47. Jane and I...

...have both been changing the litter. I live right across the hall from Mary's apartment so the smell will seep right into the hallway if they are not changed. Mary will occasionally fall behind on changing the litter when she is home and I can always tell when this has happened. The cats are definitely being fed and their litter changed by both Jane and me. Jane checks in in the morning and I check in in the evening when I get home from work. I just don't want to be involved much longer because this was supposed to be Jane's responsibility this time around.
