Automatic Litterbox Central

I have been using plastic pellets for filling glow in the dark cornhole bags and have 4 different varieties - all different weights, texture etc. They are sitting on the floor by my sewing machines, in the boxes they came in. One or more of my darlings, decided to try them out and peed in every box! Whether they would work in the genie, I don't know. I need these for current bag orders so I'm going to wash them. When I get a new order of them, I will try them in the genie and report back.

Do you know what type of plastic they are? At least yer cats are trying things out...

Polypropylene pellets

I don't want my cats to start 'trying new things'!! I like it fine when they do it where they are supposed to. They never have accidents or go outside of their boxes. Well, except for this, and I think they thought it was ok because it is sort of the same as the genie. This is the first time in my cat history that all cats go where they are supposed to! It is heaven.

When you get the specific dimensions, brand, etc, please post! I have tried everything. Allie seems to only use Precious Cat Ultra clay or Precious Cat Senior crystals. So, both of my cat genie's are shut down and have Precious Cat Ultra in them. I really would like to find [i]something[i] that I can put in the cat genies and run them with. It defeats the purpose of having them if I am just using them as a regular litterbox.

I got them on ebay, several people sell them. I got clear ones, white ones and just got some 'heavy' ones. check ebay and if you cant find, let me know and I'll dig around to see which sellers I bought from. search for plastic pellet or poly pellet

Glow in the dark cornhole bags...I had to read that over several times, google it, and I still have no idea what that is/means. Please don't explain...my brain hurts already

Lol, I'm going to explain because I have to.

I am into all things that glow in the dark. I started painting star ceiling murals and found a forum that like minded people frequented. We were all learning at about the same time so it was a good place to get info. I then got into casting things using the powder. Anyway, about once a week some new person would enter the forum and ask "How do I make my cornhole bags glow?" Arrgh. I didn't bother reading those threads, thinking it was some disgusting porn/spam crap that I certainly didn't want to be involved with. Or know about.

After about the 20th person asked the same thing, I decided to see what the hell they were talking about. I googled cornhole, expecting to see references to California prisons or something. OMG I was shocked at what I found. Cornhole is a beanbag tossing game. Hugely popular in Ohio, KY, TN, FL, WV, well, pretty much that whole side of the country. I had never ever heard of that game. I was just amazed at how big and popular it is. It involves 2' x 4' boards with a hole cut out in one end. Players throw bags filled with corn at the boards, trying to get it in the hole. Lots of Beer seems to be involved. College logos are common as decorations on the boards, as welll as major league teams. these people are almost cult like in their obsession with the game. They take them to football games and tailgate with them, drag them around in their trucks so they can stop and play at random places - cause you never know when you may run into another cornhole head. A couple of weeks ago the Cornhole King National Championship Tournament was held in Las Vegas. Weird. there are about a bazillion people on ebay selling cornhole bags and boards. There are regulations that determine sizes and weights etc. its a huge industry. The players love it so much they don't want to stop when it gets dark. They want to throw cornbags in the dark! Board builders are making boards that are lit with LEDs or El Wire for night time play. Thats fine but they still cant see the bags. Enter me.....I found some fabric that glows like you cant even imagine. Thus the beginning of glow in the dark cornhole bags. Personally, I think they should call it something other than cornhole. Anything would be better than that. I get visions of prison sports every time I hear it. Or some kind of homegrown trailer trashy activity. Definately needs a new name

I know that this off of the thread topic, but I had to post. Living in Ohio my entire life, I thought everyone knew what cornhole was!!! It wasn't until I read your posts that I realized that not everyone knew. It is a ton of fun! And you are right about everything in your post. My neighbors just put the board in the street and play there sometimes. If a vehicles comes, they just drive around it and wave. If you've never tried it, you have to. It's great fun!

The first set of pellets I got off of eBay seemed to be a softer plastic instead of the hard talc filled Cat Genie stuff. Those replacement pellets weren't too bad but they did have a tendency to jump when pinched with the GenieHand. They also cut in random sizes and angles. It was okay...but I haven't gotten any of those lately. They also absorbed the color dye from the Simple Green solution so they had a green tint to them. The Cat Genie pellets do not absorb the dye.

I would figure with the softer stuff...the cats would probably prefer that to the hard Cat Genie pellets. I guess the test would be is to put them in a small pail and step on them yerself without any socks or shoes on...and see how it feels to yer feet.
