Probably some obscure housing regulation we who don't live in Bothell
aren't privy to. Privy, get it? To hear her describe things I'm
surprised she doesn't have an outhouse.

I kept a bath mat under my cat's litterbox. It was vacuumed free of
litter and washed frequently. On the rare occasions she soiled outside
the box it was easy enough to clean up or pick up with toilet paper...
and flush. If needed, I'd get some spray cleaner and a couple of sheets
of paper towels and wipe it down. I also used litter-pan liners.

So, Julie uses flushable wipes. As if those won't clog a toilet. I had
a friend (and a plumber) tell me they *love* when people use those.
More money in their pockets.
