Enclosed "Sandy Beach!"

[sirrahbed]

After reading about all the ideas for containing cat litter and avoiding the dreaded sandy beach, I headed to Wal-Mart to see what I could find. I bought the biggest strorage container I could find. I think it holds about 20 gallons. It is 39 inches long and 18 inches wide, about 15 inches tall. Well, right away the kitties knew it had something to do with them.

I added 42 pounds of Fresh Step and placed it in the usual spot where three large boxes used to be

Of course, a sandy beach needs a bit of atmosphere, so I added that, too.

Isn't this inviting?

Well, it must be pretty inviting because all three kitties have already made waves, been digging for something and even made a few deposits on the beach
Sorry, no pictures of that Of course, I can get some if you'd really LIKE some
Seriously though, I think this is going to work out well. I did keep one regular box filled in case they decide they prefer the old standby. Also, the kittens will need the smaller box of course. Hopefully I can walk into my laundry room barefoot in the morning without the ole beach effect.

ROFLMAO!!! That is hysterical. I love the "atmosphere" you added. All that is missing is the cabana!

You'll have to let me know how that works out. I may have to give it a try if all goes well.

I can hear the Muzak in the background......

Why, it's Van Halen's 'Beautiful Girl'!!!


She was a-seaside sittin'
Just a-smokin' and a-drinkin' on ringside
On top of the world, oh yeah
She had her drink in her hand
She had her toes in the sand and whoa! Ha, ha
What a beautiful girl, ah yeah

Is that a washed up 'log' on the beach????

[catcrazylady]

OK!!! I just spit water all over the computer!!!!!!!!!! ROFLMBOH!!!! (the H stands for hysterically!!)

Good Grief Debbie!!!! Talk about spoiled kitties! They have their very own private and VERY contained sandy beach! That is too funny!
Now all you need to add is a beach towel so they can *cough* dry off!!
I'm dying to know if this works. I'll have to check back later if I can stop laughing long enough for my eyes to quit watering!!!

LOL LOL You pretty much summed it up for me there, catcrazylady!

ROTFL...thanks for the laugh this afternoon sirrahbed!

Did you say 42 pounds of cat litter!!

[catnapper]

ROTFLMBOH (I like the H added by CCL)

Debbie, that is one super duper looking beach! I think even Allen would approve.

I'm wondering what the clerk at Walmart thought about you buying a dozen boxes of Fresh Step!

What is a paw point?

[sirrahbed]

Like S&H green stamps When you buy Fresh Step, you get "Paw Points". I have about 280 now and when I get 400 I will get a snuggle sack Or, you can get free food, toys, etc. You can also give ASPCA donations but the value is not very good in my opinion.

That's Hilarious!!! LOL

I hope it works out.

[Catsnclay]

Oh I love the "beach"!! And yes, I did hear the Van Halen tune in the background!! (Thanks Richard, I will now have that tune stuck in my head for a while - )

I have always wondered what my cats would do with a HUGE litter box

Ok, is this the part where I get to whine??!! Can we pleeese see pictures of kitties IN the box??!! PLUEESE ( I know, that's lame. I need some more lessons.)

[nibblets]

hahahahaha that is too clever! Next they will be wanting a pool to dip their little toesies in.

TOO CUTE, Debbie ... glad to see someone trying Lorraine's idea! I know my kitties love to jump in boxes, the deeper the better .... this might actually work!!!
