Lennie B,

WHOA!!!!! When I first read that your cat cleaned his own cat box I thought "Send him to MY house!!!" I pictured a cat walking around with a scoop. Then as I read further I realized what you were saying.

I find little dried "surprizes" on the floor occasionally as well. Since I have 6 cats and 5 boxes, it was just a matter of one of them digging to China and accidentally throwing out a poop.
