Use the Litterbox Kitty

A house fire was sparked as a families pet kittens were using the fax machine as their litterbox. They relieved themselves on it so much, it sparked, and started a fire. The fire destroyed a large portion of the kitchen and living room. Luckily the kitties ran to safety.

The writer of the article suggests making sure your pets know where to go to the bathroom. They want people to sit down, and talk to their pet doggies and kitties. Tell them when they have to tinkle to do it in the litterbox or outside, and not to pee on electrical equipment. We all know pets are great at listening to a lecture.

Of course since my cat is deaf, I have to hire someone to use sign language to speak to her. Never thought pet ownership would be that expensive.
