The Overflow

After we got back from the doctor's office, I went downstairs to do laundry. The acrid smell was overpowering--I nearly passed out. Yes, the odor of shit beach, the now TWO cat boxes we maintain to keep our cats happy.

To my pleasant surprise, I found two garbage bags full of the excrement from the last time Shawna emptied the box--which was probably right before we went to NYC!

It was so horrible: the clay particles of the litter were all completely soaked, and turds were actively poking out the box. The ammonia smell was so intense.

I can't believe how much effort we put into allowing the cats to crap in the house. They go outside, for cripe's sake! So not only do we have to pay extra to maintain their health due to outside contaminants (worms, fleas & ticks, FELV vaccine, etc.), but we don't even get the benefit of them crapping outside.

I say we have to adjust our cat management strategy: either they stay inside and have the luxury of crapping indoors, or they get to go outside but have to crap there too.
