to do is scoop out the solids regularly and rinse the sand with soapy water and disinfectant every few days. alow the sand to dry before reusing.

This way, I will be a happy bunny digging my free-poop soil. Hehe :)

Plus, it’s a fantastic way to keep your garden clean while providing a natural environment for the cats.

It was a good decision to have another kitty. We were entertained, and Coco was so happy to have a companion
to play with.

Chasing around.

Play fight.

Partners in crime. :)


Blue is such a cutie with a typical ragdoll temperament.

And Blue settles in really well.

Coco is very contented and happy.

Happy Caturday Everyone!

They are such a lovely pair! It's generally quite easy to introduce kittens. Adult cats are another story!

I suppose, as Coco is only 12 months old, she is still a bit of a kitten and was able to accept Blue really well. We had a Bengal named Penny when we had Coco as a new kitten with the purpose of giving her a little kitty companion, but Penny hated Coco, and Penny could have killed her a few times as she attacked Coco every time, so we had to move her to a close relative for safety. I was confident that Blue and Coco would get on. Thank you; yes they are a lovely pair. 😊

Surely you love black cats.😊

Haha, yes I think because they are ace, both black but with beautiful differences.

It's good that you can easily notice your cat at night. 😁

Haha, you mean they can't notice my cat at night? They will be safe in the dark.😊

Yeah, you're cats are safe in the dark, only the owner is not because you can unintentionally disturb them because you cannot see them. 😁
