Or as a young friend of mine called it "Kitty-roca"! I think she named it after a famous candy from Seattle, Almond Roca, as we lived in WA state at the time. It seemed appropriate as my Lab mix had a thing for it, lol. We had to hide my cat's box in a closet with the door carefully blocked so only he could get through, good times.
I bought a cat tray with a lid; forever puppy managed to get her muzzle in to snack. Finally, I bought a 1930's bar cabinet, took off the back, and placed it just far enough from the wall for the cats to get in. Like a lot of old furniture, it was on casters, so easy for me to move, but not the puppy. Of course, my puppy was only 50-odd pounds, not a shepherd. Benefit was that it had doors to open in the front to make clean out easier. Critters!
BIL and SIL put a cat sized pet door into the door of the kitty litter closet to keep their lab and shepherd out of the snack dispenser box. so far, we've been lucky. our rescue mutt who loves bounding around the mountains does not like going down the basement stairs. she will snatch up she finds on walks outside, but the stairs disturb her too much. 2 or 3 steps are ok, but a long descent is a no-go.

ReplyDeleteWe used to have a St. Bernard who just *loved* to snack out of the cat box, and then come up and bark in your face. Barf City!
ReplyDeleteThe cats are shocked - shocked! that they now have to squeeze under a gate to get to their food and their litter boxes.
