I cannot stand dealing with litter no matter what I do (lemmy.world)

first off, i live in a small apartment. bed, bath, kitchen, living. there's no great place to put it in the first place [it's in the bathroom rn]

every time i see it it feels like a chore. it gives me anxiety, it is a constant chore, endless, does not stop. it will never stop. i cannot finish the chore, ever.

^ and to that point -- if i were to scoop every day or even less frequently, it is disgusting 100% of the time, no matter what. touching it at all is disgusting, putting my face or body near it is disgusting, i don't want to see or interact with it in any way. every time i interact with it, it's a mental barrier to break down. no amount of cutesy names or molded plastic will make it not fucking disgusting.

none of the self cleaning ones really work properly, do they?

it's bad for the cats if you don't maintain it properly

i mean ok whatever. if this is the worst part of their lives, fine, they don't have to work or pay rent or worry.

Spend the money to get an auto-cleaning litter box, then. They work just fine. All you gotta do is replace the litter once in a while and empty the bag it dumps all the collected stuff into.

And I mean, it will be more disgusting if the box is so dirty, the cat decides it's safer to shit in your bed. They don't like a dirty litter box and may refuse to use it.
