Default Beatrice went to sleep in a litterbox

I found her in one of the litterboxes, asleep, in the meatloaf pose. None of
my owners has ever done that before.

What does it mean??? Is it some sort of message I am supposed to decipher?

Hmm. It can mean she is having potty trouble or some other trouble. If
it were me, I'd want a blood test, but that is me. She is really young,
so I can't imagine it's renal failure or some of the other things Ive
heard about when they do this. Still, watch her and see if she is doing
anything else odd.

Perhaps she has a tummy ache. Has she eaten anything strange?
If she isn't better by morning, perhaps you should take her to TED. Best

She has not been acting sick in any way. A few minutes after I saw her
laying in the box, I opened some canned food in the kitchen and she came
running, and ate heartily.

I had just finished setting up a new litterbox... Maybe she mistook it for a
bed?

Probably being new had something to do with it...maybe she was staking
her claim on it :-)
At the shelter, I have noticed that often the cats who are ill will
sleep in their litterbox. Bea doesn't sound sick though.

When I first saw Rusty, he was under an upturned litter box. Almost didn't
seen him,
and he won't have came to live with me.
Last time Rusty boarded at the vet, I was told he played in his litter box.
But he never did that at home.

Maybe she'd get a better idea of its purpose if you sprinkled a little
used litter from another box into it?

That was done before she ever saw the box.

Oh. Guess she's just being weird, then. Kitty's perogative.

I'd second this. Sometimes cats are just weird, as we all know
grin. But my beloved Mojo (RB) did this a number of times, and
shortly thereafter we discovered a urinary blockage which he did not
survive. It could just be a quirk, could be it felt warm and
comfortable in there, but it's always good to get odd behavior checked
out just in case.
