Alex was so excited about this litter box he was shouting. It was Amazon.com’s deal of the day - 43% off. He’d been talking about our need to go back to an automated litter box and this one is a great deal and SUPER simple to clean up. The only thing is, the ongoing costs are high - the litter tray refills are like $17 a piece and they’ll likely only last us two weeks. We’ll have to figure out a way to reduce that cost - I’ve actually spent about an hour researching that this morning and found “forever litter trays” on ebay that are plastic instead of disposable. They’re expensive - almost as much as the litter box itself, but if we find that we like the box then we’ll probably go for it because spending $34 a month in litter is obnoxious… Anyway, it’ll be awesome to go back to having an automated box. Fiona doesn’t cover her poo (gross, I know) and it smelled SO BAD we were gagging.

Awesome cat post. Ugh. I am NOT a cat lady!!!

So I really love shopping on Amazon.com because of the enormous selection, the generally great prices, and the user reviews of products in an easy to use and navigate interface. I also love the wish list feature, especially when it comes to my birthday and Christmas. I used to keep a Google Wish List when they called Google Shopping “Froogle” but I haven’t updated that in a while. So today I was doing some “wishful shopping” (which is what I call it when I know that I’m too poor to buy myself things but I still feel the urge to shop online so I go online and put a bunch of things into my “shopping bags” at various online merchants and then just close out the page instead of buying anything) and I thought that since it’s almost November I should probably create a wish list that can be emailed to people when they ask me what I want for Christmas. I was just thinking that it’d be great if I could add things from outside of Amazon.com to that wishlist when I noticed their “universal wish list button”. Let’s you add items to your Amazon.com wishlist that are sold on sites other than amazon.com. Brilliant!
