the mashtun menace!
That’s a great picture!!
What was the purrcentage of alcohol in that batch?
This one will be a bit long, so skip to the question at the end if you want to.
We've had cats the entire time we've been together (24 years this year). At last count we've been owned by seven (we have two boys right now). All of them have been the goodest kitties. I'll post some pics later. However, there's always been an issue; the husband refuses to touch the litter box. Says the smell makes him puke, but suggest getting rid of the cats (or send them outside, nope nope nope won't do that since two of our previous boys lost their lives to some jerk's loose pitbull, also we have coyotes here) and he will shut up. However, the smell does get to us. I do what I can but it gets away from me sometimes. So this week we plunked down about $230 on an automated box. It got here today, and hoo boy is this thing fun. Both cats have used it, no issues, and no smell. Very little noise too. And like everything else in our lives, it has an app (of COURSE it has an app). Me thinks I'll spend the next day at the office just staring at it, waiting for my boys to make a 'deposit'. The older one would pee in the old box for the first day after cleaning it out, but as soon as there was more than a few clumps he would pee on the carpet. He's used it three times since it got here about 2pm, and seems okay with it. The younger one (who was born feral, and has the very debbil in him sometimes) has never had an issue with a dirty box, will use it no matter what; and he likes the new box too. We did a ton of research before settling on the one we got (will post link below), focusing on safety for them. BTW don't google what can happen to cats in a forward-rotating automated box, it's ghastly. This one rotates to the side, is disturbingly quiet, and has plenty of safety features (sensors and such) so it won't move if something is nearby or enters it. As of now, I'm happy, they're happy, the husband is happy, and I have something new to entertain me. We also got it to keep our older dog from eating kitty roca (yuck).
Anyway. Question to yall, how many of you have a litter robot (or a cheaper Amazon knockoff), and what are your opinions?

I was skeptical as all hell of the litter robots when my wife brought it up like five years ago. My mom had an auto box when I was younger, but it was one of those rake types that just sucked. We had three cats when my wife got the first LR and scooped boxes every other day (usually me). After about four days, I told her we needed a second one. So we have two litter robots (I think the third generation) now, and four cats. I don’t think I could ever go back to a regular litter box. It’s that convenient and it means there’s always a clean box for the cats. They are expensive, stupidly. But they’re amazing, especially in a multiple cat household

Only because I've lived with cats do I think this is funny as hell.
Such a talented kitty!

Does anyone with an aging senior cat have an experience with Solensia for creaky joints. The tiger looks like he has some hip pains and our vet recently mentioned this as a treatment

shabat shalom everyone!
New cat. Her name is Trixie. She’s about eight and was a surrender from an elderly couple that went into a nursing home. She lived with another cat in that home but she’s slowly adjusting to us plus having four other feline roommates. Shes been here nearly a month and the past week she’s really started hanging out in the open. She’s not completely sure about two of the other cats but I think she will get there.

I got a new toy. The ginger one got imaged in the infrared.
Nailed it!
