Cats must certainly break some law of physics...how can they put out

[NRaleighLiberal]

more than they take in? How can they possibly have such a party in their litterbox each and every day with the seemingly small amount that they eat and drink?

it's a miracle!

1. Same here. Especially one of them.

He barely eats his dry food and only licks the goo off of wet food.

But he fills that litter box, but good.

2. Mine shits like a horse

Of course he's 20 lbs, but still. I had to buy a cement mixing trough to use as a litter box.

3. LOL! I have one cat. It is truly amazing what I scoop to what I feed her.

I have just recently been thinking about this ratio and figure some of it must be the swelling of the clumping litter....if not, I think my cat has a problem.

Your use of a cement mixing trough is a hoot!

6. We buy a new one every 3 to 4 months from Home Depot

Lowe's carries one that is not as durable for a 20 lb beast.

7. Mine's a 10 pounder so I can imagine what you're dealing with! Thanks for the info

may pass it on to cat owning friends. I just love the trough idea!

8. I used to use this

but it's too tall for my bathroom.

9. OH! I just missed my mouth with the coffee mug! That is SOooo funny too!

I haven't belly laughed in months....thanks!

10. We become court jesters when it comes to our cats

[snappyturtle]

11. You're so right but that's OK with me after all, who are they going to tell?

Frequently I strike up conversations in the cat food aisle with cat owners pondering and slowly selecting each can of food. It's those type owners I know jump through hoops for their cats. I enjoy swapping cat tales with them. It's amazing what I hear!

12. That's my favorite time during food shopping.

My cat won't eat anything but some obscure brand from Trader Joe's.

[snappyturtle]

13. Me too. Oh how I miss Trader Joe's. nt

14. I quit Whole Foods for TJ's.

Never thought I'd do that.

4. They have some special control over gravity as well - I know when I want to lift or

move mine and she doesn't agree, it takes a lot more effort than her 8-9 pounds would suggest...

5. Cats eat small portions, but they eat constantly

I ought to know. My 20-pound Max is living proof.
