I will never use a hooded litter box again - and the one I did use wasn't actually mine, but due to having two cats in the household, I was expected to maintain it.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad you posted about this. It's an excellent and practical idea. Better than everything else I've tried, at least.<br /><br />Referring to your earlier post, my grandmother did purchase one of those self-cleaning litterboxes, and it was one of the worst things ever. It would easily jam up so had to be cleared up somewhat frequently and the noise tended to scare the cats.Lisa Harneyhttp://www.questioningtransphobia.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162778936006928808.post-32785954642427869632011-04-22T21:36:30.975-07:002011-04-22T21:36:30.975-07:00Lisa Harney: Probably you didn't think of it b...Lisa Harney: Probably you didn't think of it because the books/websites in which I read about the idea (of using storage containers as litterboxes) didn't exist when you had a cat. I certainly can't take credit for the idea...I came across it in multiple sources during my pre-kitten-adoption reading frenzy back in 2009. <br /><br />But it's worked out so well here (especially as my boys have gotten to be such magnificently massive couch-panthers) that I would definitely consider myself a permanent convert at this point. Pet-store litterboxes are (IMO) a rip-off unless you have extremely small cats. Brodie and Shadow are too long and tall to even fit halfway into the litter boxes I see labeled "large". And I seriously dislike "hooded" litter boxes on principle. They set up "ambush" potential in a multi-cat household and they're a lot harder to clean (and with my cognitive inertia issues I know having to remove a lid to scoop would make daily maintenance that much more difficult).Anne Corwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940566603711834053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4162778936006928808.post-50231572759335804212011-04-22T16:56:55.338-07:002011-04-22T16:56:55.338-07:00I...

I feel kind of ridiculous now, but something like that would have solved so many messy problems.Lisa Harneyhttp://www.questioningtransphobia.comnoreply@blogger.com
