Email says kitty’s death is caused by suffocation while trapped inside cat litter tub.
I was forwarded a copy of an email that was supposedly a letter written by a woman who says that her cat perished due to a cat litter container accident. I’ve done some research and can’t find any information on this but thought that it was important to pass along. The lady says that her cats were playing around the litter container, which was still partly full. The cats managed to get the lid open. One cat jumped inside, the other cat jumped on top of the container closing the lid, and the cat inside suffocated.
If I were one of the Myth Busters, I’d say this story is plausible. I thought it was also interesting that as I was shopping for my kitty litter last week, which normally comes in just such a plastic container with a flip top lid, that the container design has changed. The lid on my regular cat litter is now completely removable. This lends more truth the story, I think!
So if you do have any of the old style flip top containers around your house, you should get rid of them right away! And remember to take them to the recycling center, and help your kitty do their part to help the environment.
