They are both still going strong, but I do keep a small fire grate shovel for removing any welded to the side clumps.Memories of Eric and Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07895995542393169845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-52859654786273629002016-10-24T04:17:34.136-07:002016-10-24T04:17:34.136-07:00I love that picture with the contented sweet whisk...I love that picture with the contented sweet whiskers turned up ready for a smooch! Kissable face there...very tempting. But oh! Scoops. I have a sturdy one for Admiral when she was with me. Very feminine with flowers on it! I have never seen them offered with a pretty design since. And when Katie came to stay, I use it for her box as well. I haven't had one snap on me yet but when the time comes if it does, I will pony up and get a good one. I keep a stash of rubber gloves in a drawer near the box in case of an unfortuitious accident. I like made-up words...there's one!

I used to have a cheap one (probably from $ Store or Walmart) but one time I was away and friends were taking care of the cats and when I got home I had a really nice solid one. Not quite as technologically advanced as yours ;p but definitely well made.<br /><br />Have a great week!Sakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508656442667275102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-8585353636458356482016-10-23T10:07:30.064-07:002016-10-23T10:07:30.064-07:00ROTFL!

Next time I do a post, I must mention what happened to me last night, right after showering and before bed time. No cats involved, though.<br /><br />BTW, I have a Dollarama scoop, and while it's still intact, it's certainly not sturdy. I use it for the outdoor box, which is used mainly by Derry. (It's Nicki who almost always pees on the side of the plastic, so that one has to chisel off the clump to get it off.) The two other scoops I have (one upstairs, one down) are sturdier, probably got those at PetSmart. But of course now I want a microchipped, satellite-guided one! :-DFuzzy Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505853082591216696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-902597303199133362016-10-23T06:49:30.914-07:002016-10-23T06:49:30.914-07:00I can sympathize.

I've had it forever. It won't break. However, while my scoop is battery powered, it doesn't have satellite relay. ('Ya think I can get one of those on Amazon??) :-)Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08993528390901569340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508973452758369679.post-72350982692262625142016-10-23T05:02:52.225-07:002016-10-23T05:02:52.225-07:00As I recall the scoops did always seem to break at...As I recall the scoops did always seem to break at the worst possible time,such as when you are dressed up to go out and a notice a particularly stinky deposit. I tended to use the old metal kitchen utensil strainer thingy.

Sometimes the cheaper option is not the best, so glad that you found a more hardy model.Poppy Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271337805172036471noreply@blogger.com
