    My wife spent her bonus money her work gave her for passing a certification exam on a self cleaning litter robot for the cats.

    I can connect to it from my phone and it has a graph showing how many times it's been used each day. Not sure how useful this is, but I guess I'll know when the cats are feeling constipated.

    It was bloody annoying getting the darn litter box connected.to the internet at first, but now it is, I can check the cats pooping schedule from anywhere in the world... Because that's useful information.

    It's zelf cleaning innit.

    I can only presume it goes upstairs and dumps it on their bed.

    even cats are too lazy to go do it themselves now it seems.

    they are fine with being on milks onlyfan's page for cat poo lovers but actually walking upstairs... bit of a faff.

    The whole contraption looks a bit like a washing machine. You can set a time from five to fifteen minutes... After they get out the inside drum will rotate once the timer completes. (Unless another cat gets in, then the timer starts again). As drum rotates unclamped litter goes through mesh into holding container and leaves poo and pee clumps behind.

    Once the inside drum has turned half way there is a hole in it that drops into a tray below that has a plastic bag in it. It then rotates back again and clean litter drops back down into bottom of drum again.

    When the tray is nearly full it sends a notification to your phone to dump the tray out, so pick up the plastic bag and you throw it away.


    Only pooped once still today... But they used it several times yesterday.

    I was torn between giving the alias "The ****e House" and "Machu Peepoo". Ultimately, I went with "The ****e house" because it sounded more mature and grown up. :bandit:

    In food and belly rubs. But not while they're working.

    Ever get the feeling technology goes a little too far on occasion?

    one has to ask the question;

    cats really ought to be outside hunting.

    where would said ****ish little vermin **** without said contraption?

    Don't tell me you all them to **** indoors all the time, How on earth are you going to blind your neighbours children if you don't make them poo in their garden like the rest of civilisation?

    Absolutely. I think it's more than a little absurd, but it was my wife's bonus and I wasn't going to tell her what to do with it... The chore of cleaning litter boxes has been on the rotation list for the kids each week and they always do a terrible job... So hopefully this will help.

    Only one goes outside. She was a stray that showed up on our doorstep pregnant and begging to come in one summer morning. She's never adapted to being an inside cat.

    The others stay inside mostly because the HOA at our last house only let you have outdoor cats if they stayed on your property. <laugh>. It's not easy explaining to a cat he's only allowed.to go up to the fence and no further. We got threatened with a lien on our house about the stray cat that showed up. We put it out when the kittens were grown but we told by the neighbourhood to take it back in.

    We're in the middle of the woods now with no HOA... But 1) the cats who have been inside their whole lives don't want to go out. Leave the doors open and they'll just stare out but have no intention of going out. 2) the oldest is 10 and I'm sure has no outdoor smarts after being a lazy fat housecat his entire life. With coyotes, eagles, bobcats, stray dogs, etc, outside it's not a good time to start letting the older ones out.

    No worse than letting them out in Toxteth.

    Right boys and girls

    Growing up in Liverpool, as soon as you entered someone else's house, you where family, make your self a butty, get your self a drink, do what you want as long as your respectful, oh and you clean up after yourself

    My dad was your dad, mum's where everyone's mums.

    Now I live in Cumbria, I think it different and I can't get used to it.

    If my boy brings his mate round he gets dinner, but apparently I'm supposed to ask his parents if it's OK.

    If I'm talking my kids out, there friends are welcome and I will pay, imtaking them, so I'll pay, I've invited them so I know the cost, I dont expect you to pay for my idea.

    I'm struggling with the etiquette

    Think it's more the way of the world mate. Growing up it was like you describe for me too, I've not moved (not far anyway) but it's totally different now

    Odd innit. Our house is like yours. Some folk act like it's odd you'd let kids eat in yous cos tbh I reckon a lot don't remember that it was like when your mam knew your mate would get a tea but then it's now like that today again
