I'm sure many of you have tried this but if not you should! We bought a litter genie..it's kind of like the diaper genie of years ago. It is GREAT! I swore I would never own cats because I can't stand the smell/litter box thing. We got this a few months ago and keep it next to their litter box. It eliminated odor and is so convenient to just scoop up the mess and drop it in.

I've had cats for years and never heard of the Litter Genie. Where did you get it? I built an Iris for that little niche off the laundry area for my 2 cat's litter box.

We bought ours at a pet supply. It comes with a supply of bags. Our litter box is in the laundry room also. We have two cats and need to empty the genie once a week.

Totally agree! I use the "Lucky Champ", which is very similar, and don't have any odor problems at all. (Available on Amazon)

Yes, another vote for posting a picture of your cats. Trish, thank you for the information about the Litter Genie. In a few months when I am ready to be owned by a cat again, I will have to check out the Litter Genie.

Have a question on the genie -- when you take the bag out of the genie to dispose of it, is there a bad odor. I ask because it reminds me of the diaper canister we use to use to dispose of dirty diapers. I recall when I had to empty the canister, the odor was so bad that it knocked me over. There wasn't any odor coming from outside the canister, just when I took the bag out for disposal in the trash.

I don't think the bag smells that bad when I empty it.

Here's our kitty on closing day.

I love cats .. Your kitty is very sweet, beautiful eyes. We lost our 20 year old Himalayan a year ago, and I still long to hear her little chirp and purr.

MR&VAF, what a beautiful cat you have. Thank you for posting that photo. Does Miss Jingles like to sit on the lanai? And I love the name "Miss Jingles."

Thank you, she is very spoiled. As far as the lanai, she is afraid of the traffic. She likes looking outside when the doors are shut, but for the most part she is hanging out under the sofa hiding.

Miss Jingles is very pretty! We were ruled by 7 cats at different times down the road. Our dog looooooves cats and has one he sleeps with when at our son's house. We can't have one now due to Isa, aka Skreech.

I've seen the Genie advertised - plan to get one soon now that you've posted such a positive review. Thank you. Since we're on the subject of kitties and their accessories, has anyone had experience using the automatic litter boxes? The concept looks great but I've heard both positive and negative things about them.

I wonder if you could use this for dog poop too?
