A Hilarious Craigslist Ad

On my beloved Craigslist I am always on the hunt for stuff that I need. This time I am searching in the 'free' category for some wood for my garden and back yard projects. I came across this hilarious ad:

For free: two 10lb bags of Purina non-clumping litter for multiple cats.

There was a really good sale on thus stuff a little while back. I'm pretty new to the cat-owning world, so I'm thinking "Wowie, Purina! It's name brand and everything, and dirt cheap, too!". So we bought several bags of the stuff.

First off, apparently "non-clumping" means that when the cat pees, it just disintegrates when you try to scoop it. Meaning that with every passing day, the ratio of cat pee debris to litter only increases. This is a selling point somehow?

Estha the Cat certainly does not agree with the litter. We've had the joy of finding poop on the kitchen floor in front of the fridge on a regular basis for awhile now. It's like she's leaving little fecal presents to thank us for buying such high quality cat litter. Mind you, it's not like I've ever pooped in front of the fridge, don't knock it 'till you've tried it and all that. And you know, I might be open to trying it if Estha would clean up after me. We'd have a nice fair exchange of services going on. But no, our relationship at this point is of the "she poops, I clean up" variety.

Cat diapers have also occurred to me as a possibility, but as Estha has all of her claws and we are low on Band-aids, I decided this is a less then wise idea.

Anyhow, Purina seems to be to pet products what Banquet is to frozen food, who knew? Either that, or Estha is exceptionally picky. In any case, there's two bags of litter up for grabs. Hopefully your cat isn't as picky as Estha. Also works great for cleaning up motor oil! (The cat litter, not Estha).
