There are days I feel like Dexter’s mom when I’m running around the house. The only difference is I refuse to wear yellow rubber gloves. My gloves are green. Even though madge says that Palmolive is good for the hands, it’s rough on my nails. Besides, I hate washing dishes or actually the silverware. Another thing I would pay not to do is to scoop litter.
I know, two alternatives would be you use disposable plates and cutlery, but is that environmentally sound? Not to mention the expense of purchasing those items on a regular basis. It’s more economical to just pay someone to wash the dishes.
And the alternative to scooping litter would be to not have a cat. I’m working on that but in the meantime I have a self scooping litter box.
Self-scooping when it decides to work. I’ve found that even trying to bribe or pay the kids, when they lived here, didn’t work. No one likes scooping the litter box.
A self-scooping or cleaning litter box is definitely the way to go. And the one I purchased worked great until it didn’t. And since I have two cates I have two litter boxes. One of the traditional kind since one of the cats is territorial about where he goes. So I’m stuck scooping.
Anybody want a black and white domestic short-hair? He’s free to a good home…
I can agree completely and my allergies make it even more so! The litter box is probably the worst chore in the house and one I would gladly trade any day. We have found alternative litter that makes it less dusty and helps immensely with the odors. I also use baking soda in ours, which seems to make the cats happier as well.
I’ve heard about putting baking soda in with the litter. Hmmm, giving that a try now.
I have six cats who use one litter box; therefore, daily litter box cleaning is imperative. It only takes a few minutes, so it’s not that big a deal.
Your cats need to come give mine a lesson on sharing the bathroom. 🙂
