Maybe I'm being serious and joking at the same time.

I use sandwich bags as makeshift gloves/ pooper scoopers, and put them straight into the bin outside. The thing that's not working for me is having to do it damn near every time he uses the tray. I think once every 48 hours is reasonable for a little chap in a big tray. I think I'll go back to non-clumping. Except the wee settles with that, making a complete scrub out once a week necessary. What to do?

If only. The poop is small and hard and doesn't smell, it's the wee that slays me.

I have a design idea for an improved litter box. I'm not telling though, I may want to patent it some day. Waiting for my dad to jump on board!

Pico and ME · 11-14-2008, 03:52 PM

How 'bout trying baking soda?

Sundae · 11-14-2008, 04:01 PM

Interesting and worth a try. But note, she's still scooping twice a day. Maybe I just have to resign myself to that.

If I move home (fingers crossed) it won't be in my bedroom anyway, so at least once a day will be more tolerable.

Your Dad jumps on the board, and the cat poop on the other end, flies off into oblivion? Will that be an additional subscription fee for people buying your invention? It would seem to limit your market to local people.

Keeping the kitty litter deep helps, too. I scoop into a couple sheets of newspaper and roll it up, burrito style, the put it in the little waste basket. The newspaper absorbs a bit of the moisture so there is no odor. Or very little.

It seems the obvious solution is to get rid of the cat.

If you feed them higher quality food or one with a higher protien content they need less to eat and poop less too.

Or just stop feeding it so it stops eliminating waste.

I was just shown a place for 850.00 a month, without a fridge or stove in it, and he wouldn't move the price down to 750.00. It's a damned studio apartment....Without the obvious neccessities. Who rents an apartment and comes with their fridge,stove, countertop and cabinets? Oh, no washer/dryer but wifi. So I can be dirty and not be able to make food, but have internet, so it's all ok.....Hey at least he would allow my doggy. Not many places like that. Maybe I could just eat dog food........He lives in France, so he came here to buy a cheap house, and doesn't know 850 is too much to pay for an efficiency with no fridge, no stove, no cabinets, but one sink. Hey it has a shower tho'. Wow. Is that a shower? Coool. It's a shower, and a toilet.

He likes the idea of having me as a tenant because I'm single. That pisses me off, but he likes it.

The weather forecast for today is 31 degrees, but it's not even 10am and it's already 29. I think we're in for a stinker. I hear the aircon calling me and my hot and tired baby carrying body.

Isn't that the idea? To eliminate the waste? Or stop creating waste? Or eliminate the eliminations.
