What I would recommend when dumping and completely changing out litter is to use a plastic pitcher and scoop the litter out into another container, clean the box and then scoop it back and add fresh. Also, if I am working on something that requires me to be bent over for a period of time, I use the: 2 in 1 Large Steel-Framed Folding Garden Kneeler/Seat with Thick Foam Pad http://www.amazon.com/Large-Steel-Framed-Folding-Garden-Kneeler/dp/B004QBMZUM/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1349731118&sr=8-5&keywords=gardening+seat You can purchase it from amazon or from Home Depot or Lowes and it's great for kneeling on when painting baseboard because the legs act as a handle with which to push yourself back up OR you can sit on it while cleaning and/or scooping litterboxes. It is very lightweight and you can drag it around to the different boxes :) > Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 16:31:24 -0400 > From: felineres...@frontier.com > To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > Subject: Re: [Felvtalk] Scoopable Litter > > I use scoopable litter, but I use the dust free kind.
