Our previous barn cat lived to 15 years. She was a ramblin’ wreck; lost her tale when it was stepped on by one of the horses. Her sister, also a smart huntress, only lasted 7 years. Both loved the life!
I suppose the easiest thing with regard to the litter is to finally and diligently saddle my son with this duty. During the fall, winter, spring months I basically work all the time (Barack’s New Economy). The box is neglected. It just needs to get done!

I keep a couple spare boxes pre-loaded with litter in the garage. On days where I don’t have time to deal with the dirty one, I just swap it out with a clean one in about 30 seconds, and come back later to clean the dirty one.
