| 692.1 | What did I know then, about litter boxes??!! | WECARE::FALLON | | Fri Jan 14 1994 11:07 | 13 |
| Jim,.
I have seen ads for this and am also curious. I use around seven boxes
in the house (more or less depending), so my trash is also mainly
used litter. It probably works well for a low count household. I wish
they could come up with something that works with a high count
household!!
Many years ago, my grandmother had bought me a special litterbox for my
first cat, Spot. It had a screen in the bottom for under the litter.
As I recall, it did not get very wet or have an odor. It also had a
bigger screen that you picked up to separate the "solids". It worked
great for one cat!

| We've seen them recently too - we spoke with one of the clerks at the time
who said they've been a BIG seller, tough keeping the shelves supplied....
we brought home the flyer they had with info, which DOES say it's mainly
a "one cat" box........my roommate is thinking of getting one to try
upstairs in her room and depending on how it goes over, we may get a
second or third.......they're a little expense for the initial investment,
but when you look at what you have to spend after that (to replace the
liner and/or the "gravel") versus all the litter and trash bags, etc.....
I think the initial investment would easily be recouped !
If we do give them a try, will post results/feelings here.

| 692.3 | Kitty privy might be ok for 1 cat familys | EMASS::SKALTSIS | Deb | Mon Jan 17 1994 18:51 | 16 |
| Is this the "kitty Privy"? The granuales are wax covered ground up
corn cobs (which cost about $6/box). My cats did indeed use it, but
there were a couple of problems. It would have been great if the cats
just urinated in there, but they seemed to like to deposit stool there
too, and the granules would attach themselves to it. So, a box of
granules lasted about 2 weeks. Second, The urine winds up just standing
in the collection part of the privy, and even though I emptied it
several times a day (often spilling it), the bathroom just seemed to
always smell like urine. Finally,they tell you just to rinse the
granules in cold water once a week or so (hot water would melt the
wax). In my opinion, cold water doesn't kill germs, and while I was
using it, it seems that the cats had more health problems then with
regular litter.

| 692.4 | Anyone give this a whirl yet? | LEDS::COCHRAN | | Fri Jun 10 1994 10:20 | 7 |
| I'll probably end up giving the Dry System a try but would love to hear
if anyone else has opinions about it. Scooping clumps is really getting
old, and ends up being most of our garbage. Less to throw out makes
this system real attractive.
Thanks,
