Talk:Litter box

message: I feel really stupid asking this question, but do you have to train a cat to use a litter box?  The article suggests that dogs must be housebroken but cats are just provided a litter box. --Mdwyer 21:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Training 

message: This article needs to be re-written. It reads like a pet care book.

thread_title:  Cat Litter 

message: Being that "Cat litter" and "Litter box" both fall under the same topic of "litter training" or "feline defecation", i suggest that the two pages be merged to increase the quality of both pages. There is no reason why wikipedia need two separate pages. Kpstewart (talk) 05:59, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Merger with "Cat Litter"?

message: The last photo in the article is captioned "An alternative to using a litter box is to toilet train the cat". It is unsourced, and no where in the rest of the article is toilet training mentioned. Is this really a common practice? I believe this is out of place here. 70.30.236.33 (talk) 14:12, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  "An alternative to using a litter box is to toilet train the cat" ? 

message: The claim is made that: "The optimal source of cat litter is simply to dig earth from one's own back garden". Says who?  I will delete this paragraph until somebody comes up with a reference.Desoto10 (talk) 04:51, 25 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Earth

message: I am removing the line "Originally made from wood,..." until a citation is provided. It is possible they were originally made of clay or maybe humans dug into the ground and filled the hole with some filler for their pets. 
A cursory search of google patents shows 2 Automatic Pet Litter Box patents were issued in 1965. I'm not sure if there were any before that. 
I changed "cat box" to "litter box" for continuity with the article and because other pets may also use litter boxes.
I added subheading for common types of litter boxes and added description for each type.  Kactapuss (talk) 21:20, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Expanding "Types of Litter Boxes" 

message: This article claims that clumping litter is made of calcium bentonite, but all the articles I've checked say sodium bentonite. In the same section, they mention "American bentonite" which is not, to my knowledge, a technical term. Both Ca- and Na- bentonite are mined in parts of the US. In some places (both in the US and the rest of the world) bentonite is a mixture of Ca- and Na- types. If nonclumping litter is made of fuller's earth, then that is probably Ca-bentonite because fuller's earth usually leans away from the Na- composition. Anyone got a reference for this section?? If not, I will be modifying it soon. Elriana (talk) 22:29, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Technical Clay Issue 

message: Because I would have never read the phrase "developments in litter box technology" if it wasn't for you.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.122.50.153 (talk) 00:29, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Thank you wikipedia. 

message: Litter box is a "disposal box for cats (as well as rabbits,... EVE players..."!?
What are "EVE players"? When I Google it, the only references I get refer to a "massive multiplayer online game." Is this a joke referring to the fact that online game players don't have enough time to go to the bathroom and so they use a litter box? This change seems to have been made just over two weeks ago. If it is a joke, would someone who knows better, back it out?
IGNORE THIS POST. While I was typing it, someone made the correction.
BTW: Isn't there some way for me to delete my own posting?
