Our most recently inducted family members Julian and Simon, being feline, desired a place to discretely excrete. But our dogs wanted none of that! Thinking fast, I recollected the experiences of our good friends and “cat people”, brother and sister Ken Etterman and Kimberly Welch. Both have had DECADES of feline\/canine interaction experience in a full house environment, leading them to the same conclusion:<\/p>\n

THE DOGPROOFED CAT LITTERBOX!<\/b><\/center>
\nHopefully all this experience can be leveraged for the masses! So without further ado, the DOGPROOFED CAT LITTERBOX HOWTO:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\n<\/center>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\nStep 5: Slip the loop of the string around the doorknob, and adjust the slipnot so that your cat(s), but not your dog(s), can fit through the door, as such:\n<\/td>\n\n
