Never cared for cats. However, we just got a new dog from the SPCA two weeks ago. Had to leave her in the utility room the other day for all day, with napkins, toilet paper, and paper towels all stored within her reach. She didn't touch them. Good dog!!! And she sleeps on her bed at the foot of my daughter's bed.
I have a smart (but demanding) Jack Russell.
If I could get the dog to pee in a litter box - I'd get another one!
I travel tooooo much for a dog. Cat hardly notices I'm gone.
