Cat lover or not, I think we can all agree that litter boxes are pretty gross. I don’t have a cat myself (two toddlers are enough to keep my hands quite full!) but some of our extended family members have cats, and we house sit for each of them semi-frequently. So I am not stranger to the litter box.
Litter boxes are just yucky, the smell, the concept and the cleaning process! It all just grosses me out. In fact, I’m always secretly relieved when I’m pregnant while we are house sitting, so I can avoid litter box duties. (No cleaning litter boxes for pregnant ladies!!!)
Just remembering changing the boxes the few times I house-sat when I wasn’t pregnant, got me excited enough to want to share this product with all of you. Tidy Cats Lightweight 24/7 Performance Litter has a powerful odor control feature. That statement alone is enough for me to want to try the next time we are on pet duty! The product also locks in moiusture and creates strong clumps so it is easier to clean. Less smell & easier clean up??? Yes please!!!
The container is also lightweight, to make it easier to carry from the house to the garage, or wherever you store your litter!
Little known fact about me, is that growing up, I was totally scared of cats. I hated them and wouldn’t go anywhere near them. Then, one year while I was in the philippines I rescued a kitten that got washed away from it’s mama during a typhoon. The little baby was so tiny and we nursed it to health and it lived with me. The kids gave her all sorts of names, but I just called her “pusa” (Tagalog for ‘cat’). While Pusa is still the only cat I’ve ever really loved,she did break my fear of cats down a lot, and I’m able to be around them, take care of them and even appreciate them a lot more now. All thanks to my sweet Pusa, who kept my house in the Philippines mouse-free!
I didn’t use a littler box for her. She was an indoor/outdoor cat, so I didn’t have to worry about that at all, but if I did I’m sure I would have appreciated the lack of smelliness, and the ease of cleaning with the Tidy Cats Lightweight 24/7 Performance Litter!
Be sure to check out this Tidy Cat Commercial, it definitely made me laugh.
Do you have a cat? What is your least favorite part of cleaning the litter box?

My least favorite part, well, I had back surgery a month ago(I had a couple cages put in my lower lumbar) so just the simple act of bending over and getting down there is a pain. Secondly, our cat tracks litter outside the box around it and all over the house afterwards. Thirdly, the worst, is I am not entirely convinced that any cat litter out there is really clumping anything as it clamps it does. Yes, it clumps urine. But I have not seen proof that it clumps poo. Our cat was here as a stray when we moved in here and kinda just came in one day. Of course he is sickly and all that jazz and he has the runs constantly but we cannot afford to take him to the vet. So not only is his poo not clumping in the litter box. there is some that sometimes gets on the outside of the litter box on it, and lately, twice, he completely missed the litter box and it is on the flour next to me. I mean, really? Wtheck? I think that is the worst of it really. Nice post. Thank you. Have a great weekend :)

Well, I’d rather clean 100 litter boxes every day for 10 years than get pregnant and take care of kids, they gross me out a lot more!
