First off I used yesterdays news with a plastic mesh on top. I find that the urine sticks to the plastic so I wash it off when I change the litter, dry it off as best I can and put it back on top of the new litter.
Well, I changed the litter yesterday and rinsed off the mesh and put it back on the litter and put the litter pan back in the cage. Wash used it almost as soon as I set it down and took a little piddle. He then jumped off the litter tray and licked at the plastic mesh where he had just peed. :shock:I thought maybe there was some water left on it and he was thirsty so I checked his water dish in case he had knocked it over while I wasn't looking or had taken a binge drink. It was half full, so he had obviously had enough to drink. I kept watching him all day and he was drinking his normal amount of water.
Can anyone think of any reason why he did this? It's kind of weird and something he has never done before. I'm baffled...
