Just say no. After You Curse the Blue Stripe

Okay, to be honest I might have high hopes for this thing. We have a diaper genius, it's great and we've been saying for a long time that we want to use it for our cats too. So yes! Surprise! There's a ghost from the litter! No he does not. There's an outrageously small one that looks like it was designed as a cheap, shoddy version of the Diaper Genie bucket sold as the Litter Genie. It's terrible. I'm not sure how people can put up with this every day, let alone multiple cleanses a day. So *um* Pros (like these): - It has a lid - It's compact - It has a scoop holder on the side Cons (and there are many): - Sliding baffle which keeps odors out (seriously). You've got to pull out that spring-loaded sliding thingy while you're scooping up the dirty trash. Think you could just pick up the junk willy-nilly and end up pulling out the hatch? Think again, this thing doesn't have enough room for more than a spoonful of poo and a spoonful of lumps of trash. If you have a cat with minimal toilet habits, then cheers. If not, you're literally out of luck. The size of the bucket is too small for its "odor containment" purpose to be even remotely useful. The idea is that you can wait before taking out the bin bags because your little bucket will hold back the odors. But this thing fills up if you clean the litter box more than once a day (which I'm just saying you should do). It fills up quickly and you can't tell exactly when it happened until it's too late (see the horrible mess. Diaper Genie bags aren't very strong, but they just hold the diapers, so it works. If they explode, not like that. It's too bad to take a trash bag and contain the spill. I assumed Litter Genie bags would be stronger. I mean, kitty litter isn't a diaper, is it? They aren't. These bags go so damn often broken that my vacuum probably needs attention because it gets made to eat shit all the time the bags break when you try to push the bedding they break when you pull them down to the cutter they go broken when you pick them up, they break when you somehow want to miraculously get to them they're out your door on the way to the bin safe my house has been littered with feces several times yes it's partly mei ne fault I keep animals I literally shit in a box in my house but it is in a box e. They're out there minding their own business and I clean up and we don't make eye contact for a few minutes after that and act like nothing happened. If we don't think about it, we won't go crazy. But the garbage genius spread the cat poop all over the floor of my living room, dining room, lobby, front door, etc. You understand. My cats and I now struggle to ever make eye contact because the proverbial elephant shit is now the focus of our relationship. - This thing doesn't have the convenience of Diaper Genie in terms of opening -- Diaper Genie has a step, you know, because when you've got shit on your hands, you might not want to be juggling, fumbling, and cussing while opening the lid a plastic bucket. Not so Litter Genie. You have to open the lid while scooping, emptying, pulling out the spring-trap scent container and trying to find more expletives to describe the horror of the situation. - It s cheap. It's cheap plastic with an outrageous little spring-loaded trapdoor that you have to pull out while contemplating the life choice that got you to this point: damn the blue stripe for shoveling animal waste into the glorified, over-complicated trash can, which takes forever Three cats are running around waiting to jump in and ruin all your hard work. Would I be mad if I came across this as a fifth grade science fair project? No way. In this case, it is theoretically brilliant. points for creativity. A cheap diaper hack? GREAT! I paid $15 for this thing and another $15 for a pack of 4 refills? You must be (@#*&)*#@% me.No. Just say no. Run away. Buy a cheap little litter box with a pedal operated opening, then put some deodorant on the lid and you'll A) save $$ and B) save yourself from getting angry and hurting the cats in your life.
