Two cats; 3 boxes (no idea what the reason is behind that).
I have seen two ways of figuring how many litter boxes you need that would get to that number. There are some who say you need 1.5 boxes per cat. And there are some who say the ideal number of boxes equals the number of cats plus one. Some cats like to pee in one spot and poop in another so having more boxes than cats helps that.
As for dust-free, Feline Pine is a good one, and so is World's Best Cat Litter (corn based clumping litter). I like Feline Pine, but while it does not send dust up into the air, it is made of compressed sawdust pellets that disintegrate back into sawdust when exposed to liquid. So it can cause the problem of leaving a scattering of sawdust in the vacinity of the litter box.
Heh. We have three cats, one ENORMOUS box.
I didn't know such a thing existed; I'll have to mention it, for sure.
Feline Pine and some of the paper-based litters may be your best bet. The crystals are costly, but I bet they'd also be worth a shot. (All you scoop is the poop.)
but I do recall growing up cleaning the litter box always resulted in me (1.) controlling the urge to retch,
Daniel is me. As a kid, I hated cleaning the box. Now, when I cat-sit for friends, as long as it's not fresh, it's not a problem so much.
I think it is another desperate attempt by pathetic liars and scoundrels who will stop at nothing to keep their opponent from taking office.
Again, Daniel is me. Ya, I wrote a couple of those letters this political season. I'm all for debating points. And will happily concede when they win me over on a point. But get down right grrrr at the fear mongers whisper campaigns, and those that blindly forward them along.
In happier news. I am officially finished watching Stargate SG-1 seasons. It was kinda creepy. The very last episode, they walked through the puddle for the last time just as the drier was done spinning. Timed as if a Stage Manager had cued it. Anyhow, I have the 1st movie, and have put in a request for the 2nd. And almost all up to date on the Stargate Atlantis. Probably by end of next weekend, I'll have to look for something else to obsessively watch. The library has Lost. Hmmm. Maybe.
Daniel, that letter is a thing of beauty!
Daniel, I'd be applauding wildly if it didn't mean letting go of my coffee. But know that there's a wild round of virtual applause going on.
joins in with the clapping. and the coffee. but mostly the clapping for Daniel.
Daniel, that letter is fabulous. I hope it gets a good response.
Go, Daniel!
Someone lie to me and tell me the hurty will go away if I get out of bed and move around.
Well I don't know, sj, but maybe the hurty will go away if I get out of bed and move around and take something against it?
That's a good letter, Daniel. I just finished reading an article by Paul Krugman. He expects the GOP to become even more hung up on the culture wars after the election, notably because the more moderate Repubs in Congress are about to lose their seats. But the country is moving past that. The Republican Party that believes we'd all be on their side if only
we'd just wake up and listen to them and realise who Obama really is
won't return to power anytime soon. It needs to rediscover a way to appeal to social moderates. I'm not sure how long it'll take them.
ION, I gave a speech tonight (with Wallybee and her parents in attendance) on the ins and outs of the Electoral College. One interesting tidbit: apparently some scholars conclude that the Founding Fathers expected the EC to fail, more often than not, to agree on a candidate, throwing the decision to the House of Reps. Its role was in large part to provide the Reps with a shortlist.
Having it actually happen in 1800 seems to have dampened the enthusiasm for an indecisive EC.
