We gotta new gadget in the hooouuuse! Can I get a ‘woo woot!‘?
Sorry.
It is sad how excited I am for this thing. I have had my eye on the Litter Genie that they sell at Target for well over a month now. Each weekend I’d go into Target, evaluate it, almost buy it, then set it down and walk away. Today, though, before we went to Lincoln I went to their website and read the reviews, and while Lloyd was at choir I finally bought it!
I’d show you a picture of the label, but I spilled coffee all over it getting it out of the car.
It’s basically a Diaper Genie for cats, except the top is square, not round, and it comes with its own scoop and a holster for the scoop. (That’s the big selling point.)
It has an endless bag inside that you tie into a knot like you’re about to make sausage. Well not really, but it’s what it reminds me of.
Our current system is just a garbage can under the sink with the trashcan liner folded and twisted to contain the smell. It does contain it…. until it doesn’t. (The unfinished wood of the countertop’s underside will never be the same.)
There is a spring-loaded trap door inside the Genie. You put the unsuspecting poops inside, tell them your evil master plan, then yank the floor out from under them! Mmmmuuuuuhuuuuuaaahhhhhhaaahhhh!!!
Here it is with no bag, open to below.
Here it is (closed) with the bag threaded through. The trap door pinches it off to contain the smell. We’ll evaluate how well this works in a couple of weeks.
