TMI Thursday: Litter Robot



Well, I've seen it all. Or as Christy's gramma said, So we've come to this...(or something like that) My BFF and her daughter both managed to break up with their boyfriends and inherit said ex-boyfriends cats in the process. I know....it's weird. Nevertheless, she is now the proud owner of four, count them, four cats. They're quite a crew. And they poop a lot. My friends isn't good with poop. Neither is her daughter. Four cat's worth of poop is just too much.

Drastic times call for drastic measures. While sitting on my couch a couple of weeks ago, she said she'd ordered a Litter Robot. I sort of shrugged. Who cares, right? Mechanical litter boxes are just silly and poorly crafted and we all know they blow up two days after the warranty expires. Then she told me it was a mind-blowing $300. Are you F-ing kidding me? That's what I thought but then she went on to compare it to sliced bread. She piqued my interest. I'll give her that.

Happily for them, the gadget arrived soon after and I just received the report. All four are taking advantage of it's special brand of elimination features. She said it looks like a space ship but I think it looks more like a diving helmet or maybe even one of those industrial hair dryers at the retro salon. Here's a little demo video in case you're having trouble figuring out it's mechanisms.



Now. Isn't that something?

Poke fun all you wish, but this thing makes sliced bread jealous.

I didn't empty it for two weeks because I wanted to see how long it would take before it began to smell. The drawer was full before I detected any odor, so I had to empty it. I'm also using much less litter, so this thing is eventually going to pay for itself.

Knowing what I know now, I'd pay even more (though I'm glad I don't have to do so)!

Also, I am amazed at the number of Litter Robot videos on YouTube. Maybe I should make one of my own.

U..Yo..bli..do.. This is me starting to come up with a lot of sentences and failing due to a general stunned feeling washing through me.

And I'm almost sold on it. I do have one less cat than Meloday and that makes three. Imagining life with a little less poop...

wv: nuffs
that's e-nuffs poop kitty!

There are lots of videos on YouTube of actual cats using actual Litter Robots. Hey,after watching all the videos, I want one and I don't even have a cat! Joe would have me committed if I brought home a cat OR Litter Robot right now.

That just might go on my Christmas list. I think my cat takes ex-lax on the side. She goes a lot.

Christy, it really is wonderful. And there isn't any less poop per se, I just don't have to deal with scooping or emptying or odors any more. Gotta love that.

Go check out the website. They have a no-interest payment plan, too!

kim, one of the inherited cats is a pooping machine! He was the first to christen the box and visits it multiple times daily. Santa would do well to deliver one of these to you.

All this Trouble...(Kimpossible), you can come admire my Litter Robot any time, no need to risk being committed.
