anne - the shredder paper is brilliant! Makes total sense and gives me something great to do with all that paper I accumulate instead of just sending it to the curb.

I used to grind my coffee grounds over a viva paper towel, which seemed to minimize the mess. Any overflow I would clean up by wetting the towel slightly and just running it over the counters. Granted, I never have experienced tile countertops and so can only imagine the JOYS of working with grout coffee grounds.

I now do a lot of things over the sink, because it's easy peasy cleanup.

I must also say, we scoop every morning and sometimes, if I'm motivated, twice a day. That definitely helps with promoting good litterbox attitudes.

lemonpie - I have two cats. One loves it because she's very shy and can hide from traffic (box located near back door in kitchen). The other cat uses it begrudgingly because he's slightly bigger (although not too big for the box) and so I think spinning around in it might be a bit tough for him.

I moved away from the open box because the bigger cat is very long and he kept going outside the box (gross). I thought he might have similar issues with the classic covered box -- ingress/egress problems given his slightly larger size.

the clevercat box is idea for both of us because the poop is contained (he simply can't miss), but he can also just pop in and out. I like to think he doesn't hate it as he'll often "scratch" on the top surface after he's done with his business.

See this link on amazon that made the decision for me: http://www.amazon.com/review/RWNEKWW1K503W/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

I ordered the clevercat litterbox to help with this issue. I didn't like the open litter box because litter got everywhere and they gave me the hairy eye when I tried the classic covered litter box. http://www.thepamperedpetmart.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=CTELWL&qts=Affiliate&qtk=6W6wrj6g I love the clevercat, it keeps the litter inside the box and on the surrounding floor. Perhaps you could use some kind of curtain or hanging screen to provide more privacy or for aesthetics.
