best way to have cats in our 38' HR Neptune
Good morning.... I wish that "the wife" (Peggy) would ask this question, but I love our two furry friends (cats) and we are trying to figure out how to handle the poop box...I noticed (in a book) ...

The shower has some seious downsides.... first, you have to be careful of getting litter in the plumbing. Then there's the ick factor if any is left in the shower when you get in. Not to mention the hassle of having to disassemble the cats' potty every day to take a shower, clean it out, shower, dry it out, and re-assemble. I'd find another spot.
As far as tracking, the "fake grass" kind of door mats... not the green carpet but the deeper plastic grass stuff... placed in between the litter box and the rest of the rig... will do a great deal to reduce tracking. More than anything else I've ever tried, including commercial "litter traps," most of which the cats won't walk on anyway.
It knocks the vast majority of the litter loose, and the depth of the pile keeps them from picking it back up. Clean up is easy, bend in half and pour funnel the litter trapped inside into an appropriate container or back into the box. For messier situations a hose works nicely.
Also, baking soda may have been "mom's secret" as the commercial says, but it works just as well today. I add a couple tablespoons to each (large) litterbox three times a week snd notice a big improvement in odor control. Easy and cheap and in a small space, air quality improvements are always welcome.
