Monday, home with one sick kid.
Tuesday, home with two sick kids.
Wednesday, home sick with three sick kids.
You see where this is going, right? Come Friday we’ll be on the news. “Local family harbors mutant strain of plague! Film at Eleven!”
In my delirium, however, I can’t stop laughing at this picture. Is it a cat litter box? A rice cooker? A cat space capsule? Some demonic combination of the three?
Well once I’d seen it there was no going back. I had to keep clicking around Amazon… Big mistake. I found out that there are lots of robo-cat-boxes out there. And they all sound disgusting. Check out this review entitled “An expensive way to smell poo” that had me laughing until I cried.
You will become more familiar with your cat’s feces every day as the cat genie gently fills your home with the aroma of baking excrement. Plus, you get to pay over $300 for technology that was “designed” and built for less than $2. The “processor” unit was designed in 1967 and allows all the functionality of the most advanced microchip devices of its era. It has both on and off modes. (Note: off mode available only while unplugged.)
To say something positive, the customer support line is manned by kind, well-meaning kids who really do feel badly that you’re having a hard time with your mechanical poo soup maker.
Do yourself a favor and read the whole review here. And then come back and tell me how the hassle of these foul sounding devices is better than scooping cat poop.

I wonder if that cat will find any mice on the space station?
You poor thing…but even with a house full of sickies you can still make me laugh. Booked the room, registered, and ready to party at Blogher.

Taking turns with husband, we're on day five with sick teen. Not fun. I feel for you! And I wonder if the crazy inventors make a litter box for rabbits?

First of all, the new version of cat genie does not have the clog problem causing poo soup problems. And with the version that has this, it is very easy to control. I used a laundy Y setup that allowed me to back flush the genie with water and that cleared out every clog I had. Now with the very low cost retrofits, the problems are gone. The water level sensor is changed, the hopper chops finer, and the Genie Hand scoops better. There is also tightening of the bowl to keep more of the litter where it belongs and not in the gears and a bottom cleaner.
