Kitty business
Never having had a litter-trained cat before, I really didn't know how much litter to leave. I filled the box generously and left two smallish, unopened bags.
Elberth had never had a litter-trained cat either. When I got back to the country (but not yet the house), I asked if there had been enough for the five-week trip. "Sure," he said. "Never even had to change it." Umm.
He did apparently scoop it at least. And, you know, considering...it could have been a lot worse. The cat seemed glad to see us.

I hope it was at least the fancy flowerdy clumping kind. Because let me tell you, the cheap clay kind? It suffers with time.
Flowerdy, no. Clumping, yes. Fancy, no. Clay, yes. Cheap, no.
It definitely smelled different in here, but no so so sooo badly different as you'd think. I was even able to partly think that just having someone different living here, cooking different (greasier) food than I do was part of it.
I mean, don't get me wrong. Windows were opened. Suitcases were left just inside the door while the litterbox was emptied, disinfected, dried & reinstated. But it was much more the principal, and much less the squick of the thing, than I expected. Like I said, he apparently removed the actual artifacts, and just left, well, the clumps.
The way it smelled once I started prying it out to throw away...THAT was what I thought the whole house was going to smell like when I heard it had never been changed.
And, I think, that is all I have to say about that.
welcome home. I'm glad you made it home safe and sound. Are you there to stay a while? By the way, I haven't had cats in my house for about a year and it still stinks like used cat litter when I walk in the house after it's been closed up a while. I used the expensive clumping kind too. :-O
