Litter is probably the biggest issue we had with having a cat. We had two brothers a long time ago that were mature cats when we got them and they were great, but I hated litter duty and my wife wasn't great at staying on top of it at the time. Really sucked when I'd be out of town working for a week and come home to that. That said, my wife is on the hunt for the best robotic litter box.

My wife started that during our foster period. She does well with it for about two nails at a time. So its a daily thing.

Just remember that we as humans we do not own cats...They tolorate us.............. drill sgt.

If your kitty ends up as an I/O cat, your litter box woes may be next to nill. Some cats are good at being I/Os, some aren't, and I don't know how it comes about, except when they spent some part of their life 100% on their own outdoors, and got adopted into a house young. But I don't know if that works 100% of the time.

My Tigers brother lives across the street at a screen printing business. They all love that big boy and he is a very strong cat. He has a automatic water fountain and automatic feeder with a timer you can set. He's at that feeder in a nano second when it drops his food. He comes on my side of the street and beats the hell out of the many feral cats here. The owner has several very large Apple monitors, one of which she plays a video of loads of white mice and there is a peeping audio sound. That big cat sits up on here PC table pawing at the mice. His claws never mark the screen and it's very entertaining to watch him.

We are not planning on her being an outdoor cat. we are pretty sure she's blind in her right eye. We've got plenty of wildlife around and we don't want her out there at a disadvantage.
