I have to talk to you a little bit about cat bathroom needs, and we're talking about litterboxes. Litterboxes come in many shapes and sizes these days, I think that people in the designer world have gone gaga over litterboxes. You can have litterboxes open, the traditional rectangle size, you can have litterboxes with the hood, which lets the cat climb in it. There are dome-shaped litterboxes, there are litterboxes that blend into your furniture, and they look like a coffee end table but they're actually a litterbox. There are litterboxes that are actually two tiered, there are automatic litter boxes that supposedly self-scoop but there's always a hiccup. As you can see there's lots of choices of litterbox, but I prefer the open litterboxes or the ones with a hood if your cat is going to use it and if you will scoop that litter every day, because if you don't the danger of the hooded litterboxes is that all that odour just gets harboured inside the litterbox, and it stinks, and you know our cats can smell like ten thousand times better than we can, so be polite to them. Keep their bathrooms clean.
