Every now and then, Xian Li seems to want to empty the contents of the 
litterbox onto the floor.  I have to "remind" him....

I don't have a problem with damp litter, either.  Of course, we change the 
box completely once a week.  For me it is worth it to have a clean smelling 
house and happy kitties.
Personally I never composted the cat waste, but possibly with the pine stuff 
it is a different situation.  Of course, when I lived in the country, the 
cats did their own "composting" in the garden with no suggestion whatsoever.  
All that nice, loose, tilled soil....

Oh, by all means.  I'm sure everyone else is interested too.
