Today, I discovered that my cat will not use a litter box if it has a lid. How did I discover this? The two weeks of crystallized cat pee coating the floor under my 19th century grand piano. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I learned why my bathroom has a horrible, seemingly irremovable stench. My cat doesn't squat to pee like a normal cat. She stands up, peeing over the side of the litter tray all over the wall and floor, which are now a permanent yellow tinge. FML
Today, I went to clean my cat's litter box, not realizing she was in it. As I lifted the top half of the litter box up, she sprayed me with piss. FML
Today, I discovered that my cat recently had explosive diarrhea, and couldn't make it to the litterbox in time. I discovered this when I stepped in the very, very fresh poop with my bare feet. FML
Today, my cat peed on my stove. There’s multiple clean litter-boxes that he could have used instead. FML
Today, my cat pooped on the floor. After cleaning it up, I’m fairly certain it was not my cat but instead my roommate, who I also suspect is pooping in the litter box. FML
Today, my roommate finally cleaned her cat's very full litter box. I later found our only good spatula crusted with kitty feces, which she'd left on the kitchen counter for me to find. FML
Today, I learned that if I don't clean out the litter box everyday, my cat will resort to shitting in the laundry basket. FML
Today, I bought my cats two new litter boxes in hopes that they would use them. They still prefer to pee on the clothes in my closet. FML
Today, my mom read online you could train cats to relieve themselves in the toilet. Without reading any further, she took away the litter tray. My house reeks of cat piss and shit, and she still refuses to give the cat its litter tray back, insisting it'll work eventually. FML
Today, I discovered why there was such a horrible stench in my bedroom. My cat had a secret stash of shit under my dresser. Along with the carcass of a rat. FML

Holy crap. It took you 2 weeks to figure out the litter box wasn't being peed in? Don't you clean it every day??

Not only did he fail to clean the litter box, he never once looked at the floor beneath his piano for an entire two weeks. Just how much floor do you have that you wouldn't notice frequent pools of liquid?

It’s a very large room and I don’t have a sense of smell. Also I have more than one cat and the litter box is self scooping.

Litterbox with a lid??

It’s covered, like a mini litter house.

somehow I can't feel sorry for you. how did you not notice when you checked the box to scoop? also is your house that big that you didn't even get close to that area? and how did you not even SMELL it?!?!?! sorry but you're a bad kitty momma.

If you can see the actual crystals your cat needs a freaking vet. Their bladder is probably building larger stones and it's way cheaper catching it early than dealing with it once catto is blocked. $100-ish vs $1,000+. Blockages are fatal without intervention and excruciating. Your cat WILL hide the pain so don't tell yourself "well he's acting fine" because cats always "act fine" when they're not. If he doesn't go back to the litter box without the lid that's another sign there's something wrong with his health. But it's worth it to take him for his yearly and just get a urinalysis to play it safe.

You know cat pee normally crystallizes after it dries out right?
