Twitter Thread: Buying An Expensive Self-Cleaning Litter Box For Cat Turns Out To Be Hissterically Useless

In the life of a cat owner, you will have many moments in which you'll be scrolling online or walking through a pet store and see something expensive that looks amazing. "My cat will love this!" you think to yourself, full of hope and excitement. And every cat person will learn - the hard way - that cats don't care about money at all. Cats will choose literally anything over an expensive cat tree - they'll sit on your face before they get on the tree. Cats will choose cheap toys over anything expensive any day. Literally, give them a hair tie, and they'll be super happy. 

And if you think: "But my cat looks so grumpy all the time, I must get it more things!", you're wrong, we promise. Cats are just overly spoiled and confused so they complain to the walls every day about things that don't matter. There's no point in buying them anything expensive. They won't cooperate. And this twitter user indeed had to learn that the hard way.

    Honestly, this might be one of the most amazing ways that we have ever seen a cat use a litter box. We've seen cats sticking their faces our as they poop, we've seen cats walk in and out of the litter box multiple times post-poop to check if everything is okay in it. We've even seen cats zoom out of a litter box to clean their poops off on our carpet. But, we have never seen a cat do this. So, we can only thank you for showing it to us.

    You know, this person is technically not wrong. In a literal capacity, it seems that this self-cleaning litter box is indeed doing the thing that the package promised that it would do. Can't return it for this issue, that's for sure.

    Font - Effel @flcro Replying to @SpotTheLoon2010 The cat is in the litter tray and has all four paws in litter. It clearly feels it's done all that's required of it. 12:42 PM - Jul 23, 2022 - Twitter for iPad

    Font - Adrian Rose @Adrian66228674 ... Replying to @SpotTheLoon2010 Actually, I think that has more to say about your sand. My cat used to do that until I started using perfume and dye free sand. Some cats won't go where they can't smell themselves. It's a territorial thing. 10:51 PM - Jul 23, 2022 - Twitter for Android

    Font - Will @CatalinaAndOleo Replying to @SpotTheLoon2010 Hmm. My cat didn't do this until he got older. It turned out he was diabetic (and overweight). As soon as we got his weight under control, the "accidents" stopped. Vet told us this can be negative behavior based on anxiety or illness. 7:12 AM - Jul 23, 2022. Twitter for iPad

    Font - SilentCat (ChrisD) @ChrisD74710126 Replying to @SpotTheLoon2010 If this is your cat's usual pattern, getting inside the litter box but facing the back and peeing out the front, I'm going to second the advice for placing a pee pad there. 11:52 PM - Jul 22, 2022- Twitter Web App

    Font - Greatest Peter Hoskins @PeterH314 Replying to @SpotTheLoon2010 I can fully understand this, we have four cats, 3 of them male, the older one does this every few weeks. I put paper outside the front of the box, it helps. 2:36 AM - Jul 22, 2022 - Twitter for iPad
