spencer; That sounds like a great idea for one or two cats. How does it work, do you plug it in the wall socket? However, this morning it is beginning to rain, and I had all 9 of the "inner group" in the house! While the kittens were playing with whatever, the older ones were trying to sleep. Now, when there are that many felines around,I had to make a larger litter box. 24" x 24" and about 4" deep. And since it is in the bathroom and the weight would be substantial, I placed 4 castors on it and a pull rope. Sure eliminates a bunch of physical stress! Also, when it begins to smell like ammonia, then I know it is time to clean it out,. which is about evey 18 hours,
