Yeah my dog had a habit of eating her own sh!t. The vet gave me this to sprinkle on her food. According to the package it "imparts a forbidding taste to excretement". You would think that sh!t would naturally have a forbidding taste. :confused: Maybe you could sprinkle some on the cat food.

I'm trying to come up with a well engineered solution. Barriers won't cut it. This dog will chew/claw her way through anything. It took her two weeks to destroy a brand new steel mesh crate, at which point I gave up on crate training. Nothing short of a concrete bunker could contain her, and even that I'm not so sure about. It's like living with the Tasmanian Devil.

I'm thinking that elevation is the key. Perhaps something suspended from the ceiling, with one of those Kitty Habitrail tunnel things leading to it. The problem is that if it winds up being too much work for the cat, she won't bother.

Unfortunately, I also envision those elaborate squirrel-defeating bird feeders that never seem to work.

Outsmarting an animal that only thinks about one thing is harder than it sounds.

I dunno, we have three and I've never had that problem. I think the mistake is to have a dog and a cat. ;)

The worst that I've caught our dogs doing is eating bacon, getting into the trash or eating grass (getting into the trash is worst, but it basically amounts to picking up tissues and dental floss, one of the dogs just loves cinnamon dental floss).

Yes, but cats don't enjoy it. :p

Are you sure? My cat always smiles after cleaning her ass. :confused:
Cats smile and grimace in a very similar manner. :p

Actually I think they smile -- if they smile -- because their ass no longer itches.
