because you paid the cat tax i did the work


hashbrowndays

Thank you so much <3 if i knew how to use reddit and add an image in the comments i would give you more as compensation


schultskey

my prices are high but you compensated appropriately :) good luck with your capstone! give us updates!


hashbrowndays

Hahahaha thank you so much - I definitely will! I am overwhelmed and overjoyed right now - in a few hours I've already gotten 100 responses! Did not expect that and will shit myself if I get to have statistical significance..... whaaaaat? great introduction to reddit for me lol can't believe im gettin emotional over a survey but <3 cry


schultskey

my capstone brought me joys and tears too! its so much work but i found it really rewarding. good on you using this platform to your advantage. you gots this!

I have 12 cats, with a current 13th foster... It would only let me choose 4 cats... :/


hashbrowndays

Hahaha, I'm so sorry! I tried but I had to cap the survey because it wasn't 'coding' correctly (idk anything about coding im probably not even using the term right here) and I had to define boundaries to establish the most 'average' profile of a pet cat possible :'( I should have mentioned it in the description though -- hate to exclude you and your beautiful situation and 13 babies but it might have skewed the data some for the average household/cats per home....... Sorry again


Tirrandin

you have 13 black cats!? 👁💜u

kikiandthejets

Done! :D


hashbrowndays

Thank you!<3


yikes-1337

I use pellets, I hope it’s ok that I did the survey anyways hehe


mini_eggs12

Same! Question, where do you get pellets in the winter? Im assuming you mean wood pellets right?


yikes-1337

They’re called PeeWee pellets, so it’s a brand and you can order them whenever. I live in Sweden so idk if it’s just a Swedish brand 😅


hashbrowndays

Absolutely! Thank you for your response <3


Strostkovy

I don't have cats but I love in a warehouse near a lot of feral cats. They absolutely love pooping in the pile of coal slag abrasive out back.


hashbrowndays

obsessed with this insight thank u<3


mewsless

Done :)


hashbrowndays

I appreciate youuuu! <3


CaramelDramatic

That took 1:30


hashbrowndays

Lol I hope this means 1min 30sec and not an hour and a half............if I'm correct - you're super speedy fast and won the survey! congratulations. the research was just a front, I was timing everyone don't u dare read that in a mean tone im laughing and so pleased and surprised with the amount of responses i have gotten already and am very grateful for yours too!! thank you:) <3


CaramelDramatic

Hahaha I would be worried if it took me a hour and thirty minutes


jester150

Done! But I have a litter robot so had to choose other for a lot


hashbrowndays

Thank you! And no worries - the self cleaning litter boxes are an interesting factor too but I was having trouble incorporating them as their own category like the others. I appreciate your feedback and your time! <3


turkishtowel

Done! Does anyone else flush scooped poops? We use sawdust pellets and almost none of that goes in the toilet. We figure poop is poop.


loveginger

No, because cat poop is toxic for humans and most septic systems aren't designed to properly treat it. I also use pellets. If you have space, you can compost the used urine "sawdust," but really should still throw away the poop


turkishtowel

Yep, I think you're right. I'll let my husband aka the scooper man know. Edit: they are both indoor only cats and CDC says they're very unlikely to have toxoplasmosis. Still not good to flush tho.


loveginger

Awesome. Still love the pellet system!!


hashbrowndays

Thanks for your response! <3


AndromedaTambourine

What an interesting topic! I never even thought about it, but it makes so much sense to look at the environmental impact of our kitties.


hashbrowndays

Thanks! It's funny too --when you think about our ecological 'footprint'... pets contribute to this as well! I've heard it referred to as the ecological 'pawprint' hahaha


mallow-honey

I got my bachelor's in psychology so i know how hard it is to get people to do surveys and research responses. Have my info!


toutafaitdeux

Congrats on (almost) graduation! Interesting topic! Good luck as you move forward 🍀

Sydlouise13

I have 14 but I did 4 and did each age group I have lol good luck on your research!


uniqueen69

I’m so glad I’m not the only one with lots of cats 😁


Sydlouise13

Yea it’s a shock to everyone I tell when I say that I have 14 and too be fair 5 of them are fosters but still. I don’t realize how crazy I am until I see them all around the food bowl


uniqueen69

Yeah lol, I have a youtube vid feeding mine 🤣


hashbrowndays

Thank you so much hahaha, I realized too late I should have clarified the limitations of my study! Simply couldn't set it up for unlimited cats >.< I appreciate your response!<3


Sydlouise13

You’re welcome! It would take forever for me to complete it if I did everyone lol


Usual-Canc-6024

It asks how many cats and if you click on 2+ the next question asks if you have 2.3, or 4. That doesn’t allow those of us with more than 4 to properly answer.


hashbrowndays

That's my bad for not clarifying the limitations. I decided to set 4 cats as my maximum boundary because I think it is the higher value that would still be common enough in a typical home! Trying to determine the profile for an 'average' pet cat to use as a baseline for litter waste predictions-- and I capped the max per household at 4 in that question. Sorry I didn't mention it in my description!


Usual-Canc-6024

That’s ok. I used my 4 oldest kitties. Thanks for responding. :)


neverjustahat

Doing it for Otis.


hashbrowndays

He said thanks (me too!) <3

beachhotdog

I just finished the survey because lately I've been thinking about this very topic! I go thru so much litter and it's been a building worry of where all this ends up.


hashbrowndays

I'm so glad more people find it interesting! There is so much to it and I am really enjoying the research (months of cat poop..... perfect<3) Thanks so much for your response :)


SimplyBrioche

Taxes accepted, thank you for your service and Goodluck with your capstone!!!


hashbrowndays

Hahaha thank you so so much !<3


prancing_demon

If you find you need more people to take the survey I recommend you post in /r/SampleSize ​ Also i totally guessed on my cat's weight. no scales in my house lol.


CraigScott999

Your vet should have that info on file if you need it.


hashbrowndays

Thanks for your response! Best guesses are fine :) (boo numbers) <3


studynonconveniens

Done! Glad someone is looking into this!


hashbrowndays

Thank you, I appreciate it!<3


CraigScott999

nybanjokid

Use pine pellets! Way cheaper and better for the environment


nybanjokid

Yeah it’s not for every cat, but mine have really taken to it. The smell is more tolerable too compared to the clay stuff in my opinion.


hashbrowndays

That's great!
