A blogumn by CH
etc and I have 3 cats and cleaning the litter box is always something I dread. That is until recently when I went online to Amazon and bought this*:
This litterbox has changed my life.
It is so easy to use, and finally I don’t need to scoop kitty litter every day. You just roll it over, then roll it back, and all of the lose kitty litter falls through a screen and the used stuff is dropped into a removable drawer. I looked at a lot of more expensive self-cleaning litter boxes, but sometimes simple is better.
I love cat technology. The next thing I want to get for them is a water fountain. Our cats keep trying to drink out of the toilet. I think this will help to keep them drinking out of a bowl. Also they say that your cats can get dehydrated if they don’t have a access to fresh water and it’s natural for them to drink out of running water.
But my absolute favorite piece of cat tech is this.
I doubt it would work, but I wish I could teach my cats to use the actual toilet.
Last but not least, our cats are inside cats, but if your cat is an outdoor cat and you’ve always wondered where they go when they’re outside, check out this site.
You can now track where your cat has gone. I’m tempted to let the cats out just so I can use this. I love the idea of spying on them.
[Editor’s Note: BTW, according to the New York Times, “More Men Are Unabashedly Embracing Their Love Of Cats.” Read all about it here]

Thanks for the crazy cat guy blogumn. My hubby unabashedly loves all 3 of ours. Which is good for the guys cause ladies growing babies can’t change the litter!
We had one of those fountains for awhile, but the motor was loud and the cats didn’t seem to prefer it over a bowl, so we sold it at a yard sale (tho our cats do love to stand on the bathroom sink and drink out of a slowly dripping faucet, which isn’t exactly “Green” but hey 5 minutes and a happy Munchy is an ok pay-off.)

Oh if I only had the patience to train my kitty to use the john. I’m really going to save my time and pennies for this luxe cat box. It’s in the 2K range, but worth it for the pampered pussy, dontchya think?

OMG, Kelli. I want this. I want this like yesterday. In fact I think that I’m going to mention it in Friday’s Procrastinate on This. Why is it so expensive. CH. I wonder if we(and by we, of course I mean you) could make one. SO nice!
This isn’t meant to be snarky, but one way of preventing Miss Kitty from drinking from the toilet would be to potty-train her (with the added bonus being that you wouldn’t have to clean the litter box either…) ;)

I. Love. Kattbank. My only concern is how Kattbank posted a picture of me from 15 years in the future on their frontpage.

I’m personally dying to get this litter box, aka The Stinkiest Plant in the House:

My cat’s a big fan of toilet water, and he also likes to steal from my water glass when I’m not looking. He briefly took a break from that when I got him his water fountain, but alas, it didn’t last. It seems he’s only truly fond of it immediately after I clean and refill it. *sigh*

Amy, future you has an AMAZING view.
Suzy, wow! I want this now, too.
Who knew there were so many ways to hide cat poo. Frankly, it makes me proud to be an American.
ETC: I think if you just get a wooden bench with liftable seat, you would just need cut open a hole for puss puss to get inside. And then slap a pretty paint job on it and charge poor suckers a couple grand. Seems like something Ready Made magazine should print….

Now, I just wish someone would invent at litter trapping mat that ACTUALLY worked… My 3 cats really love to spread that stuff all over the house.
Oh…and, why I have the attention of cat lovers, vote for my cat….

Love the litter box — will definitely have to look into it. As for cat fountains — my cats love ours! However, I would recommend getting one where the water spurts out as opposed to the one pictured (Drinkwell makes a good one) — the cats like it better b/c it’s more like a faucet and it’s easier to clean.
Thanks for all the tips!

Ooh, thanks for the tip, Deb. I think we’ll pick one up this weekend. Will of course, let you know (online). :)
