Year kitty litter was invented
When was the litter box invented? I just heard someone claim it was in the 1970s which really surprized me. Jake 18:15, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Question..is the shadow on the right that of a cat just outside the frame, waiting to use the facilities? Or just some leaves?

Training
I feel really stupid asking this question, but do you have to train a cat to use a litter box? The article suggests that dogs must be housebroken but cats are just provided a litter box. --Mdwyer 21:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not an animal trainer, but I believe most cats have such a strong instinct to bury their waste that litter box training doesn't involve much more than saying "Hey cat. Here it is. Use it, ok?" Joyous | Talk 22:21, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- An easy way I've learned to use is when you first bring a kitten home, simply wait a few minutes until he or she begins to feel comfortable (with our first we had to wait four hours until he came out of hiding behind our bookcase). Then pick him or her up, carry them over to the box, set them inside, gently grasp their paw and make a little 'dig' in the litter with it. Usually the cat will get the idea and often immediately climb in and eliminate. Wild_T
Article like pet care book
This article needs to be re-written. It reads like a pet care book. Nenyedi 01:36, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Cat Litter
Hi I did not know that kitty litter was mined in the west country —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.243.200.178 (talk) 13:35, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Because it's not, Fuller's Earth might be mined there though. But it is a lot of other places as well.
However it is sometimes used to make catlitter

Merger with "Cat Litter"?
Being that "Cat litter" and "Litter box" both fall under the same topic of "litter training" or "feline defecation", i suggest that the two pages be merged to increase the quality of both pages. There is no reason why wikipedia need two separate pages. Kpstewart (talk) 05:59, 3 May 2009 (UTC)
