"When Kitty Litter Caused a Nuclear Catastrophe"

I always use inorganic kitty litter for my litter box. I don't want the litter box to experience a thermal runaway reaction.

Seriously, stuff like this should be #outlawed and we need actual #ConsumerProtection and #regulation that classifies #PetCare and #PetToys with the same protections as #Toddler #toys.

Because cats being killed by an "automatic #LitterBox" is just the most horrific and inexcuseable product fault there could be.

I got asked about this again so.. If you really want to save some money with your cat's litter box, here's a tip. Use wooden pellets, plus clean them up with a bucket that has holes. In that way all the pellets that are intact can be still used. This way all the pellets during one year can cost only 30-50 euros. You are welcome.

Question for you #cat owners: I'm testing right now the new #Petkit #PurobotUltra self cleaning #litterbox. It's got a camera recording the cats doing their duties including pics of their "products", the machine is self cleaning AND even does the packaging of the waste itself. Super comfortable. What questions would you have rgd. the machine that must not be missed in my #review?

The #kittens do their business in the #litterbox, after a few small accidents earlier.

But why all (almost all) at the same time..? 🤷

#CatsOfMastodon

The switch to solid food seems to be going fine. Black-and-White is munching pellets several times a day, although I haven't seen the other #kittens follow his lead there.

Today I gave #Melian a piece of cheese, rather spicy stuff too. And there was Stripe, he nicked it from his mother and started chewing! So I gave Melian a new piece, but that was confisquated by Black 😎

I haven't seen any wet spots on my trousers again, and I do see a few dark spots in the #litterbox, so apparently the potty-training is coming along nicely too.

#CatsOfMastodon

The #kittens are developing rapidly. They're learning to jump now, and they can run!

And they don't need mom anymore for a wee, only they haven't discovered the real use of the #litterbox yet 🙄

#CatsOfMastodon

I had been warned that #kittens might eat litter, so I'd have to give them the non-clumping stuff. They're biting and chewing on anything they can now, including litter.

And pellets. Yes, the first one has discovered those things can be eaten. Good to see, they're ready to switch to solid food now.

They haven't used the #litterbox for its intended purpose, btw... 🙄

#CatsOfMastodon

The #kittens don't use a #litterbox yet, see this previous post. But they'll have to make the switch some day.

The normal one is too big for them, #Melian would have to lift them in and out. Not sure how that would work.

A friend recommended a small box, small enough to make it useless for Melian, who would make a mess with her fanatic digging...

And also, I'd have to use litter that doesn't clump, because the kittens will probably eat some of it because of their teething. And we don't want little clumps of cement in their stomachs... Good advice, I didn't know that.

I found an empty 5 liter container, cut one side out, and filled it with the non-clumping litter. Looks perfect. So now I put every kitten in it once or twice a day, so they know it's there.

#CatsOfMastodon

The #kittens are more than 3 weeks old now, and starting to explore their environment. They're not very steady on their feet yet, but it's improving rapidly. They play with each other, and even try to run every now and then.

They're also teething, so I expect mother #Melian will stop #suckling soon. She seems to direct them to the food bowl every now and then, as if to invite them to try it. Black-and-white tried his (?) teeth on my finger this morning. And look at the claws of Black in the video, huge for such a small animal...

We're at the start of a new phase, in which the kittens will explore the entire house. I hope mom can teach them to use the #litterbox quickly, I've moved it back to its original place in the kitchen: pretty close to their box.

Cat fediverse, I have a question about litter boxes!

When my cat is using the litter box, I tend to look away from her. My thinking is "When I'm pooping, I wouldn't want some creepy human watching me."

But am I just anthropomorphizing? When I use my toilet at home, my cat does watch me, and if I check my phone while on the toilet she meows for attention. Might she actually want me to watch her use the litter box?

What do y'all think? Are there any actual scientific studies on this I could read?

Det finns en mängd klienter för Fediversum. De flesta är gjorda för att fungera med Mastodon, men de fungerar ofta även med andra programvaror. En del klienter fungerar via webbläsaren, andra är programvaror och appar för datorer, telefoner och läsplattor. Detta är ett inlägg om mina tester av några webbläsarklienter för Fediversum.

The #kittens are doing fine, as is mom.

I've changed the #nursery box, so the foul smell is gone. I weighed all four, and was glad to see that each of them was well over the minimum of 100 grams that they should be. Tried the colour coding with a bit of nailpolish on the tips of their tails, but that doesn't seem to work well. There's a hint of blue on one, but the rest is clean again...

Had an unpleasant incident yesterday evening. Mother #Melian came down the stairs, walked into my bathroom... and took a huge dump on the rug! The smell!! 🤢

Took me a while to realize what had happened. I had been advised to make sure she had everything she needed in the #nursery room, so I had put her #litterbox there too. I think she didn't want that smelly stuff near her kittens, evolution has probably taught cats that that could alert predators.

So I've put the litterbox back where it had been until she gave birth. Live and learn...

The kittens are alive and kicking, and mom seems happy too:

A drawing of a cat sitting in a litter box, with an arrow pointing to the lower left corner indicating "LAVA."

"Haha, might as well just say Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn."

[Cthulhu shows up.] "You called?"

"Er... no. I was joking."

"Well, you did say the R'lyeh verse. That's how you invoke me."

"I was just kidding, man!"

"I'm not a man. I'm a God!"

"Whatever!"

"So what do you want me to do?"

"I don't know. I was just joking."

"Give me a task."

"Jeez. Alright! Empty the cat litter box."

"What? I could give you anything! Smite your enemies! Provide you with a mate!"

"You heard me!"

" 🤬 "
