    Yes, it's the dog people with the mental problems. Couldn't be the cat people who give unflinching loyalty to a pet that wouldn't care if you dropped dead. Might as well have a reptile as a pet if you're going to get a cat.

    Well, I'm not getting into a pixxing match with you over what pet is best. People been arguing that for ever. I suppose we have to find the reason for having a pet in the 1st place. I never felt the need for a pet to give me "unflinching loyalty", I thought that would make a better wedding vow, and then the utter devastation when the dog dies,,oh please, it's not a human, for crying out loud, just get another dog. Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, I just don't like dogs, and I'm not alone, believe it or not. If you really think a snake is the same as a cat, the discussion ends here.

    I expect a pet to have that kind of loyalty because it's pet. I guess it's pretty telling you can't understand people being upset when a pet dies though so I guess yeah, that does end the conversation.

    I have a top entry litter box on floor between passenger seat and dash. I lowered passenger so it level with litter box and custom built another box on top with a hole in bottom that lines up with litter box entry; the goal was to try and contain litter better.

    Red circle is the lip of litter box.

    Here’s the other side:

    The box pulls right out and I can set it on the ground for easy cleaning. No stirring up #### dust while cleaning in the cab. I also use crystal litter which only requires solid waste removal.

    I’m on hometime doing a deep clean, normally it’s ratchet strapped in.

    edit: if I had a dog, I’d probably lower the height of the white wood box. Put a top on it and cut a cat entry on a side. I could then put a dog bed on top of the box. The passenger seat has a lot of wasted vertical space.
