Well now, let me tell ya somethin’ about scoopin’ cat poop. You gotta have a good scoop, or you’re just gonna make a big mess, and nobody wants that, right?
First off, ya need somethin’ sturdy. Them plastic scoops, they break easy. You’re diggin’ around in that litter box, and snap! There goes your scoop, and you’re stuck with a handful of… well, you know. So, I say, get yourself a metal one. A good metal scoop will last ya a long time.
- Strong is good, ain’t no one wants a flimsy scoop that’s gonna break after a few uses.
- Easy to clean is important too. You don’t wanna be fussin’ with a scoop that’s got all sorts of gunk stuck to it, do ya?
- And them holes in the scoop, they gotta be just right. Too big, and the good litter falls through. Too small, and you ain’t gettin’ all the poop out.
Now, some folks like them scoops with the big holes, and some folks like the ones with the little holes. Me? I like the ones with the little holes, close together. That way, I know I’m gettin’ all the clumps out, and I ain’t wastin’ good litter. Litter ain’t cheap, ya know!
I seen some scoops that are made outta stainless steel. Them are real good ones, cause they don’t get all scratched up. When them plastic ones get scratched up, that’s where all the nasty stuff hides, and then your litter box starts smellin’ bad. And nobody wants a stinky litter box, no sir!
There’s this one scoop I heard about, the DuraScoop. Folks say it’s real strong. They got a regular size one and a big jumbo one. If you got a lot of cats, maybe that jumbo one is the way to go. But for just one or two cats, the regular one is probably just fine. You gotta figure out what’s right for you.
And another thing, you gotta clean that scoop regular. I mean, you’re usin’ it to scoop poop, for cryin’ out loud! You wouldn’t use a dirty spoon to eat your dinner, would ya? Well, it’s the same kinda thing with the cat scoop. Wash it good with some soap and water, and maybe even bleach it every now and then to kill all them germs.
Some folks say you should scoop the litter box every day. Well, I ain’t always got time for that, but I try to do it every other day at least. You let that stuff sit in there too long, and it’s gonna start smellin’ up the whole house. And then you got a real problem on your hands.
Now, when you’re scoopin’, you gotta have a bag or somethin’ to put the poop in. I just use an old grocery bag, but you can buy them fancy little poop bags if you want. Just make sure you tie it up tight so the smell don’t get out. And don’t forget to wash your hands good when you’re done! You don’t wanna be walkin’ around smellin’ like cat poop, do ya?
You can go on Amazon or wherever and find all sorts of scoops. Some cheap, some not so cheap. But like I said, get a good metal one, and it’ll last ya. Don’t go buyin’ some flimsy piece of junk just to save a few pennies. You’ll just end up buyin’ another one in a few weeks anyway. Spend a little extra money now, and you’ll save yourself some trouble in the long run.
So, there ya have it. That’s all I know about cat litter scoops. It ain’t rocket science, but it’s important if you got cats. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go scoop the litter box. Them cats have been busy!
