23. We've dealt with several for a lot of years...

never quite made it the "one per cat, plus one extra" formula, tho. Used to be no issue until my disabilities kicked in. I try to clean one now, and I end up bent over double trying to get back to the bedroom to lay down flat for a while. So, everyone around here kicks in and does a little each day, and then we clean them well the night before trash day. So far, none of the felines are complaining... and believe me, mine are very vocal about things like this!

We tried two different litter robot kinds of machines... but I think this was when they first began to come out. Both of them were a heck of a lot more problems than just scooping the box. Crap on the rollers to be cleaned off... machinery stopping. Sent the first one back, convinced it was simply a lemon... but damn, the second one did the same thing. Still... I look longingly at some of the new ones out on the market. But no way could I ever justify the price on our budget!

That arm and hammer system looks good iemanja Dec 2025 #22

Try it, let me know how it works! Freddie Dec 2025 #43

Disposable boxes are bamagal62 Dec 2025 #34

We use the litter boxes with the high sides so kitties can't get litter on the floor when they dig. Nanuke Dec 2025 #30

Recently switched to a brand of litter called "Catalyst" Blue Owl Dec 2025 #31

I use a disposable litter box. bamagal62 Dec 2025 #33

If I do get a cat, I'll go with a sifting box rather than clumping iemanja Dec 2025 #36

The clumping litter can be heavy CountAllVotes Dec 2025 #40
