I found myself pondering a design the other morning as I was cleaning up after one of the cats that would help organize the litter scoop. I figure if I made it out of cardboard I could just recycle it every month or so if it gets dirty. So, I spent a few minutes drawing it out on paper, then took some general measurements and set to work in Illustrator. A short time later I had a little scooper box.
I ended up using some wood glue on the seams to make it a bit more rigid and sturdy. One of the things I’ve found in using corrugated cardboard is that boxes come in a lot of different thicknesses of the stuff. So, as a result, a slot that worked great on one, doesn’t work as well on another. In these cases, wood glue works great
The design worked pretty well the first time, only a few slight modifications to the mounting slot that I had to enlarge with some scissors and add another notch.
Great litter scoop organizer! I am about to become your best friend:
This - with clumping cat litter - is a genuine life saver:
You roll it to the right, thump the bottom, roll it to the left, and pull out the kitty waste in the little tray for disposal. No treasure hunts. (Look at all of the pics they show for the method.)
Couldn’t have cats without it. (Oh and they have a larger model for about 10$ more for multiple cat households.)
Now that’s the kind of thinking I’m hoping having a laser engrave will lead to. That’s a solution I didn’t know I needed until I saw it. Now I don’t know how we have gotten by this long without it.
