Washing the cat toilet


Cats like clean toilets, as much as we humans do.
Both fuzzies do not like to use the toilet when it is filled with poo from the day before.
Hence, it is my job to ensure that the poop gets scooped everyday.
Sometimes i forget.
Or when i am rushing to work, i have no time to scoop, i would ask daddy meow to do it.
He's usually not pleased cos it's my job.

U think pity him, the vomit cleaner - how about me?
Which is more fun - cleaning vomit or scooping poop???

Vomit or poop?
POOP!!!
POOP IS WORSE THAN VOMIT!!

Anyways, due to the rainy days this month, the air's more humid and hence....wet air = damp litter tray.
The usually absorbent litter sand becomes unusually unabsorbent.
And u could never guess how much 2 small animals can pee.
After a while, the litter is all gunky with pee. The sand doesn't clump up and dries off, it just stays moist.
Euww...
Usually i would empty out the sandbox and wash it with Detol every 2 weeks.
But after 1 week only, the litter was just too smelly.
So, i decided to wash it this evening.
The normal signpost when i wash :

Tandas sedang dibasuh. Harap maaf

Idiotically, it is when i start washing their litter tray that the boys want to use their toilet.
Somedays, it's like u see this big gollywog eyes staring at u from outside the bathroom door while u hurriedly scrub and gunk away....
Tension, pressure only....
Big eyes looking with urgency....
Wash faster.....
Sometimes, when i am just scooping poop, Meowz would come up and sit next to me. And wait for me to scoop up everything before going into this tray to do his ablutions.
Sometimes, when it's a bit urgent, he would already have one paw in the tray while i am still scooping.
"Wait Meow, wait...wait!!!"
Two paws in...
"Wait! I am not finished!!!"
Whole body in....
Sigh.

Today's a bit better. Both boys were sleeping comfortably, lulled by the stormy weather.
So i washed without the feeling of being hurried.
After that, i propped their litter tray on the washing trough to air dry whilst i went in to bathe.
An hour later, i came out and Poppy was looking at me one kind.
Oh oh.

I forgot about the litter tray!
Quickly rushed to wipe it dry dry and pour fresh litter sand into it.
Poppy was already at my feet, almost tripping me a few times.
Auw auw auw!!!
Faster mummy, faster....kap liu!!!
When i was holding his tray to lower it onto the bathroom floor, the fuzzy actually stood up like a bear with his paws in that begging mode!
So freaking pitiful!!!
The moment the tray hit the floor, the brown one jumped into it and pissed.....for a very long time.
Daddy meow was laughing.
Lousy mummy.

Now the boys have fresh toilet....till next week.....
