Yeah - what are they going to do about that? Come to think about it, I've read that some forms of hepatitis can be passed through urine.

Now, none of us can use the toilet

That is what I generally do I triple bag the Found Cat's , shall we say end product and throw them in garbage cans where all the garbage is collected together in a big bag, so noone touches the litter bags!!
That seems to be the best way to do things as we are only allowed one bag per week with a 50 pound limit

We've used clumping litter for years, but always the unscented. Vet once told me that some cats develop allergies or reactions to whatever they use to scent it. And since we have a septic system, flushing it down the toilet was never an option. The only thing that plastic grocery store bags are good for, is used cat litter, and it goes to the landfill with all the rest of the trash that is picked up.

My RB Meezer Ming taught himself to use the toilet - only to pee tho. I think he just liked the noise of the tinkle! Dummy never learned how to flush when he was done tho!

Cats don't generally like "scented" litters, and I think they were made for the owners so they don't have to smell the odor of a litterbox. My RB cat Mollie Rose had severe kitty allergies and asthma. That's why I switched to Feline Pine pellets. Absorbs the urine odor and you only have to remove the solid waste daily. Once the pellets breaks down to sawdust, you dump the box and start over. It's great. No silica dust, very little tracking.
