What dreaded, or just disliked, task awaits you today?

  Work, laundry, the usual stuff.  But I'm going to tackle it with the right attitude!

Bathing my youngest cat

['andersom']

What did it do that you need to bathe it?

[Charlotte Quin]

He can't use the litter tray properly so he gets rather pungent . I bathe him once every several weeks.

['andersom']

Ewwww. Have you tried different litterbox filling or different food?

[Charlotte Quin]

He smells of pee, not poo. He pees on the laundry tiles just outside the litter tray sometimes (hence the need to mop the floor tomorrow too) and gets the wetness on his fur when he squats down 

What I really need is a properly powerful enzymatic cleaning chemical for the floor, but the Urine-Off stuff costs like $90 for a gallon bottle.

How big is your cat-litter tray? Would a bigger one be of help for him?

  It's late at night here, so there are no tasks left.  I'm going to have a late dinner soon.

Homework....so...I am not going to do any! I did a fair bit yesterday so that can suffice.

Mine would spray in the box and every box I bought didn't have sides tall enough to contain it. Even tried the hooded boxes and the seam would start leaking in the center. 

Finally made a box out of a great big rubbermaid storage tote by cutting an opening in the side for him to climb in. Best box ever.

  I've seen covered boxes, too, for those who don't want to mess with cutting tools.

I've got a covered litterbox with a door. Bought the biggest there was, because Sirius was such a clumsy perfectionist on the regular sized one. His size combined with his clumsiness just did make that one way too small for him. He'd be scratching for ages before dropping the items and then scratch for ages again, attempting to cover the shit.
Bigger box made him behave like an ordinary cat. And we did not have loads of grit scooped everywhere because of his excessive scratching anymore.

3 overlapping online meetings.

grading really bad papers:

"The HSP needs to decide what the family needs and assess to situation. A coma would be a good place to go as well."

I can't even figure out what they meant.

  Preferably before having to grade any more papers like that one.
