It's no fun being a loser...

Today was the day that Laura was dreading. It was the day she was to change the litter boxes. Keep in mind we have 5 cats which equals 5 litter boxes. Laura called on her way home and said she was going home to do the liter boxes. I told her (because I am such a wonderful partner), "no, I will do them when I get home." Her response was, "no a bet is a bet". I was ok with that. So, here are some pictures of when I got home and her changing the litter boxes. As you can tell, the more pictures I took, the worse her attitude got.
This was taken right when I got home. Not only was she changing the litter, but she was completly washing them out. How wonderful is that???
Here she is almost done with them. I think she was mad at me because I was kind of telling her what to do. Damn, I have such control issues...
Here she is when they were all cleaned out and she was getting ready to put the new litter in them. You can see she is excited that it's almost over and she will more then likely never have to do this again. Unless I get pregnant........

Wow. You love your cats more than we love ours. We have 5 as well but they are all stuck sharing one litter box. :) We use the scoopable stuff and scoop it at least twice a day (and nope, our house does not smell like a litter box. *grin*). We did upgrade from a regular cat box to a rubbermaid container so it's larger than a standard box (wider, not deeper).

I highly recommend Wal-Mart's Special Kitty litter in the green box. Once the initial cost of filling all the boxes is done (and you'd probably need a box for each litter box), then all you have to do is refill the litter boxes as needed. Scoopable litter is a trillion times easier than regular litter. But...no matter what anyone says, unless you enjoy paying plumber fees, never,ever flush "flushable, scoopable" litter. It will clog your pipes. It might not happen right away but it will happen. Trust me on this one. It was an expensive lesson to learn (years ago).

Thanks for taking pictures of Laura doing the dirty work - it was fun to see! :)
