Muscleyarm’s WebNog

Today, Muscleyarm’s Webnog has invited three panel guests to debate on which cat litter works best for keeping that nasty ammonia, I live-in-a-studio-apartment-with-eight-cats smell down.  Let’s start off with our new friend Darla.

Thanks Muscleyarm for inviting me on the program.  Funny you should mention this.  Now, I do not live in a studio apartment, but I do live with eight cats in a two bedroom rambler house in Dayton, MN.  First off, I keep the litter boxes in the basement.  I have eight litter boxes, one for each cat (as suggested by the American Center for Disease Control) and I scoop them once every hour.  I use Feline Pine natural cat litter made from pine sawdust, which is compacted into little pellets by the manufacturer.  This seems to work best.  I used to use clay litter, but there was so much dust accumulation in the basement that it got into my clothes and when I’d go to work at the library I would be covered in dust.  There was a permanent dust cloud that swirled around me and I got the nickname “Pig Pen” after that dirty little boy on the Peanuts cartoon.  So long answer short:  Feline Pine.

Hi, Saki here.  I used to have pert near 15 cats at one point and such but when I had to go to jail and such, the city confiscated my little darlings and I heard tell that they were all but one destroyed.  Nowadays, I don’t own a single cat, due to my restrictions and such and plus it brings back a whole lot of bad memories and such.  I never used cat litter.  I just let the durned things out into the backyard.  At one point I had built a sandbox for the little things, but it got so full with excrement and such that the neighbors complained and I had to cover it with sod.  For a while there I had the little things do their business in the basement on a pile of old flannel shirts I had collected from my wheelings and dealings, but as I said before, the city took away my little darlings when I had to go away for this and that…

Hello, and thank you Muscleyarm for bringing me back on your three panel discussion segment of this forum.  Hi Saki, I have not heard from you in some time.  Anyway, father does not allow puss cats as pets in our household.  He says that they are from the devil and that they are disease ridden vermin.  Father also does not like pussies because he does not like their lazy, hedonistic philosophy in life.  My sister Gerta and I secretly love pussies and we visit my friend Jorge on a daily basis in order to visit his puss cat Yummers.  Yummers makes us clap with delight when he does the barrel roll across the floor and then gets spooked and runs headlong into the wall.  I know nothing about cat litter.
