I’m sure you won’t see this, Phil, but I felt compelled to add a post little more than three years after the last one What make/model/brand of kitty litter do you use? I’ve seen regular (e.g. clay-like) flushable litter and scoopable, yet non-flushable litter, but not both scoopable and flushable. So whaddya use?! - g^2

P.S. As the Chief Poop Scooper of a dog day care, as well as managing the aforementioned litter box for three cats, apparently I’ll be well-grounded until I’m in-grounded. . .

Francois Tremblay: very interesting point. Of course, many of the words that are considered profane today were just words like any other as recently as 200 years ago. In the past (most particularly pre-Victorian ages), it was far more profane to use a word like “Crikey” (a contraction of “Christ kill me”) than to use certain words that refer to the reproductive process. Yet today the situation is reversed.

Also, you are, of course, being sarcastic in your comment about children becoming killers if exposed to profanity. The problem is both smaller and larger. Smaller, because children and teenagers who constantly use profane language are not very pleasant to be around and are hindering their ability/opportunities to develop social skills; larger, because it is so much more widespread than death by violence.

You are entitled to your opinion, Francois Tremblay, but on my site I call the shots, and I prefer not to be the one exposing kids to bad language.

And calling me a “sissy”? Are you serious?

Bad Astronomer is a great astronomer, but he’s too much of a PC sissy to print the word bad word deleted. Talk about mincing words. But, as everyone knows, exposure to any profanity turns our children into violent killers.

Your kitty looks like mine, including a propensity to perch.

But as you climb up from C list, you can have your people do the cat thing for you. You do have people don’t you?
