      <description><![CDATA[shelters use good mews litter (recycled newspaper) so it is not scented.  Lots of cats don't like trying to find a place in clumping litter that is not clumped.  With good mews you clean the whole thing once a week (or more) on top of daily cleaning of #2.  You can put baking soda underneath for odor control. Best part - it is all recyclable - can be used in your garden as mulch.  Plants will grow better and soil is better fertilized.  We have a container we put it in (old litter container) that snaps shut with liner so smell is kept down.  Also tracking is 99% better than clay litter.  cheaper as well.  We have a mat comparable to shelving paper (but plastic litter mat) outside and underneath that you can clean and vacuum.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I've got a shredder too, but don't much use it.  It cost $20 at a garage sale, and if something really bad is going to the dump, I plug in the shredder and take a minute or two to shred the items--making sure of course to scan them first for future info.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I used to just spray paint papers with personal information, but that was messy and the wind had to be right, so the paint didn't end up on my car windshield or a neighbor's car windshield.  Now, I use papers with personal information to line traps that I set to catch feral cats for fixing.  The cats usually remain inside the trap overnight, prior to being fixed, often shredding the paper to create a sleeping nest (no need to purchase a shredder or waste power in electric shredding.  Talk about me green!) or the cat urinates upon personal information paper in the night, which is just as good.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Oh yeah, if you see the same dogs around there all the time,throw in a couple of valiums.  Probably won't see them hanging around for a day or two unless it kicks in quick and they are sleeping by the bins.  If it turns out to be bears, instead of dogs, you may need a thirty thirty and a conversation officer, who will just end up shoot them anyway.  I call them extermination officers up here.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Dogs, in my experience just love to chow down on anything in a cat's litter box.  If you used metal containers with lids that can be closed and sealed will prevent your problem or at least lessen it.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[At least two questions come to mind:<br />
<br />
(1)  What if you use flushable litter?<br />
<br />
(2)  On some occasions after I have put the trash outside, I have discovered that something (neighborhood dogs?  wild animals?) has torn the bag(s) open specifically to get at the used litter, suggesting that in at least some cases the yucky used litter does not serve as a repellant but rather as an attractant.  I doubt that the neighbors who own the dogs would appreciate their dogs coming home high on drugs, nor do I want to find tipsy possum or racoons wandering around my yard (the presumably sober ones are bad enough)<br />
<br />
At least it's not a current cause for concern here, since it's been some time since I had any leftover prescription medicine . . .]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Actually I was working for a company that cleaned houses in town.  I saw an awesome litter box that apparently you don't even have to touch. I made a point of checking them out the next time we were in the city:  Hell will freeze over before I spend $300 for a litter box.  I did settle on one for thirty dollars though.<br />
This method has one litter box that sits inside of another; then there is another level which is a type of screen I guess you would call it.  The idea with this is that you put all three together and when it is time to change the litter, you lift up the screen and give it a few shakes to return the unused litter into the acutual box; dump contents of screen into garbage; pour unused litter into clean box; clean the used box and screen and put the whole thing back together.  What a crock and a waste of $30.<br />
I think I'll stick with the scooper that worked just fine with none of all the above extra.  When I don't feel like doing even that, double garbage bag and dump everything.<br />
So much for the advantages of living in the 'enlightened' age.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[We just scoop soiled litter clumps into an old plastic bag....from bread or chips or whatever.  We keep an empty litter bucket near the litter boxes and collect the bags of used litter in that before disposing of it.  Since the lid snaps shut, it keeps any odor down and also keeps the cats from investigating it.  Why they would want to, I don't know but I have some wierd ones!  :)<br />

      <description><![CDATA[My problem with litter boxes is that the plastic I use ALWAYS gets shredded by Mars. By the time it's ready for the trash can it's tattered and torn and barely holds the litter. the bottom of my trash can is caked over solid with...never mind, it's too disgusting to talk about. But if anyone has any clues how to better handle the box, I'm all ears. MM]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I heard that on the radio this morning! <br />
<br />
I've been using the bags of used kitty litter as a disposal spot for some of the papers containing personal info. I usually tear it a couple of times, then put it in the bottom of the bag, then scoop 4 litter boxes-worth of used litter into the bag.<br />
<br />
That bag goes inside a trash bag ... I figure that if someone does make it that far, the paper won't be in very good shape :)<br />
<br />
My dad always said you can't stop people from doing bad things (like stealing drugs, breaking into your house, etc.) but you can make it harder, so they might just move on to an easier target.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Saw this on the web this week. I always flush mine down the toilet. Bad boy, Mark. What amazes me is the lengths people go to get this stuff. If they are that desperate, do you think a little cat pee will stop them?<br />
