Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2005Bathroom Decor
Well, I've discovered the hard way that you get rid of clumping litter by putting it in a bag, not trying to flush it down the toilet. So now I keep a grocery store bag for the litter, by the litterbox. Problem is, it just looks well, not nice. So I'm wondering how other people keep the litter once it's out of the box. Do you use a regular wastebasket with bags inside? Is there a special little plastic box with a cover on it that I should know about? Or what?

That's not something I want hanging around the house, but then again, we have 4 cats now, so it's a lot of stuff to scoop.

What are you feeding him? ;) Let's talk about the care and feeding of husbands!

I want to join the club Sherry belongs to, so I would just like to say that I do not like the way you post. If you want to get responses here you might want to lay off the snot. Please post snotty comments to snot-specific groups. When you post snottily about cats in here, it takes up valuable space for non-snotty cat posts and I take offense at that. Also, what is "Gees?" You would get better responses from US if you wrote in English, know what I'm TALKING about Joe? I mean, what language is that, DUNG BEETLE? Huh??! <snip> >You are such a snot.

Sort of like "trolling", only a little different. The bait-or throws snide comments out to a specific poster, in this case in a thread said poster isn't even participating in. If the bait-ee responds directly to aforementioned snide remarks... VOILA!!.... you're well on your way to a 500-post flame thread. Or the bait-ee can choose to ignore the post.

It's an accurate portrayal of what you have been doing lately. I don't need a reaction from you. You may see it, you may not see it, but this is what you're doing. Hilarious. Where I live you don't put trash outside. Racoons, bears, etc. will get at it and spread it all over the place. i keep the "scoops" in a covered bucket lined with a plastic garbage bag. Once a week it goes to the dump with my other trash (we have special dump bags that cost $1 each). ---MIKE--- >>In the White Mountains of New Hampshire >> (44° 15' N - Elevation 1580') >>>Well, I've discovered the hard way that you get rid of clumping litter > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > > You are such a snot.

Your posts to "snotty" posts also take up space... are you being hypocritical here? > Also, what is "Gees?"

I don't want a better response, your response is just fine. Thank you. My point is that leaving garbage and waste material pile up inside the residence isn't the most sanitary of conditions. Your point was... well... to flame. > >>>Well, I've discovered the hard way that you get rid of clumping litter > > [quoted text clipped - 51 lines] > > Your point was... well... to flame.

I think the litter itself is made from bentonite clay, which is a natural component of various soils. I live in the country on a 5-acre plot. If I lived in the suburbs, I would dig a hole and gradually fill it. Why pay landfill rates for organic waste? Can this stuff be mixed into compost, I wonder?

However, my sister uses something called Litter Locker. It has a long, narrow trash "bag" that is coiled inside a plastic container. She drops the litter in, turns a handle one turn, and the litter in sealed inside (but retained in the plastic container). Then do the same thing the next she scoops, etc. When she wants to empty it, she cuts off one end and there is some way that the other end will be tied to prevent "escaping" litter and odor. It also has refills. She is very pleased with it -- but I find my take-it-out-to-the-trash method to be the most effective.

I found mine at a huge grocery store that sells everything but the kitchen sink, but I'm sure one can be found at a Wallmart or other department store. >> > Or what? >> >> Then I switched to a flushable clumping litter. > > What's the name of the manufacturer, and the product itself? I'm in Canada so (assuming you're in the US) the particular brand I use probably isn't available - Presidents Choice - Green. You might want to take a look at Swheat Scoop. It's made from wheat, is flushable and biodegradable. > >> > Well, I've discovered the hard way that you get rid of clumping litter > > by [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] > a look at Swheat Scoop.
