If you didn't scoop the litterbox, would someone else do it?

Usually I am the only scooper.

When my mother comes to visit the first place she stops is the bathroom. If there is something in the box she will scoop for me. She jokes about Chester leaving prizes for “Grandmaâ€.

I'm a no.

B vomits at the site of human animal waste...or so he says. I attempted last week to show him Luna's poo issues because I was getting frustrated having to describe it. Nope wouldn't see it. Said he would rather pick my hair out of the drain than look at the site of that. Which he hates the site of my hair in the drain...
Besides if I didn't do it, the litter box would only be cleaned once a week. Now that's


Somedays though I wish he would...that was gross the 3 days I was gone in DC.

Somedays

Yep, I totally change each litter box twice a week, and scoop every other day. My housemate is very accomidating and tends to get to it before I have a chance. But I do all the cooking around here, and wash his clothes. I think he took our deal of I'll cook and you can wash the dishes a bit far......
Not that I'm complaining of course.

No, no one else scoops! I can get dd to scoop if I really press her, but she does not do it without being asked. Usually dh takes good care of everyone when I am gone, but I recently left for 6 days and he didn't scoop ONCE! I do not know how he handled the smell, or why the kitties didn't poo everywhere. With 4 cats using 5 litterboxes, it was pretty gross. I do not know how he even used the bathroom with 2 litterboxes in it!

I can say that the kits have favorite litterboxes, but by the time I got home, even the two that are generally never used were full! PEW!

Yeah, if I didn't do the boxes, they'd never get done. Well, maybe if I was sick or otherwise incapacitated, they might. But other than that, no. I am the pooper scooper around here. Besides, I do a better job than my fiance. hehe

I think we all need a litterbox fairy ever now and then.

No one else would scoop the poop!! Hubby wouldn't dare touch it!! He says it's disgusting!!

Ya know, Shannon, I bet if you just lifted the litterbox lids & left them where the dogs could get to them, they'd be clean in a hurry!

I'm the only scooper in our house. Hubby covers the poops left on display, drives me nuts he may as well just scoop it out!

It's just me and the kitty's (and the dogs) so there is no one else to do it! Although if for some reason I couldn't do it, I suppose my Mom or my sister would come over....maybe

Nope!! Unless I am on vacation my mom MIGHT do it. The last time she said she just couldn't bring herself to do it. I leave an extra box when I go out of town so that she doesn't have to go in a stinky box.
