“So what if the woman wants to save a few bucks by shredding paper to use as cat litter? If her cats will use it, fantastic. It’s expensive enough to live in DC as it is.”

I’d hate to visit her house! I imagine there’s nothing in that recycled paper that covers the smell of cat urine...

Sounds like revenue enhancement. As a freeper whose name I can’t remember said, there’s not a dollar in your pocket that the municipality - any municipality - doesn’t think isn’t rightfully theirs.

“the inspector admitted to digging through trash looking for violations.”

This reminds me of the BTK killer......control freak.

We received these big bins that the truck can pick up automatically. I hate the damn things. I used to just leave my bags at the curb and the trash man picked it up. So the Dumtards in my city decided to eliminate the 2nd guy, but tell us that it is a green solution for improved gas mileage...

I’m supposed to be happy to try and roll that damn thing through snow, back and forth, and when they leave the lid open have to empty out the rain. Let alone I haven’t figured out how I am going to clean it....I can’t even reach the bottome. I’m supposed to be happy about this because they will produce less exhaustion.

Yet, where they used to take one trip down my street, with a guy slinging bags into the truck, now they have to take 2 trips down my street so the auto arm can pick up on each side. Their claim of less pollution is crap!

Stick a couple of mousetraps strategically in the trash. Then when someone is poking around they might hurt their fingers, and learn a lesson.

my dog likes the litter version- like a crunchy tootsie roll to her.

I think this paper varitey would be more like opening presents to her.

Stuff such as this is what one gets when they think that someone from the government needs to come and wipe their butt after they take a crap.It does not start like this, it ends like this.

It begins with an "Elect me and I will give you free, money, housing, drugs, "health care" and on and on. Once the sheep consider themselves property of the Government, only bad things happen to them from that point on.An unfortunately, we have too many of them in the United States today.

I’d say we have gone far enough when we collect enough tax money to pay for people to dig through trash looking for cat crap.

That about sums it up for me...

I think the litter deodorizing powders would probably work. And frequent cleaning of the litter boxes. Even with the clay litter, I clean the boxes twice a day.

What’s to recycle? I compress it and give it out as trick or treat to kids of the neighborhood’s liberals.
