[nabs-l] cat litter box tips

[Karl Martin Adam]

Yes, you can get a scoop from any pet supply store or general 
purpose store like KMart.  I would never touch the poop and 
litter with my hands.  Scooping really isn't hard, you just move 
the scoop around until you feel something and then scoop under 
it.  You have to sort of dig under the surface with the scoop 
because cats bury their waste in the litter.  There are also self 
cleaning litter boxes, but they're way more trouble than they're 
worth.  Periodically you also have to dump all the litter and 
refill the box.  This is much easier as a two person job where 
one person holds the bag open if you have a roommate or partner 
who can help you, but it's doable as a one person job too.

so you do actually have a scoop to scoop out the litter  or the 
clumps each
day?

 Hi,

 If you get clumping litter, it will be easier to scoop out the 
waste with
 the scooper. I scoop everyday so that the room doesn't start to 
smell.

 I do wear gloves but mostly just to protect my hands from the 
bleech.

 After dumping the old litter in a bag, I use a garbage bag, fill 
the
 litter box with water and a little bleech. After dumping the 
water and
 bleech down the toilet, that is what I have to do in my 
apartment because
 the management says so, , make sure the litter box is dry before 
you put
 new litter in.

 I usually do this once a week. Makes for a happy kitty!
