I've found that cats are always very excited when litter box maintenance time comes around. They'll gather 'round, sniff, and eagerly watch my every move, and it's usually a race to see which cat will "annoint" the newly-prepared box. This photo-shoot was no exception. Jaspurr and Billy couldn't wait to get in close to check out the new litter box. In fact, Jaspurr used it immediately, which gave us some clumps for the next page.
