So, I thought maybe I could outsmart those messy kittens. I have already set up the bathroom: I bought a plastic shower curtain at the dollar store and cut it in half and layered it between sheets from the shelter. Plus I am putting the food dish on a towel. I do more laundry, but that is easier than cleaning the floor every other day.
However, they were still making a mess with the food bowl. So I got a medium metal no flip bowl from the shelter. Yep - that backfired. OK - they get less on the floor. But, they are still standing in it. In fact, I looked the other day and Blackberry is standing with his back feet on one edge, his front feet IN the dish on the other side and eating that way. Not quite what I had in mind.
I finally broke down and gave him a bath the other day to clean his face - I tried those pet wipes - don't bother - it doesn't work. He howled like he was being tortured.....nothing more pitiful than a wet kitten begging to be set free. :) Of course, he was just as messy as soon as I fed them again.
