Hidden Litter Box

For the majority of my life I have had cats in the house. I have always had the traditional litter box tucked away next to the toilet

I have grown tired of this set up with litter under my feet, dust every where and the smell in the bathroom.

The wife and I wanted to change this, specially since we are adding more people to our home. As we need to free up the spare bathroom and no longer can give it to the 4 cats. We searched high and low for many ideas.

We chose to make our own litter box instead of spending good money on a particle board set up. We deceided on using an old steamer trunk for ours.

A simple 8″ hole cut in the side near the back allows the cats to enter. Litter pan, litter box (40 lbs), plastic bag holder and litter scoop all fit inside. Since ours came with the top tray included. We remodeled it so one can still scoop through, yet holds all of the extra items such as brushes, combs, eye drops, etc.

Cost? Less than a traditional plastic shell litter box bought at a pet store. The steamer trunk was $25 off Craigslist. Add a few hours of labor to wash the trunk inside and out. And the litter box is complete, hidden and now part of the normal household furnishings. People will now see 4 cats in the house, not litter boxes nor litter trails. And we finally get our 2nd bathroom back!

SOPA and PIPA

A message from Craigslist:

Stop HR 3261 (SOPA) and S 968 (PIPA) Internet Blacklist Bills

Congress needs to hear from you, or these dangerous bills will pass – they have tremendous lobbying dollars behind them, from large corporations reportedly hoping to prop up outdated, anti-consumer business models at the expense of the very fabric of the Internet — recklessly unleashing a tsunami of take-down notices and litigation, and a Pandora’s jar of “chilling effects” and other unintended (or perhaps intended?) consequences.

Please let your Members of Congress know you OPPOSE H.R. 3621 “Stop Online Piracy Act” (SOPA) and S. 968 “Protect IP Act” (PIPA):

Wheat Gathered Up?

Many go around desiring a rapture, a gathering up stating they leave first.

But does not scripture teach us that those gathered up are the tares? And the tares go first?

•Matthew 13:28-30
He said unto them, An enemy hath done this.
The servants said unto him,
Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?
But he said, Nay;
lest while ye gather up the tares,
ye root up also the wheat with them.
Let both grow together until the harvest:
and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers,
Gather ye together first the tares,
and bind them in bundles to burn them:
but gather the wheat into my barn.

•Matthew 13:38-43
The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom;
but the tares are the children of the wicked one;
The enemy that sowed them is the devil;
the harvest is the end of the world;
and the reapers are the angels.
As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire;
so shall it be in the end of this world.
The Son of man shall send forth his angels,
and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend,
and them which do iniquity;
And shall cast them into a furnace of fire:
there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.
Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

•Enoch 69:27
And he sat on the throne of his glory,
And the sum of judgement was given unto the Son of Man,
And he caused the sinners to pass away
and be destroyed from off the face of the earth,
And those who have led the world astray.
(be carefull rapture teachers)

•Psalm 37:9
For evildoers shall be cut off:
but those that wait upon YHWH,
they shall inherit the earth.

•Proverbs 10:30
The righteous shall never be removed:
but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
