From kenvolonte at comcast.net Sun May 2 14:40:29 2010 From: kenvolonte at comcast.net (Ken Volonte) Date: Sun, 2 May 2010 14:40:29 -0700 Subject: [Cagdu] cat advice Message-ID: Hi all. We have recently come into possession of a cat, a little black short hair called Peaches. I've been assigned litter duty, and so I ask this question to one and all. Do any of the automatic litter boxes which hold out the promise of freeing you from this unpleasant task, do they work? If so, which ones are best? On line, I see the cat Jeanie, the litter made, the litter bot etc. Any help would be appreciated. There are also slide in litter pans which look like trouble to me, but then what do I know from cats? Thanks.

I'll find out which one it was. BTW, Yalie sometimes goes to the box for snacks of kitty poop, so we have to turn the opening to ours toward the wall so she won't get into it. Don't know if you have had that problem. Yalie will leave food o a table or counter alone, won't steal it or go after it, but she sneaks into the litter box. Disgusting! SHANNON L.
