Those pets of my aunt's? They stink up her house bad, bad, bad. The cat has a litter box, the dog uses a pile of paper placed on a plastic mat. Gross, gross, gross. Her excuse is she wasn't home all day to let the dog out so better to have it go on the paper than on the carpet. Even if she changes the litter box and paper everyday the house still stinks.
I tried to suggest she put a dog door in the door, you can get then so humans can't get in like security safe, but she didn't. I also suggested that electric litter box LitterMaid, but she didn't look at it.
I have heard of both dogs and cats using the toilet, but that grosses me out. I don't want to sit on a toilet a dog or cat used.
That's why I still don't have a pet. Not only because of my schedule, but because I don't know where I would put a litter box in an apartment and not have it stinky-poo all the time like all my friends and family that have a cat. Dogs should go outside it is in their nature, and besides it is good for humans!
Gross story about the dog eating the poop. They also roll around in it. I've seen a cat eat its own vomit. Gross, gross, gross.
I think I overused the word "gross" in this posting.
