Friday Cat Blogging
Road Block
It’s time for scratches.
[Editor: While Sox admits “mistakes were made” and he “takes responsibility” for the litter all over the carpet, he wants his stomach scratched before the vacuum cleaner is used.]

Friday Ark #130…
We’ll post links to sites that have Friday (plus or minus a few days) photos of their chosen animals (photoshops at our discretion and humans only in supporting roles). Watch the Exception category for rocks, beer, coffee cups, and….? Do link to the…
Have you been letting Sox listen to GOP officials again?
I’m glad I’m not the only one with children who tend to “drop” litter randomly throughout the house.
My kitties only drop it after they’ve flung it all over the area. Nor do they take any responsibility for their actions.
(Incidentally, Oreck makes a fantastic portable canister vacuum cleaner; it has a little shoulder strap so you can sling it over your shoulder and look much like one of the Ghostbusters while you undertake the more mundane chore of kitty litter clean-up)
Luckily ours mainly go outside but if they did they would politely ask, sorry demand, a tum tickle before the clean up operation takes place
Steve, I think Ringo has been showing him Faux News in her constant need to find excuses for things.
LK, I have tried every brand, and they all end up getting tracked through the house.
Andante, I have a little machine that I use for cleaning dust out of computer equipment, but my 10 gallon ShopVac with the sheetrock filter does the best job.
Jams, I think Bebe could be stashing a 5-pound bag in her coat and you’d never notice as fluffy as she is. If they went outside they would bring in sand and fleas.
Oh my goodness, a tummy! How can you say no?
Check into the CleverCat™ litter box. It has a lid with a large hole through which the cat enters/exits. The box prevents the litter from flying when the cat is covering after itself. The lid also has ribbing that removes a lot of the litter from the feet on exit. Stella has had excellent results in decreasing the ambient litter, and both Tabitha and Samantha took to it right away; perhaps they like the privacy. They’d make a commercial for the product, if they could get a good answer to the question, “what’s in it for us?”
One note: a cat with mobility so limited that it cannot climb up or down about 18 inches probably cannot use this box.
(Apparently your filter thinks this is not a valid comment. Do I need to say something political? F**k Bush! Will that help?)

Bryan, are comments closed on this thread? Testing…
No, I’m just tripping your spam filter. I was trying to recommend a particular kind of litter box, two words joined together, the first is clever, the second is cat. More details later.
The problem is ambient. Ambien is a banned word because of the drug spam.
As you see, I can get the comment back.
“ambient litter”?
That’s the best description I’ve ever heard for a bunch of crap on the floor!!!
Oh no… drug spam! How much jail time am I looking at? 🙂
And I just had to dig you out of the litter…er…spam box, Andante and dump 80 spam messages, which brings today’s total to about 300.
If I could catch the damn spam bots they would be buried under the jail, Steve. They are a real pain. Why don’t they go bother Duncan.
Ah… Bryan, what you need is…
S*P*A*M*B*I*E*N™ !
(Now you’ll probably have to dig this one out as well.)
“And I just had to dig you out of the litter…er…spam box, Andante”
Errr…sorry about that. I never claimed to be the brightest bulb in the pack.
At least it kept you off the streets & out of trouble for a while.
This is starting to get really annoying. It comes in waves. It is cutting into time needed to clean litter boxes and do crossword puzzles.
That is one beautiful kitty. *Scratch, scratch.* “Now, Sox, get up and start vacuuming!” I assume your cats do chores, too?
That’s right! I expect my cats to do the vacuuming around here. It works, mostly. I think they sit around and use telekinesis on me to get their chores finished.
Chores? Oh, like putting my socks away…under the futon, under chairs, under the dresser. Lining up shoes so I can trip over them at night.
I’m happy that Sox keeps my feet warm on a cold night.
