How To Keep Your Cat Happy

Emma and Gigi have their litter box next to the toilet in the master bathroom.

They are very persnickety about it being clean so I have to be persnickety as well.

Every night I empty their litter box.

If I fail to do so, they will wake me up on and off all night attempting to clean it themselves. Then I have to get up and clean the box to get them to stop.

Litter Box Manual.

Open the first drawer in the cabinet and take out two plastic, disposable gloves. Close the first drawer.

Open the second drawer and take out a Zip-Loc bag. Close the second drawer.

Open the third drawer and take out the shovel. Leave the drawer open so you can return the shovel at a later date.

Close the toilet seat.

Get down on your knees.

Put on the gloves.

Open the Zip-Loc and hold it in your left hand.

Using your right hand, scoop the left side of the litter box, from front to back, with the shovel.

Shake the shovel to remove the extra litter.

Empty the waste into the open Zip-Loc.

Scoop the middle of the litter box, from front to back with the shovel.

Shake the shovel to remove the extra litter.

Empty the waste into the open Zip-Loc.

Scoop the right side of the litter box, from front to back with the shovel.

Shake the shovel to remove the extra litter.

Empty the waste into the open Zip-Loc.

Put the shovel in the litter box.

Open the garbage can next to the toilet.

Close the Zip-Loc and toss in the garbage can.

Pick up the mat in front of the litter box and empty it into the litter box.

Using your gloved hand, brush any litter on the floor towards the box.

(Ivanka will vacuum this extra litter on Thursdays when she is her to clean.)

Replace the mat in front of the litter box.

Take off your gloves using the OSHA technique of pulling one glove into the other without touching the exposed part with your hand.

Toss the gloves into the garbage can.

Close the garbage can.

Remember to open the toilet.

If still awake, go to bed now!
