Poopy.

A month and two days ago I bought an automatic litter box for my two cats. Aside from only having to change it once a month I thought it we be a good investment considering Joshua and I are constantly out of town. Izzie took to it okay but Bella did not. I hoped after awhile she’d get used to it, but she’s afraid of the noise it makes when cleaning. She started doing her business outside the litter box or holding it in till she could go outside. I did some research and tried leaving the old one next to the new one without cleaning the old one hoping they’d prefer the newer one. When we came home from vacation it was clear they preferred their old box.

Luckily I hung onto the receipt plus ScoopFree’s web site has a 90 day money back guarantee. You can imagine my surprise when the sales associate tried to give me store credit because I was two days over the return policy PLUS the only thing I didn’t have was the box it came in. I stood my ground and ended up getting every penny back on my card. All I can say is thank goodness I decided to print out the guarantee. And good thing I wore my name badge showing that, yeah, I’m an associate too so just try to mess with me; I dare ya.

Oh to be on both sides of the counter. Anyhoo, time to go take the kitty food away. Izzie is going in for teeth cleaning so she can’t have food or water past midnight because of the anesthesia.

Ah, cats and their funny habits! Ha, our cat was an indoorsy cat for a long time, and when he first started going outside more often at the age of 1-2 ish, he would always meow and scratch, jump and claw at the locked back door (we didnt have a cat flap) to be let in because he didn’t know how to poop outside yet!

Oooh, my childhood cat had a litter box like that for a few years. I think it annoyed ME more than it did HER. XD The noise! :P

And WOOT for standing yo’ ground! I should take some lessons from you because I really suck at confrontations.

Hahah, I’m not sure I blame her, being afraid of her litter box making a weird noise when it cleans itself!
When I was little I was terrified of the noise the water made going down the plug hole after a bath! I’d run out of the bathroom as quickly as I could so I didn’t get sucked down too! LOL!
