Pepper's bad habit

I look at Pepper digging in the litter tray,
and now it's my turn to faint

He dig and dig and dig til
there is no litter in that spot,
and he continues to dig and dig
and dig and dig and dig and dig

As if he wanted to dig a hole
in the base of the litter tray

Then once in a while
he makes a digging action
with his paw in the air

We wonder what he was trying to dig

Bad habits always carries through from young

He keeps peeing on empty ground
(without the litter to absorb the urine)
and you see why the urine always flows to his feet
and we have to take him to the sink to wash his feet
