I think I mentioned this before, but we have the worlds biggest cat
box. We have six indoor cats and it can go a full day without
cleaning at all.

Yes, I remember your writing about your trough. It's a great idea
and I wish I could use it. Unfortunately for us, it's just not
feasible. However, I'll keep it in mind and maybe we can work
something out - hopefully!! Thanks for the hint, I appreciate it.

We have a total of 3 boxes: a regular sized one in our bathroom, a big

the studio. They get scooped once a day, most days... sometimes I
forget... we usually fill up one gallon-sized ziploc bag per day.

Wow!! You've really got it under control. Seven kitties are a
*lot* of kitties to clean up after. I envy you - we can fill a
gallon-sized bag within a few hours. If I ever "forgot" for a day,
we'd have one large, solid mass to dump out!

Living way out in the country, we take the
bag way out to the fence line and dump it. Kills the weeds.

Now *there's* a solution to weed control!! Not an option here
though. I keep getting surprised at the responses here, that so
*little* (comparatively speaking) litter is used and disposed of among
these multiple kitties. *All* the cats we've ever had have been
indoor/outdoor and I hadn't realized just how much was done outside!

you might want to consider the flushing litterbox.. you hook it up to your
washing machine.

Interesting idea. Do you happen to have one? With the space
available to me, I don't know how I could use it but will consider the
possibility. Thanks.

Well, yours is a special case 'cause they gotta pee with those conditions.
With my five kitties, I've got 5 boxes in the laundry room with a good
scoopable litter I found called Dr. Elsey's plus 2 small boxes in our
smaller bathroom. I scoop about 2x/day--sorry.

Right you are!!! *Both* kitties have illnesses whose symptoms
include "excessive urination" - and I didn't really realize *how*
excessive it could be!! While Hobo's diabetes is under control now,
he still manages a pretty hefty output. Speckles seems to do most of
it, plus periodic incontinence elsewhere, poor little lady.

I haven't heard of Dr Elsey's litter. Is it on the internet or at
Petsmart? Worth looking into. Thanks.

It is in the Petsmarts here -- there's a blue bag formula for multiple cats
and a scented formula I believe in a red bag -- they also make a special
type called "Cat Attract," which works pretty well also (having tried to
use it to discourage inappropriate marking peeing).

Here's the link online to the Dr. Elsey litter line called Precious Cat:

I also tried out the "World's Best Cat Litter" cat litter, which is also in
Petsmart and I liked it but the cats didn't.
