I have my litter box in my upstairs bathroom. It has painted wooden floors. Besides using a little whisk broom and dustpan to pick up the scattered litter, has anyone tried a little vacuum or sweeper? My big sweeper just spits the litter around and makes a bigger mess than the cat. I also tried my sisters little stick broom with no luck and a dustbuster. If anyone knows of a small sweeper that won't spit the litter let me know. Thanks bunches.

I had to use a dropper with this since it was kind of hard to put it in my cat's ears. I cleaned my cats ears first, then I put the R-7M cleaner in her ears. Next, I inserted 10 drops into each...

It is the most economical litter I have ever used. I only put a layer of litter in the pan that will cover half the pan. As the cats use it, it turns to sawdust. When its all dust you dump it....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

Haven't found one yet. Still the best thing to use is the brush/pan to clean up litter. You might try putting a towel or small rug in front of the pan so most of the litter falls on it and you only have to shake the towel in the trash can.

Yep, I have a small Eureka hand held vacuum that is specifically designed to pick up pet hair and bits of litter. It's great, and gets into areas that the larger vacuum can also do (but with a lot more effort.) There are beater brushes to take care of the small carpets around the box, and the whole vacuum is around 14" long.

I have black ceramic tile floors in my bathroom. I had a constant battle with litter and dust. I changed to feline pine...put a rattan mat for wiping their little paws. and voila!! i can do wipe up with a paper towel if they track anything. I luv that stuff!

My Roomba seems to like sweeping up litter. I also have a small Dustbuster for little messes that aren't worth the Roomba's attention. They both work great.

(Sorry to deviate from the original posters question) Do you like the roomba? I really want one. The bird throws her bird seed hulls outside of the cage and I've been wondering if it would pick these up...you think it would? I've been using the Carpet Flick, but go through the refills like crazy.
