Litter Box Woes


Some people are just too lazy to scoop poop. There are all sorts of companies that come into your back yard and take care of all the little packages we leave. Linda actually thought about hiring one of these companies when she had Sheba and Snickers. Together, the two giant dogs left some colossal piles around the yard. With Chimmie and I, this is definitely not a problem. It is super easy to clean up after us. She does have to do the cat box everyday, and that's no fun. Now, one of those companies has started cleaning cat littler boxes too. They deliver a self-contained litter box that is fitted with a tight lid right on your doorstep. After a few days of use, you put the lid back on and put it out on your doorstep. The company picks up the soiled box and leaves a new one. Sounds pretty good, right? Except what does the cat use for her bathroom between the pick-up and drop-off of the new box? Plus, the cost is $16 a visit. If you average 10 times a month, that's a lot of money to pay for just 30 seconds a day of scooping yourself. Linda wants one of her handy friends to make her a litter box holder like this one. Lot's of people train their Chihuahuas to use a litter box. If we had something this pretty, maybe Chimmie and I would use it.
