Dear Queenie,
Some friends of ours keep their cats’ litter box in the bathroom next to the toilet. Sometimes when we have to use the toilet the litter box is not clean and smells awful.
Queenie, should we say something to them about it?—Offended friend
Dear Friend,
Yes. Tell them you love to visit them, but it makes you uncomfortable to see (and smell) the litter box next to the toilet, and you do not want to offend them but you thought they would want to know.
