Does the Pope Shit in the Woods?

I don't know if the Pope defecates in the woods (probably not with his bad back), but my kittens have taken to shitting in the potted palms of my new, and ever-patient, housemates.

They have a clean litter box and they have used it in the past, so they know what the deal is. I think they are so used to being outdoor cats, both in Samoa and in Sedona that being snowbound has caused them to seek out any patch of soil and befoul it. Of course, it stinks and it's disgusting, and I'm embarrassed because Lilla and Roy have already accomodated me and my charges excessively.

What can I do about this?

Try covering the soil in the plants with tin foil. Then they don't feel the soil and I've NEVER met a cat that would pee on tin foil.

You could also confine them to your room with their litter box when no one is home, and invest in a large squirt bottle.

HI,
Get some screen material - black, not silver,and cut out a circle that will cover the dirt..with a slice to the center with a small openeing that will just accomodate the base of the plant..
Good Lock..and let me know if this works of if anyone else has come up with a suggestion that works.
