Kitten games

[4 feline house]

Wayne, I need one of those! We have a 20-pounder, and big cats make big poopies! The scooper breaks on a regular basis! Good thing they're cheap!

Kitty poop song???? Do enlighten, Wayne...I must have missed this!

[wayne0214]

tuxluvr; yes, there is such a song. It is sung to "Here comes Santa Claus": "I smell kitty poop, I see kitty poop, right there on the ground! Don't step in it, please avoid it, be sure to walk around! But door bells ringing, bags are burning, that makes kitty poop fun. So, get your shovels and little sacks and be a poop-scoopin' son-of-a-gun!"

Now, I know this is not what one would say; is a classic, but it does get the idea across.

Leah, let me make you one and ship it to you! It is really a great piece of cat- equipment!

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,

Spencer; OK I understand it now. I was under the impression that perhaps through heat, it evaporated the litter! Although, living in a rural area, I do not purchase any type of commercial litter product, but instead use creek bottom sand. There is plenty of that around here, and besides, the price is right! My homemade 24" x 24" litter box is made entirely of wood. I have found that a good washing out with a nozzelled garden hose, and then leaving it in the Sun for a while cleans up any odor that might persist. Then I put new, clean sand in it -about 4 gallons worth and truck (pull) it back into the house's bathroom. I'd imagine that the whole thing weighs around 40 to 50 lbs when full.

Wayne, it sounds like you have implemented the first public cat lavatory!! 40-50 lbs???

[wayne0214]

tuxluvr; Yes, and it works too. I don't know if you know how much 4 gallons of sand weighs. It is more than I care to carry, even though it has to be loaded up in those popular 5gal white plastic paint buckets. Do you think that I should patent this "tote kitty box?"

I've seen the Dallas clay. However we have a thick clay deposit next door. It is so pure that it is gray, and feels like the same stuff that is purchased for children.

No doubt the creek bed sand works! Growing up, I lived on a farm and we had a huge sandpile. My father replenished it with creek sand frequently. We also had a lot of farm cats - it was a regular gathering place and we had to "shovel" before playing.

Your original post reminds me of the commercial for cat litter, shows a guy with a giant shovel cleaning out a lion's litter box.

All kitties love these fake fur mice...Caught these pictures today - one looks like a "ballet" pose and the other looks like she tripped and fell over her kitty lair in pursuit of Mr Mousey

Those pictures are great. Actually she looks very comfortable in the picture on the right. It looks like the same position I get into at the chiropractor's and it's very relaxing!
