Cat Obsessively Cleans Human’s Litter Box

We cats enjoy when humans spend a little time cleaning our litter boxes, and we enjoy even more when a human ensures that we have a self cleaning litter box available. What we don’t enjoy is when a human fouls up an entire room of the house and does not clean his own litter box properly. Today, Catnabbit brings you a video of a cat who must obsessively clean his human’s litterbox in order to maintain freshness in his own home.

“He’s faster at flushing than I am,” one human exclaimed, implying that repetitive flushing is clearly a necessity. The flushing feline, who asked to remain anonymous, stated that he must clean his human’s litter box up to ten times a minute after it has been soiled. In addition to frequent flushing, he wipes the bowl and tests the water to check that it is sufficiently clear of the human’s waste. He also checks behind the bowl to make sure that his human did not miss and deposit any waste on the floor.

During the course of the exclusive Catnabbit! interview with The Flusher, we found that despite his humans’ apparent shock during the video segment, the humans have actually had a chronic problem with smelly litterbox habits. The Flusher has, in fact, been slowly perfecting his cleansing techniques over the course of his entire life.

In a world where it is commonly said that you should do unto others what you would like to have done unto you, we can only hope that the humans are just as good about taking care of The Flusher’s cat litter as well.

5 Steps to Mouse-Proof Your Computer

Antivirus, antispam, and anti-spyware. The current trend of PC protection focuses on everything but the cat’s long-suffering enemy: the mouse! In this Technology feature, Catnabbit investigates the best ways to mouse-proof your computer.

1. Use a reputable, effective mouse trap. A mouse trap used in conjunction with your computer will prevent it from being attacked by mice and a number of other small rodents. Think of it as a spare set of claws to stop anyone from coming into your computer’s territory. There are a large variety of mouse traps, including the kind that can safely hold the mouse while it is still alive, allowing you to take care of its fate in a way that you see fit!

2. Use cheese carefully. With the advent of new nutritional technologies, cheese is becoming a more popular delicacy in several parts of the feline world. Remember that while you enjoy your cheese, there may be a mouse nearby that might enjoy it just as much! Experts agree that computer repair is quite expensive, therefore you shouldn’t risk leaving cheese out near your computer! A mouse could eat your cheese, or worse, get into your computer. Protect your leftovers by sealing them in an airtight container, far away from your workstation.

3. Use an alternate pointing device, such as a trackball or touch pad. You’ve heard the adage that there is never just “an” ant or “a” cockroach. Where there’s one, there’s more. The same goes for mice: Having a mouse on your computer is an open invitation for more mice to take up residence at your PC. If you are looking for some mice to hunt, this might be a great lure, but we recommend throwing the mouse on the mouse-trap instead of keeping it at your PC. If you’re using one of the so-called “humane mouse traps” then you can use a mouse’s lure more effectively. Keep the lures off your PC!

4. Install an elephant. As you may have heard, elephants are afraid of mice. Fortunately for the cat, this stereotype is completely untrue! Have you ever seen an elephant lose a fight to a mouse? Mice are afraid of elephants due partly to the large size of the beast. Also, endangered elephants pose a threat to a mouse: if an elephant is in danger from something, then certainly this “something” must be greater and even more menacing to a mouse. Therefore, an elephant makes an excellent mouse deterrant.

5. Use caution when opening suspicious packages. Just like you wouldn’t open an unwanted email, don’t open a box if you aren’t sure what the contents will be. If there is any chance that the box might contain a mouse, open it in a controlled environment (such as inside a larger box) so that you can immediately chase after it and deal with it appropriately! No cat can walk with pride if a mouse gets away. Don’t even give it a standing chance!
