Besides our house is too small to give her any privacy
Why hasn't someone come up with better ways to do things?
CLEANING THE CAT LITTER BOX
When daughter #3 went off to college, dad had to take over the task of cleaning the litter box for 3 cats (although that was my ONE demand for allowing three selfish, demanding, destructive creatures to invade our home... that I wouldn't have to take care of the litter box ). Why hasn't someone come up with a better way to acomplish this disgusting task?
I use Fresh Step Multi-Cat cumping Extreme or with Frebreze. It doesn't matter, they're still Smelly Cat. And I get them cat food with the first ingredient either chicken or turkey, as recommended by the rescue center nazis. They don't get salmon anymore as it only makes things more pungent.We have two cats - the litter box is in the basement and we actually have two large litter boxes.
My son is the lucky one to be tasked with cleaning the litter box out.
Sorry to hear that you have to do this. Have you tried using baking soda to help with the smell? We use clumping litter and he cleans the boxes about every 2nd day so it does not get too stinky down in the basement.
LOL. I keep telling them to go play in the street but they don't listen. Just kidding. They don't go outside, because the rescue center nazis made us sign a commitment not to let them go outdoors or declaw them. And my family is stupid enough to comply. And because of that I refuse to get new chairs or sofa until they're gone.The ultimate answer to your question DiO'Bolic -- do not have cats. I know, that isn't an option.
There are self cleaning litter boxes, expensive and not sure how efficient they are.
Self clumping litter helps. Again expensive, but I know a lady who does this- she lines the litter box/ bottom and sides covered, plastic over- hanging side/then simply grabs the bag and presto, no scooping. Not practical with many cats and many litter boxes.
How many litter boxes do you have for the three cats? At least two is the norm.
Now, my question----- why isn't there a NO TRACK litter?
It's good yo have a kindred spirit.Oh great spirits hear his wish!!!
I swore on everything holy and unholy I'd never, ever, EVER, clean a litter box, well.......
My pack (pride?) of old barn cats were alway a total freakin' joy, they never even tried to come in the house, they wanted nothin' to do with it.
All I had to do was make sure they had fresh water, dumped a big bag of Blue Barn cat food in a cooler about once a week, gave 'em a scratch behind their ears every now and again, they dealt with sharped toothed pests and thought I was a god...these two I live with, I'm just their man Godfrey
I haven't tried them but have friends that have used some. They say they don't work well with the cement piss the cats produce and just go back to the old method toot sweet.They say that for every cat you own there should a separate litter box. I used to have too few. I realize that this is not a solution to your question, though. Consider the following...

There are other cat boxes on the market which deal with the scooping and/or cleaning.
I want some of those drugs of yours.Awwww come on now! Cleaning a litter box or two is a small price to pay for the unconditional love and pure joy that one gets from their kitties!
Do you give lessons?I'm too much of a clean freak to have a litter box. Our cat is trained to meow at the door when she wants to go out. She runs into the woods, does her business, then bangs on the door to be let back in.
Smart woman.This is why cat pictures are cute, as opposed to a real cat.
Hope you get your problem solved, Dio.
The cats can't be taught anything. They give orders, not take them. No wonder cats are considered female in the German language.You could potty train the cats.....
They're not allowed in the bathroom. They keep licking the toothbrushes and destroying the toilet paper.Teach them to use the real toilet.
They could, but at our place I am confident they would use the sandbox for the grand kids, and kill all the baby bunnies, just for the fun of it.I am never getting a cat.

I have three. $25 apiece and they're yours.
Your thinking of a dog.Awwww come on now! Cleaning a litter box or two is a small price to pay for the unconditional love and pure joy that one gets from their kitties!
