Meezer vs Machine....
A true story BOGART
The Auto-Litter Box Killer
Several month's ago I purchased one of
those thing's and I'm going to tell you a story of my
experience and Bogart's (my 15# Birmin) attitude to wards
those things! I purchased one for $200.00. I thought the
invention was an excellent idea being an engineer type. I
purchased the Auto-Litter box on a Friday, and after
minor assembly it was in operation Sunday night. I keep
their litter box under the bathroom sink, they just open
the door and use it and all odor's don't enter the house,
exhausted outside and no one the wiser.
Went to work on Monday and told a few friend's about the
new litter box I purchased and after a few crack's and
such, a very good friend, who I've known for some 25
years, mentioned that a Meezer might get caught in the
darn thing when it started operating, which I promptly
discarded as lack of experience on such matters.
After work, I left for the house to see how this new
invention accomplished it's task cleaning all that stuff
we human's tend to delay for some reason or other. Upon
opening the door, I was greeted by Simon (my female
tortie point) who began jibbering & meowing over who
knows what. Then Bogart appeared with tail held high,
puffed out to the size of a coffee can, yeowlling and
strutting around like he just killed Godzilla! Looking
around the place for a half chewed bug or even a little
mouse, I looked in the bathroom, only to find the
remnants of the Auto-Litter Box, pulled out from under
the sink, RIPPED into 4 large pieces, litter all over the
place, and some of you know what strewn everywhere is,
and some even inside the shower!
I started cleaning the mess up while thinking to myself
of the information I discarded from my friend as not
applicable, the thought "IT MIGHT OPERATE WITH THE
MEEZER INSIDE"! Realizing that this now $200.00
worth of scrap plastic and wire, once a technical marvel
of human invention, now dead do to a Meezer With
Attitude.
I mentioned this experience to several club member's,
after a few bout's of hysterical laughing, all agreed
that I should return this item(s) to the place of
purchase. After a few days of getting opinions, I went to
the pet store to return the merchandise. In hand I had
all the paper work, invoice and such. After much
discussion I found that the guarantee does not cover
abuse!
After some grumbling, I put the remnants of the
Auto-Litter Box on a shelf, out of the way I thought.
Bogart found the remnants and commenced to making sure
that he indeed had killed it! I have most of the pieces,
I offered the item(s) for sale, "CHEAP" and
have had no takers at this time.
In my opinion I think that the manual way is much cheaper
and safer for all interested in trying to purchase
something easier for human kind! ....
