If It Ain't Broken....
I am a walking technological disaster.
All I wanted to do was fiddle with the Litter Maid Ultra Mega Deluxe, Model LM900. It's been bugging me that little poop balls aren't making their way into the disposable, sealable waste receptacles which provide a healthier, virtually odor free environment. I also thought perhaps it was time to add a bit of new litter to the mix, after all, I haven't touched it since we bought the dammed thing. I know, I know, there is a "maximum fill" line, and it was very close to being up to that point, but it was smelling a little bit funky, and I wanted to make it better. And I didn't realize that this particular model has a detachable litter tray, making litter removal clean and easy. Like, I read directions????
SO. I turn it off an on, to recycle it and begin the seemingly never-ending raking motion. As it raked, I scooped from the back, scraping up the little dingle balls and the bits that had clung to the back sides. When it returned to it's normal position, I just didn't think it was clean ENOUGH! So I added a bit of the PREMIUM clumping litter, and reset it again. Son of a bitch. Oh, it raked. But it began making this slow grinding noise. Crap! I spend $150 on my cat's ass and I'm going to burn out the freaking motor! Frantically, I begin trying to scoop litter out, but pooper scoopers have holes in them to catch the dirty bits, and there weren't any dirty bits to catch! So each time I fling litter, I'm removing several grains at a time. It's grinding slower and louder. And when the rake returns to the starting position....it makes a very disturbing noise, and begins raking again. Immediately. No ten minute reset, immediately. I continue flinging. And it stops and begins immediately again. Oh GOD! Over and over and over. And YES I DID TRY AND TURN IT OFF!!!! But as soon as I turned it on again, it resumed the nonstop raking.
Sensing some attitude coming from behind me, I turned to see Heidi, sitting there. Just watching me try to fling clean premium clumping litter using a scooper full of holes. Cat a cat smirk? Because I SWEAR she smirked. And she just sat there. Daring me to get it to stop. Finally, it did stop. When I unplugged it.
$150.00 right down the.....litter box.
Won't you PLEASE leave your feedback here?
