So far the cats appear to like it and it seems to be working as advertised. In goes the cat junk and a few min later it's scooped into the disposable receptacle.

Supposedly this is the "new" model with a stronger motor.

Thanks.

We've had the ScoopFree for six or so months now and it has worked great. Our fussiest cat LOVES it. She used to be right next to whoever cleaned the cat box and would jump in as soon as it looked like you were done.

The one drawback is that I can't find discounted refill trays ANYWHERE. At $15 a pop at PetSmart (surprisingly, they have the best price), it adds up quickly with three cats in the house.

I don't know if I really hit a home run with any gifts this year, but these are the ones I enjoyed giving the most.

1. I made mr. swanie a "man-blankie." The poor guy has never complained about being the only male in the house, but I know he has to cringe everytime he gets under any of our fleece blankets. We have a 70's flower design, a pink balerina, and a pink Nemo blankie, but we had nothing that exudes testosterone. This year I made him a USC fleece blanket so he can feel a little more secure in his masculinity.

2. We gave the girls, and katiesue's madz a trip to the DLH for a few days. We wrapped up random Disney crap and made a little puzzle out of it. Unfortunately, it turned out more like an Abbott and Costello routine. Eventually they got it, but it was harder for them than we thought it would be. Regardless, I think they are excited about it and I had a lot of fun putting my girls' package together.

3. Through an Art Masterpiece program at my kids' school, we had some of their art made into coasters, pot-holders, photo albums, and note cards for all of the different grandparents. They turned out nicely and are completely original. It also gives them something to really brag about

I got my dad a hat with built-in light. He's always complaining that there's not enough light when he's trying to fix something.
