Litterboxes!!!!

[Medusa]

The most indoor cats I've had of my own is 8; I'm down to 6 now because 2 went to the Bridge. As much as you hate to, try scooping more often. The boxes aren't as filled, so it goes much more quickly and it isn't as smelly. I scoop a minimum of twice a day, morning and before bed, but if someone does a really smelly one, I'll scoop it or at least sprinkle some litter deodorizer in the box. Funny but I'd much rather scoop a litter box than change a dirty diaper. And yes, I love kids but I've never liked diaper duty.

I sprinkle a little baking soda to take care of "big stinky ones." The right scoop can help, too. I've got a big plastic one with a short handle that's good for scraping up the "pee biscuits" that stick to the sides or the bottom.

Also, if I see one of mine peeing when I'm getting ready to scoop (usually Don Juan, Official Litter Tester), I wait an hour or so, or overnight, so the biscuit will retain integrity when I scoop it.

LOL, I am the weirdo! While I don't love scooping, it isn't a big deal to me. I have 6 cats, and right now, only 3 boxes down (it works for us, don't worry). I usually have two more down, but, haven't gotten around to it. Plus, my lazy cats use the one in my closet 5 times more than the 2 downstairs.

I scoop the upstairs one twice a day, and the basment two twice a day. Unless Arizona decides to make the place fragerant. I have been woken up from a sleep to address her little pressies!!

I hate the ones that stick to the boxes!!! I don't really notice much of a smell with any of their poopies. They all cover theirs pretty well. I use Scoop Away Multiple Cat. Another thing I hate is when that strip doesn't peel off the cat litter bucket. I finally wrote to the Scoop Away people and told them how frustrating it was. Every 3 or so buckets that I buy the strip doesn't peel and then I have to try to pry it off with something. They sent me a coupon for a free bucket!

I really don't enjoy scooping, but it has to be done. So every morning I scoop, without fail. I use Arm & Hammer for Multple Cats in 13 litter boxes. Only 8 are in the house itself. Sometimes I need to scoop a particularly smelly batch. If I put off the morning ritual, I get a puddle somewhere it shouldn't be--like the kitchen counter.

I started feeding the cats Precise cat food a couple of weeks ago. There seems to be less to scoop than before. And they like the taste. I get it at our local shelter for about the same price as most premium cat foods. I saw an independent study that rated it as one of the top cat foods nutritionwise.

I'd much rather scoop than have to take a dog out in the cold or rain to do their business, but that is just me.

LOL...I have that duty too. I don't mind walking Casey though. It gets me some much needed exercise twice a day. I love my kitties though and so I will continue to scoop away...........
