The quarantine warden is reluctant to let me leave this morning. He won’t even look me in the face.
Looks like George is suffering sooooooo much.Been awhile ao, I’ll just drop some pics here and walk away.
Being a cat owner for 30 years, when a cat spreads and lies on his/her back, my guess is that it's a cooling pose to expose surface area. Can't prove it though. It could also just be a bold dating move.Beware the ferocious tiger roar (or awkward yawn). And he’s the dignified one.
We've been cat-less for almost a year now. Hops went out to the front porch and disappeared one nigh last August-she probably became owl food. Here are a couple of the last pics we have of her. She was very coyote savvy, we had lots of them where we used to live, but we didn't have owls.
I tend to visit stores that are animal friendly before other stores. Weird but big selling point for me.unofficial mascot of Legacy package store.
Heaven forbid I show up without her. People who've met her look at me, then look around and ask "Where's Half Pint?".I tend to visit stores that are animal friendly before other stores. Weird but big selling point for me.
An auto-cleaning litterbox that doesn’t suck? Do tell.
One I had years ago eventually couldn’t even make it through fresh clean litter without binding. I never did fix it.
We’ve got one now that we put in the mix when we go out of town to keep things to a dull roar, and so far it’s been good. But I suspect it’s the same model I had previously, so I’m a bit skeptical.
Wallace watching his new can in action. Wife made a late night impulse buy while I was at work a few weeks back. Completely blown away by how well it works (so far), but definitely a luxury buy haha. I’m debating a second one for upstairs...

Another huge endorsement for the Litter Robot here. We got our first about 5 years ago and now have 3. Had one stop working right during the warranty period. Contacted LR, sent the base back they repaired it and sent it back. I’m thinking it was less than two weeks turn around.An auto-cleaning litterbox that doesn’t suck? Do tell.

My wife was happy to hear that its held up for 5 years, and that you'd been impressed enough to purchased additional ones. Any tips on the best type of litter to use? We switched to the cloud control stuff early this year because one of them likes to kick up a storm. Been debating switching back to the old litter since it was a bit cheaper and held up nicely, but I'm afraid that each cycle will turn the thing into a cheech and Chong movie.Another huge endorsement for the Litter Robot here.

One thing to watch for is if the power goes out. Here it’s subject to go out, come on and go out again. The robot starts to cycle when power comes on, but then will stop tilted when it goes back out. You can always remove the hood and move the globe back upright, but I’ve just unplug ours till I’m sure power is on for good.
@Immocles I agree with it keeping the smell contained. I also keep a can of Febreze next to the robots and give the turds a quick spray when I do the redistribute shake.
Happy to answer any LR questions.
One of my cats did that. Not sure which one as I had 4 at the time, but have a really good idea. There was a trail of rabbit pellets around the living room. It wasn't the rabbit through the cat door that was impressive, it was getting the full size jack over the 6' fence.This boy is so sweet and lovable. He is also a master hunter.
He recently caught, killed, and partially ate a jackrabbit that was as big as he is. What amazed me was that he managed to bring the rabbit into my shop, fully alive, through his cat door. I know the rabbit was alive when he brought it in, because there was no blood anywhere on or around the door. I found signs of struggle and lots of blood where he killed it in the storage area of my shop.
Like I said, he is so sweet and lovable.....to me....but I would not want to be a small creature on this property!

Any good clumping litter that your cats are accustomed to will work. Ours were born and raised on SAMS litter. It's a bit dusty, but clumps well.My wife was happy to hear that its held up for 5 years, and that you'd been impressed enough to purchased additional ones.
