Ooh, technology!

Does the attachment attach to anything or is it just attached for the W0W factor?

They're like an Odor Eater for the litter box, the front part of the contraption that the cats walk up and over to get in and out is actually a hood that raises up and the auto rake pushes their solid waste underneath it and then it drops back down when the rake retracts. So it keeps the waste covered and out of the way where they are not stepping in and over it until you scoop it out. It also helps with keeping any unpleasant odor under control while the waste is still, you know, fresh.

The Velcro attachment goes up on the underside of the hood and then the odor absorber thingies have Velcro on one side so you can stick them up under there and then change them out periodically. They're just an additional measure of odor control, I'm not really having too much trouble with that and putting the cat door in may make it a total non-issue but I thought I'd give them a try to see if they really do make that much of a difference.

Waitwaitwait. That's something new. That sounds like a mechanical contrivance, which sounds like something the cats can play with until they break it. Of course I'm probably misunderstanding the whole thing, which would be nothing new, but still...

It is a mechanical contrivance, but there really aren't any exposed parts that the cats can mess with. I guess they could both sit on the hood when it's trying to go up and weigh it down too much, but it's sloped so they can't really sit on it and be comfortable. They just walk over it and if it moves they tend to get off.

They do sometimes get in the box again when the rake is moving but they can't really do anything but paw at it... it just keeps going. Because of the delay they're usually not still in the same room when the rake starts raking so it's rare that it's even an issue.

I don't use the disposable trays, I have a hard plastic permanent one and I do lift up the hood and scoop out the waste every 3-4 days. So far I've only had to completely change the litter about every two weeks or so. Their claim that you can just leave it for weeks at a time is, to say the least, overly optimistic, especially with more than one cat.

Okay, that's pretty neat.

Doctor Who, Season 7 part 2. Bought it to stream to my TV but went through the Subsim link to find it so here's hoping it worked and Neal gets his cut.

I will surely give the amazon link a try the next time I am looking for something. Hafta check out that litter box thingy also..

It should work. I remember Neal saying that somebody's streaming music was just fine.

Bought SH5 not to long ago via the search bar link deal, and also bookmarked it on both my Laptop and Desktop for use whenever I go on amazon binges.

I may not be the most active person, but I've been stalking for ages!
