Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2007Cat suffocated in litter canister
I am the person who originally posted the message about the cat suffocating in a pail of scoopable litter with a flip-top lid. This message has been picked up by a number of cat groups. My husband wanted me to add some info. He experimented with the lid and discovered that it does not have to be all the way snapped shut to create an airtight seal. Even if the top part of the lid is not pushed down all the way until it clicks, this canister is still dangerous.If the two parts are the lid are connecting, the cat cannot get out or get air. If you have this type of canister, get it away from your cats or drill some holes in the lid. Our Geordi died on Dec. 14th.

I'm so sorry this happened :( What brand was it? Or can you say? > I am the person who originally posted the message about the cat > suffocating in a pail of scoopable litter with a flip-top lid.

I'm so terribly sorry for your loss in such tragic circumstances. A candle will be lit for Geordi.

Also, thank you for posting so that we know that this is a real event and not a made-up story (and isn't it sad that we've seen enough hoaxes about tragedies that we have to be wary of any such messages).

I am so sorry for your loss, losing your beloved kitty in such a tragic, freak accident like that. Thank you for clarifying the circumstances. I was the poster who also experimented with the lid and just couldn't see how it could be closed tightly by a cat jumping on it. I had no idea that the lid did not have to be completely snapped down tight to become airtight. Cutting air holes is a good solution, too. I don't know whether the company would be amiable to changing their lid design, but maybe if we knew who to write to, they would consider printing a warning on the label? I would be willing to write a letter. Again, I am so sorry about Geordi. Sherry > Our Geordi died on Dec. 14th. I'm so sorry for your loss. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |
