Why you ask? I'll tell you. My husband is allergic to my cat, more specifically, to his dander. Anyone who has owned a cat will tell you that the second leading source of dander after, well, the cat itself, it the litter box. So as we consider Ted's big move to Silver Spring, Maryland this week, we wonder -- how will we contain the kitty dander (and the accompanying kitty s$*t) in the best manner in the confined space that is a D.C. apartment?
Many options come to mind. My personal favorite is the Litter Robot, a combination of a rolling-cleaning litter box and a Roomba. Theoretically, it will use lasers (!!!) to sense when your cat has used the litter, and after he departs, will shift upside down, sucking the kitty waste into a designated container. And for a mere $300, you too can have a robot clean up your cat's poop!
Since I'm doing that whole student poverty thing down to a whole new level, I may have to go with a cheaper option. At which point you can go with the Booda Clean Step Litter Box. This one appeals to me for two very base reasons: 1) The stairs. My cat can be a diva. 2) The colors. What cat wouldn't want to crap when surrounded by "Ruby Red"?
If you have any suggestions for this ongoing debate, please enlighten me. Frankly, I know whatever I purchase will end up in a corner, uncleaned, with my cat taking a dump six inches away just to spite me. Little bastard.

Or we can leave the cat with my parents....
This is why men die first and women are left with cats. When you both die I will have thirty cats. The firemen will have to cut them out of the walls when I die. So poop on you. (Ted, so much for my intelligent posting, right?)
When my littermaid bit the dust I found an auto box called Scoop Free. (www.scoopfree.com) I have loved it so far, its much easier than my littermaid was. All I do is toss out the entire bottom cartridge that has the litter and poop once a month and throw in a new one. The crystal litter that comes with it keeps the smell way down as well. you might want to take a look at it.
Keep up the good work. thnx!
