There is a centipede residing in one of our litter boxes (thankfully one that sees little use). It has been there for a couple of days so far. Is there a reason it might be drawn to our cat litter and not our ant infestation? :ant::skull: [1000009408]

The walls of the litter box are probably slick. It may be stuck in there after incautiously exploring. I get these stuck in my bathtub and sinks that way.

needs a centipede ladder. A twig hooked over the edge would be fine.

Loved the thread title, but it raised a rather different expectation than the ensuing content :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:. Arthropods in general tend to have difficulty with smooth-sided human artifacts such as sinks and bathtubs.
