"God" doesn't want me to clean the litter boxes anymore..

Last week, as I was washing them (outside of course)...a BEE stung me on the neck (Ouchieeeee)..

Today, as I washed them again.. a godammned WASP, crawled UP MY PANT LEG AND STUNG ME ON MY CALF..


If I didn;t have so many cats, I think I would go to the disposable ones :(..

I hadn't been stung in over 30 years, and now ..twice in a week.. WTF :wtf:

1. I'd go with the message.

Then again, I'm not a cat fan. Sorry!

Are you okay? I assume you aren't allergic. That would be bad.

3. I'm not allergic, but my youngest son IS..

He carried an epi-pen for years.. he almost lost his arm when he was 4...from a wasp sting:(

4. Yikes! Such allergies are soooo scary.

2. The Changing of the Litter is a holy sacrament

in the Church of the Big Giant Cat.

Apologize to the BGC. :P

5. my cats insist I do

They remind me by throwing it everywhere as much as they can :mad:

6. Mine like t be the FIRST one in a fresh box.. and they ROLL in it

Thankfully, they only do it when it's fresh :)

8. Try a lid! I actually had to cut the top off the lids I bought,

but they don't kick it out anymore!

11. it does have a lid

They go inside it and launch the litter out the front door. I was thinking of getting one of those self cleaning boxes but I heard they suck.

7. SoCal, SoCal, make life easy on yourself: use heavy-duty garbage bags as

box liners. We have 5 boxes (1 per cat) and the whole process takes me about 10 minutes. All I do is put the litter pan inside the plastic garbage bag, making sure to keep it flush against one of the corners at the bottom of the bag. Next, I put the pan and bag on the floor, smooth down the bag in the bottom of the pan, and fill the pan halfway with litter.

To clean it up each week, all I do is pull the underside of the bag (against the bottom of the pan) up and over the back of the pan, basically turning it inside out. I tighten the top and pitch it.

Granted, this isn't the most ecologically friendly way to do it, but it beats all that washing!

10. My babies have the sharpest claws on earth, and they DIG

like they are going to center of the earth.. They would shred a bag..

The boys have LOUSY aim, and often hang their "business end" outside the box..

we have tried all kinds of boxes and litter..I have tried putting papers under the boxes..etc..

have even used the tall storage boxes instead of litter boxes, but we have a few older ones who cannot hop into the box...

bought the ones with the strainer thingie inside it, and they hook their claws into the mesh, and drag it to the surface..

My babies are compulsive "coverers", and will pretend on the tile surrounding the boxes..

12. Wow. You have some serious cat issues.

Okay, I don't know what else to suggest.

9. Maybe try going with

some wasp repellant or killer. Sounds like they have it in for you. A person can become allergic to bees and the like even if they weren't before. The critters know that too. I'd try to make them move. Of course, cajoling and conning and begging won't work. Usually have to resort to something drastic. I have to admit, Lowe's did have this all natural thing that came in a bag and stunk to high heaven. You put water in it and hung the bag up. Bugs will go there instead of up your pants. Once trapped, you can move them, if you are of a mind, or just change the thing when it's full or something. That's up to you.

15. You READ my FREAKING MIND!

Of course, he just told me personally. :)
