Yeah, after being owned by a variety of cats over the past 20 years, I finally got one! I was a bit worried that my fatass wouldn&#8217;t fit in it, but he manages just fine &#8211; it&#8217;s actually roomier then the old one, due to the basic design. I got a Scoopfree auto box, which had the best reviews of all I&#8217;ve seen, even though the refills are spendier. I&#8217;d been warned about the (not so) quiet motor, and that it might frighten the cats.<\/p>\n<p>HAHAHAH!  When it starts, Annabelle will run from wherever she is in the house to watch it move. She&#8217;s amazed &#8211; it&#8217;s like the concept is some miracle from above &#8220;I went in and did mah bidness, an it CLEANED ITSELF! I never have to step in Ace&#8217;s bidness ever again! HALLALOOYA! An&#8217; all the cats sang AMEN!&#8221; (Apparently she went all southern baptist on me briefly and all. Haha.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/eclat\/2039111838\/\" class=\"tt-flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2343\/2039111838_7123c592ff_m.jpg\" alt=\"acebigdeal\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" height=\"193\" width=\"240\" \/><\/a>It&#8217;s also had the side benefit of her not pissing on anything else around the house like she would do before because she&#8217;d decided that the litter was too dirty for her precious lil paws. Thank you ScoopFree! (and the kids thank you too. hahahaha. oh the hatred for scooping and catbox cleaning&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>Ace, on the other hand is all blase about it. &#8220;&#8230;it&#8217;s a catbox. Gawd, Annabelle. Get ahold of yaself, kitten.&#8221; In fact, when he snuck out to the garage, where the old catbox is currently sitting empty, he nanchalauntly pissed in it. &#8220;See? This too is a box to pee in. Big freakin deal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s the extent of our exciting life here. Oh, and we got some snow too. But well, it&#8217;s Alaska. That&#8217;s bound to happen sooner or later. Heh.
