What are red texas wigglers?

If you mean this stuff for litterboxes, I would reconsider. Mulch, yuck, moisture, mold, decomposition, tiny little microorganisms!

Uh, yeah, that. That silly 3D program I couldn't get to work, so scrapped that. Maybe I should just draw it :twisted:

the 3D program is AWESOME...there are LOTS of tutorials on youtube!!
They are actually in a huge testing program for autistic kids and these kids are able to communicate through this software program...I guess because they SEE their thoughts in 3D but never know HOW to translate that into words...

red texas wigglers are tiny little microorganisms...little worms that eat and "recycle" and break down waste...

this would be a litterbox that would be more for the ferals...so they leave other areas alone....of IF I ever create the space for the cats that I would like to, it would be at the corner where the door would open easily to scoop and clean out...

Well, I still would caution against that. Several disease problems with unsanitary stuff, including the soil (crypto, for example).

As for the 3D program, it doesn't do what I want it to do and I have little patience for it. I suppose if I had the time, I could play around more with it, but I could probably draw it out better and faster than a pc program could :?

Can you believe this?! :shock:
My husband suggested that when I get paid at the end of this month (teaching at the college only pays once a month) that I order one of those litter robots!!!!

I think I will check ebay first...they ARE a bit spendy!! But if it works, especially for Callie, I will let you know...

Tambrey - my dau had an automatic litter box*...the prob was that the motor burned out twice cause of the dust even though it is not directly there.
I saw a show where ppl built a new home with a specific pet room. I was awesome...not a cage, but a comfy room with a built in washing station, grate floor area for the cats and high perches for them to climb on - fit for both their cats and dogs. That would be the ultimate. The floor was also tiled and could be hosed down. They could go in and out at will and also stay in there when the ppl were out. Nice!

* her auto box was not a Litter Robot- so maybe that one works well. If you get it let us know!
