    So many cat people! lol

    That's because cats rule and dogs drool :laugh:

    Actually I've always preferred cats because they're cleaner and more independent. I have OCD and when our dog would go to the bathroom on the floor even after I stood outside with him for half an hour it drove me NUTS. I had all sorts of chew toys for him and he still insisted on chewing up my children's clothing, my laptop charger, and anything else that wasn't his. Waffles on the other hand uses her box without fail and while I don't enjoy cleaning it, she's grateful so I don't mind. The only thing she's ever chewed on is my toes through my blanket and she's not so needy as that dog was. Man was I ever happy to see him go! He was adopted by a family that didn't have children and swore they were going to treat him like a baby so I bet he was happy too :smile:

    I'm an animal control officer so I have ample opportunity to foster and save lives. I wouldn't be me without my fosters.

    I don't mind cats. We always had 3+ growing up. But I live in a apartment and there is no good spot for a cat box. Not to mention that I do hate cleaning them. I would want one of those expensive cat box genie things that cleans the whole box for you. Haha

    It's my dream to have one of those self cleaning litterboxes but for the time being I just scoop it for her each day as a thank you for using it :smile: We're in an apartment also and I feel you on having a place for it. It took some rearranging of our furniture to squeeze her goodies in but she was worth it.

    I've had more than one of those in my lifetime and trust me, they're more trouble than they're worth. Right now, the best thing I've ever done, is take a large 5+ gallon tupperware box as the outer box. Every time I go to costco I load up on litter box sized boxes. I fill the cardboard box up with just enough litter to cover the bottom. I put dryer sheets on the bottom of the tupperware bin before I put the cardbord box in to help with the smell. Every two days or so i throw the cardboard box out and start anew. No fuss, no muss. MUCH preferable to sifting through s***.
    You don't need a large tupperware bin, but I do, to keep the dogs out!

    What about teaching a cat to use the toliet? You can do that, right? lol

    if YOU know how, please, do tell! I've seen kits you can buy (imagine a litter pan that fits around the toilet bowl) but have never been brave enough to try it. Maybe you have to get 'em young. May be a good time to try on this set of fosters. Weird bonus for their adoptive parents though...

    We only have one bathroom and I'm currently trying to teach my toddler to use it. It would be soo awesome if Waffles could use the toilet but with the trouble I'm having teaching my son, I do believe my head would explode to try to teach her too.

    I had 1 of the self cleaning litter boxes - I think it's great for 1 cat, I had 4 and it was just too much and eventually broke. On a cheaper side though if the self cleaning litter box is too much I use this 1 now: http://www.amazon.com/Omega-Paw-Self-Cleaning-Litter-Large/dp/B0002DK2DU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1303519982&sr=8-1

    Its kind of self cleaning. U roll it and all the dirty litter goes into 1 compartment while the clean goes into another. U pull out the compartment with dirty litter and throw it away and roll it back for the clean litter.

    My profile pic is Vito (the happiest guy alive). He has a healthy respect for Atticus - the tortoise shell who actually runs our house :)
