Today's product is limited to a particular audience: cat owners. Of course, anyone can get one, but it's up to you to figure out what to do with it if you don't have a litter box around. The Litter-Lifter (warning: garish, confusing site ahead -- but watch the video, it's hilarious) is a simple litter scoop that actually delivers on its fairly extreme claims. While it won't empty the box for you, it does reduce dust from scooping, take less strength, and speed up the whole process. The secret seems to be that it is more of a sieve than a scoop, so the litter easily falls through the holes before you even raise the Litter-Lifter out of the box. The owner of my excellent local pet shop recommended it to me, but I have to admit I was skeptical. As it turns out, it was easily worth the wait for the next delivery. Now the only additional thing I could ask for would be an aluminum version. Even though the plastic seems pretty tough, I want a litter scoop I never have to replace. Maybe that will be their next offering.

We have just purchased some new (to us) cat litter made out of pine. It is dust free, but the little tubular particles won't fall through regular cat scoops. We found something called "stylette" made by Pet Mate. It is made of super sturdy plastic and has a very long sweeping handle that is great for those of us that use covered litter boxes. It keeps you afrom having to practiacally stick your head into the box. We are very pleased with it.
For those interested in following up these ideas, Stylette seems to be a subsidiary company of PetMate. They don't seem to have this particular long-handled scoop on Web, but they do offer one fairly standard model. The pine cat litter is called FelinePine from Nature's Earth. They have a new scoopable, clumping version out that may be the best of both worlds.
Just a note about PetMate: they make the clever LitterLocker, a pet version of a popular diaper disposal contraption. It keeps litter wrapped up in an odor-free bag so it doesn't stink up your household trash.
