Does Your Cat Flush?

I recently read an advertisement that cracked me up. It was for the Cat Genie, the world’s only self-flushing, self-washing cat box. It even looks a bit like a small toilet. This is an ingenious cat box for those who love cats but hate cat boxes. It is supposed to be litter, odor, germ, dust, and work free. Instead of cat litter, this device uses “washable granules.” Okay, so who gets to wash those little babies? You do, of course. You didn’t really expect the cat to do it, did you? But once you get this baby all set up and hooked into your cold water line, all you have to do is push a button. Well, not quite. You have to also hook it up to the toilet or laundry drain and plug it in.
Now you can push the button or preset it to start cleaning automatically. The liquids drain through the granules and solid waste gets scooped. Hold on! You don’t have to do the scoop. It has a built in pooper scooper. After those little goodies get scooped, they are liquified and down the drain they go. Now the washable granules get washed, scrubbed, scoured and blow dried for your cat’s comfort.
Doesn’t this sound like something you want to own? It’s easy. It’s also an amazing bargain. All you have to do is fork over $269 for the Tabby Package or $369 for the Tuxedo Package if you have a high class, high maintenance feline. And then you never have to buy another thing. Oops. Not quite right. You need to buy the SaniSolution. You can get it as a single pack for $25.99, a 2 pack for 43.99 or a combo pack of 2 SaniSolution cartridges and 1 box of granules for $63.00. What happened to that .99. See how much you can save? Don’t forget the granules. They’re $23.99 for a 3.5 lb box. But it’s worth it, isn’t it? You want your cat to feel pampered and have a clean tush. I wonder when they’ll invent a cat bidet?
