Cat Lives Matter:

Thats some serious cattage.

Pretty cool! My cat, Pippen, is now 22 years old, but he would still love something like that. What would be really cool would be to design the cat roads with a lip on both sides that would be just wide enough to accommodate a Roomba, so it would be totally self cleaning. Just a Roomba on the floor wouldn't be quite enough.

I know someone who would love that place. She is a very nice girl who
worked at the counter at the corner bakery coffee shop. She has a
masters degree in paleontology and writes children's stories. She
invited us to her apartment for tea one day. We had envisioned setting
her up with our son, who is about the same age. I knew that she had
cats, but I had not realized what a cat lady she was. She had four
Siamese cats and there was more furniture for cats than there was for
people.

Some do; not all. I had a cat who hunted so many small rodents she
rarely bothered with birds; and another cat who never hunted or caught
anything in her life. Her sole excercise was walking from sunspot (or
hearth) to foodbowl.

Our cats did. They kill as much for sport as they do for food. One cat
used to like to hang out near the bird feeder. I was surprised to
discover how high that cat could jump. The feeder was hanging on our
laundry line, so it was about 5 feet off the ground. Piece of cake.

If you make a combined salary of $500K, for example, it's not that
much. It's relative.

I don't care how they spend their money but if you watched the video one
of the guys said he spent $40,000 on the cat walks. Sorry, but that
would equate to one hell of a booze bill! Then again, I also wouldn't
have that many cats. I have one, and she has one piece of "cat
furniture" plus she's allowed on the other cushioned furniture in the
house. She has no interest in climbing around near the ceiling.

He said he had the cat boxes in cupboards with strong extractor fans so the
smell didn't stay in the house.

With today's litter when pans are cleaned regularly there's no odor
whatsoever... I have three litter pans and each is cleaned 2-3 times a
day. Even with only one cat it's a good idea to have two litter pans,
and be sure thay are large enough and they're filled with adequate
litter. A lot of people skimp, the pans are too small and the litter
isn't deep enough for the cat to cover its business. Also the pans
need to be dumped regularly, scrubbed, and started from new... can't
just keep adding new litter to old forever, I throughly clean the
three pans once every week. I'm always amazed at how many people
never clean their own toilet and then they blame the stchink on the
poor cat. I've bought just about every litter out there, this is by
far the best, and practically dust free... I order three 40 lb bags
every month, gets delivered right to my door for free, much better
than schlepping heavy litter from the sto
http://www.amazon.com/Precious-Cat-P...rds=cat+litter
And this is the best litter pan, so is that metal scooper... flimsy
plastic scoopers suck:
http://www.amazon.com/Petmate-22040-...ate+litter+pan
The right equipment makes the job easy.

Sheldon, is that Precious Cat litter dust free? What do you like about it. Odor control? Good no break apart clumping?

It's practically dust free, no such thing as 100% dust free.
Has excellent odor control yet it's unscented, and excellent clumping.
Other than it works very well the best thing I like is its low cost
and free home delivery. The UPS driver stacks each carton at my
garage door, if I happen to be home he'll stack them inside. Each 40
lb bag comes in a strong plastic bag shipped in its own carton. When
I open a bag the first thing I do is divide it about equally between
two plastic buckets from a different litter, makes it easier to
transport to the litter pans, of course everyone will have their own
system. I cut the entire end off a bag and it pours easily, works for
me, I don't know how well you can handle a 40 lb bag, if you can't
easily lift it you can ladle it with a 2 qt sauce pan, that's what I
use for bird seed. I suggest you read the reviews.... you'll never
read them all... notice how many people are happy with it. I also
suggest you get that litter pan... you'll never go back to those
teensy things with low sides, and that cast aluminum scoop is the
cat's meow. A lot of people are remiss about scooping litter pans
simply because they are too cheap to obtain a proper scooper... those
flimsy plastic things make the job difficult and therefore offensive.

It has even been confirmed that George Bush (GHWB) denied presidents,

to his own experience of seeing a UFO but was denied access by the CIA.
To this day, GHWB exercises undue influence within the CIA as he made
sure he had loyal operatives at all levels, starting at the
directorship. Then again he made sure he had damaging information on
many key individuals, all else failing he “ordered their

national scandal that was covered-up by White House officials during the
time GHWB was vice president to Reagan and later.

He is also a practicing satanist by many accounts (now very popular
among the elite with their hand signs and T.V shows with satanic symbols
and themes – Beyonce, one among many); a coward (during World War II);
authorized the assassinations of democratically elected foreign leaders,
as well as American citizens – most notably Ross Perot who ran against
him as president – and used the CIA as a front for drug smuggling into
the United States using military transport aircraft and ships, a
practice that started with the Iran/Contra Scandal and later blossomed
as a major source of black operations funding outside the congressional
budget appropriations process where Congress controls the purse.

I have two cats and two litter boxes. I like the deep sided boxes with a domed cover. It keeps them from flinging the litter out all over the floor.. One of mine I swear could fling litter 6 feet if it werent for the cover. I've been using a really good litter that is pretty much dust free but it's quite pricey. If you like this so much I'm tempted to try it.

You have nothing to lose, order it... try it and report back. Two of
my litter pans have covers. But the one in the basement is that giant
one, it is very deep, no litter gets flung out. When the ones with
covers wear out I'll replace them with the giant one... it's also very
sturdy, the material is about three times as thick as the typical
litter pan... its corners are rounded which makes for much easier
scooping... and once you try a metal scooper you'll wonder why you
never used it before, first thing you'll do is toss the flimsy plastic
ones in the trash.

Doesn't matter, several posters have children of child bearing age.

But barbie gee! Aren't you terribly glad this stranger on Usenet is
worried about your reproductive health and the health of your unborn
child[ren] or grandchildren?! Gosh, I'd sure take this seriously if I
were you!

Sorry, I just couldn't resist.
