The Litterbox Dilema

While shopping on Amazon for a "privacy tent" for Big Fella's litter box, I came upon this review. For you cat lovers, look away. You will not like it. But I think this guys says it all, as far as how I feel about the whole thing!

Our cat Woogums, who had sustained a pellet wound to the rear flank (neighborhood sources claim that he was 'pinged in the ass'), was unable to remain in the cat privacy tent due to what we believed was claustrophobic paranoia as a result of acute traumatic stress disorder.

Our cats, unfortunately, were shot at by local anti-feline vigilantes acting against the common and widespread practice of cats being let out by their human servants to roam the neighborhood so they can maim and kill smaller animals, urinate on and leave their kitty footprints all over freshly washed automobiles and generally make malicious pests of themselves. We learned from the experience and no longer allowed our cats outdoors, as our practice of feeding them expensive foods in crystal goblets make their hunting instincts unnecessary and an annoyance to those who are not fond of cats.

We decided to return the expensive litter box and 'cat privacy tent' and have Woogums euthanized by a local farmer with a cheap pellet gun who had offered his services when we first acquired Woogums. We were pleased that he did not charge for the euthanasia.

As we discovered later, the farmer was a poor shot and only managed to despatch Woogums after one hundred and sixteen shots (most of which appeared randomly placed over Woogums' body, but we were assured that no pellets missed the cat entirely), the killing shot having been administered down and into the left ear.

We are grieving poor Woogums' demise now, but we feel it is important to inform other purchasers of this product that it is poorly made and extremely overpriced. It is much cheaper and infinitely wiser to simply have the cat euthanized by a skilled practitioner, thus obviating the need for further expenditures upon it.
