So, I saw this trend going around, “pumpkin spice everything,” right? And it got me thinking, could I make, like, pumpkin spice kitty litter? I mean, why not? Cats deserve some fall spirit too, you know?
Getting Started
First things first, I grabbed a bag of regular, unscented kitty litter. Nothing fancy, just the usual stuff. Then came the fun part – the spices. I went with the classic pumpkin spice mix: cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a bit of allspice. I figured, if it smells good enough for a latte, it’s gotta be good enough for a litter box.
Mixing It Up
I dumped the litter into a big container and started sprinkling in the spices. I didn’t really measure, just eyeballed it until it looked like a decent amount. Then, I got in there with my hands and mixed it all up. It was kind of therapeutic, like making a giant batch of spiced dirt.
Testing It Out
Now, for the real test. I poured the spiced litter into my cat’s box and waited. My cat, Mittens, she’s a bit of a diva, so I wasn’t sure how she’d react. She sniffed around the box for a minute, then did her business like usual. No complaints! And you know what? The room actually smelled pretty nice, like a fall candle or something.
The Verdict
- Success! The pumpkin spice kitty litter worked like a charm. No weird cat reactions, and a pleasant scent to boot.
- Easy to make. Just mix regular litter with some spices.
- Smells great. Like a pumpkin spice latte, but for your cat’s bathroom.
I’m calling this a win. It’s a fun little project, and it adds a bit of seasonal cheer to something as mundane as a litter box. Plus, my cat seems to approve, which is really all that matters. So, if you’re feeling adventurous, give it a try! Your nose (and maybe your cat) will thank you.
