Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / October 2004Cleaning Litter Box
Hi. I would appreciate any suggestions to my question I scoop out my buddy's cat box every day but am having a bit of a problem about how to discard the clumps. If I have a garbage bag that is ready to go out I'll dump the clumps in it but if I don't I put the clumps in a gallon size zip-lock bag, seal it and throw it in my kitchen garbage. I'm sure there's a better way and was hoping for some suggestions. Thanks in advance, James Oh, Mary. If your "listening" I'll have his picture up in a while. I've been bury. James > Hi.

I just use plastic grocery bags, tie them up and toss them outside into the big trash can so they don't stink up the house. We keep a little bin by the litter box we just stuff the bags into every time we go food shopping. > Hi.

I keep a fairly large plastic garbage bucket with a good sealing top near the litter boxes. It is lined with a garbage bag. When I scoop, I put the lumps in the bucket. Once a week, when I go to the dump, I empty the bucket into the plastic bag containing the rest of the garbage. After I empty the bucket, I put some baking soda in it. I get no smell from the bucket. ---MIKE--- > Hi.

I used flushable litter, so I just dump them in the toilet. Priscilla >> Hi.

I *know* it says the litter is flushable. I just can't bring myself to do it. We have our own septic system, and so we're responsible for the thousands of dollars to fix it if I screw it up flushing litter. Is there anyone out there who can offer some info. that it's really safe? Sherry > >> Hi.

We are on city sewer and water, but the house is pretty old and so is the plumbing. No trouble yet. I do want to say that the toilet we flush the clumps in is the old fashioned big volume kind--not the water savers that get clogged easily. My husband loves this litter, but I am not sold. First major clog and it't out of here. > >> Hi.

When the bucket is empty I put a tall kitchen trash bag in the bucket and scoop the boxes into that. On trash day remove bag and throw out.. If it gets too heavy for the bag I toss the bucket too. With 4 cats + 4 fosters we go through a lot of litter so I always have empty buckets to use. W >From: "JamesJ" jjy@adelphia-darwin-.net >I'm sure there's a better way and was hoping for some suggestions. I bought one of those tiny plastic garbage cans (2gallons?). I line it with a plastic bag. Then when I scoop out the box, I put the waste in one of those fruit/vegetable clear plastic bags, then throw it in the plastic garbage can which is in the garage. ________ See my cats: http://community.webshots.com/album/56955940rWhxAe Raw Diet Info: http://www.holisticat.com/drjletter.html http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html Declawing Info: http://www.wholecatjournal.com/articles/claws.htm >> From: "JamesJ" jjy@adelphia-darwin-.net > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > http://www.geocities.com/rawfeeders/ForCatsOnly.html > Declawing Info: http://www.wholecatjournal.com/articles/claws.htm Hmmm.

Discarding the clumps is easy - into the toilet they go and in one flush they're gone. Judy > Hi. I would appreciate any suggestions to my question > I scoop out my buddy's cat box every day but am having [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Thanks in advance, > James I also scoop our three litter boxes daily, I have a five gallon bucket I line with a small garbage bag, start with the box in the bedroom and finish with the 2 boxes in the garage pen I built. I dispose of it in the large garage barrell but put some A & H in the barrel with it so it doesn't smell. |
