I used the tall one of these recycling bins from ikea:



And cut a 12 inch hole in the top, and carpeted the top surface and also that little angled flap. That was the litter box for my cats. I could open the flap for quick cleaning or take the whole lid off for deep cleans, and the cats didn't shoot litter halfway across the room when exiting like they would with a traditional box. One of my cats would poop and then wind up and launch out of the litter box as fast as possible, like her newly-formed poop was a monster that would attack her or something. This would launch litter ten feet away or more. The angled bit made it easier to teach the cats about the new box, because they got an additional "step" to assist in entry if they didn't want to jump as high.

What the heck is going on with the stairs there?

I built a cat bridge between the one basement stair tread and the window ledge (that is behind me). I remove it to change the boxes.

Until we acquired Thing 1 and Thing 2, it was fine to just slide it across the stair tread & balance it there temporarily.

Then Dorian, the gray maroon there, couldn't resist walking down it and unbalancing it, so that it would slide off & create havoc (it hadn't happened yet, but he shifted weight about 3-seconds after this picture was taken).

A year & a half on, the dumb gently caress still does it, even though he falls off every. single. time.

Now, it lays elsewhere during box cleaning

I've worked with a cat rescue nonprofit in my county. My wife and I have rescued and fostered just a handful of cats; at our peak, we had seven cats in our home, which seemed like a ridiculous amount of cats to us.

But when we'd bring cats to the adoption weekends at the local pet store, we'd hang out with the other fosters, and our coordinator, and... my god. Some of these people had ten, fifteen cats in their homes. And the lady who runs the org? She's got a big house in a rich neighborhood, OK, she's got fencing around the property so some of the cats can be outside, cool, there's a lot of cats in kennel type situations, fine fine, but the total? 60+ cats at any given time. She spends multiple hours per day just dealing with feeding them and scooping kitty litter and administering medications. You show up at her place and there's always several cats outside, you go into her kitchen area where she used to run the free clinic and there's more cats wandering in and out, there's just cats everywhere. I love cats, but holy poo poo.

Somehow she managed to not be living in squalor. Probably a combination of insane levels of energy, and being rich. But jesus loving christ, sixty cats in your home. Not like those crazy cat people who have a colony of cats in their neighborhood, who use their house as a locus of getting food, but mostly wander free: sixty cats confined to your house and maybe a couple thousand square feet of yard? Can you imagine?

So yeah now when I hear about someone with 15 cats or something, it totally doesn't phase me at all. I've had seven cats in 1200 square feet of home before and we kept the place clean and healthy for them. If you have a big house you can totally do 15. Especially if a bunch of them are kittens, and if you don't have kids living at home so you have spare bedrooms to use for quarrantine etc.

My wife sometimes works with a rabbit rescue group in our area, and they have a house full of rabbits. It's not really bad because the rabbits are kept in pens most of the time, and there's a regular crew of volunteers to keep the place clean and the rabbits fed and comfortable. There's no way you could just let them run loose because rabbits have zero loving tolerance for anyone moving in on their territory (you've all seen Watership Down, I assume).

when I used to paint houses, the most common type of client to get was somebody trying to sell their house & sprucing up their property before listing it. So every time we would go out to the job, they wanted it to look good in a house listing on Zillow but didn't care if it wasn't as advertised otherwise. That meant a lot of effort making sure the front of the house looked good but little out-of-the-way corners of the trim or the siding were ignored

Somebody joked about this, but there was an episode of Forensic Files where the killer glued a rug to the floor when he was unable up get the blood spots up. He was like "unless the rug slips no one will notice. Even if police search the place what are the chances they'll lift the rugs?" He was caught and convicted.

My house was like this but I didn't care because I was ripping it all out anyway. They decorated it in the worst beige-paint-shiny-wallpaper crap and then threw the paint cans into the bushes behind the garden.

It's a lot like how spy gear gets found. During the cold war both sides were really ingenious about items they could hide things in, the problem was leaving them in inappropriate places.

The big example I remember was there was a tube of grease, that for all intents and purposes was indistinguishable, it looked, felt and acted like one, you could even squeeze grease out of it. The idiots who had it, kept it on a bedroom nightstand.

Guys, where do I buy more Super Normal Totally Not Spy Bedside Table brand grease? It's really doing the trick on my chapped winter lips. Always the problem with dollar store stuff, once you find a thing you like they'll never carry it again.

I also liked the Not a Gun lip balm.

A grand in revenue or in profit? Neither is good but I'd expect to pay a hell of a lot more than $1000 for anything that takes a month. Per person.
