How many litter boxes do u have ?

[mythicbells]

Things have changed a lot since I made this vid. I have since found a commercial litter box I like and switched all over to it (NVR Miss) Google it and I'm sure you'll find it. Also, I now use a caddy that I carry from box to box rather than one at each box. I currently have 7 boxes, but it varies as I change things around. Rule of thumb is 1 box per cat plus 1. EX: 3 cats = 4 boxes.

Really like the end of this video but why don't you have to ever change the litter? What kind of litter to you use? I am spending 20.00 every two weeks for litter and I have 3 indoor cats. That's strange, the last box of litter looks clean. I am spending too much money on litter, the best one so far that I have found is Dr. Asleys, I think that's the name but that is the best for me, no smells with this litter.

You probably mean Dr. Elsey's Precious cat litter? Yes, that's what I use and what you see in this video. Can't wait to hear what "blue box" litter is :D

@mythicbells why don't u like litter boxes that have govers(lids)?

[mythicbells]

Several reasons I don't like covers on boxes. 1. you can't see if it's been used easily at a glance, 2. it's much more of a pain to clean: lift off, find place for top, clean, replace top, 3. many cats will not use covered boxes because they either feel trapped or the lid keeps odors inside where it bothers the cat. HOWEVER, it they work for you, there's no reason not to use them, if that's what you like.

Indeed! And I use paper plates too....and probably a plethora of other environmental infractions I'm not even aware of can be laid at my feet. Guilty as charged!

It's a bit mind-boggling how you never have to change the litter......
