Review: LitterMaid Automatic Litter Pan, part 2

Over time, I have somewhat revised my opinion of the noisy potty.

Iago, being eternally curious and too stupid to know any better, decided to start using it, so I observed from a safe distance. The potty did not eat him, so eventually I decided to give it a try.

I emerged victorious, but suspicious. It still moves without warning, in no discernible pattern. So I use it sparingly, and occasionally go beside it when it is lying unusually quiet, because I know then that it’s just waiting for me to step inside to meet my final doom.

Then a new addition appeared on the potty scene: the pee pad. It is a flat white cloth with a blue border that lies flat on the floor. It’s quite nice to go on, although it doesn’t work as well when I try to bury my business. I was fine with this new addition, which allowed me to avoid the evil potty, until one day I saw the package sitting on the floor.

It had a picture of a dog on it. A DOG!

Friends, this is the final insult.  I’m not sure which I find most irritating: the fact that my humans are giving me something created for a DOG, or the fact that these perfectly fine pee pads exist and no one wants to offer them to us cats.

I expressed my displeasure by peeing beside the pad, and then sweeping it over the puddle. Enjoy, you mindless bipeds.
