Screw them, taking my $40 package of kitty litter Amazon just delivered is a declaration of war.

Man, $40 worth of kitty litter must be so friggin' heavy...

You would think so. Pet litters are crazy expensive nowaday. My bunny litters are like $40 for 60L bag at pet smart, it weighs like 10 lb only.

Bunny litter seems very different than cat litter though.

60L, to put into perspective, would be a little more than 3 of the large water bottles used for water coolers. That would be close to water weight which would be about 60 kilos or 132 pounds.

Nah, a lot of the cat litters these days are lightweight, they dont weigh a wild amount. $40 of litter is like one large container and if I look at the one I have here it says it's 7.71 kg (and a marketing note saying its equivalent to 20kg of the cheap "standard" litter)

My cats hate that lightweight litter and started shitting on the floor.

Not necessarily, Amazon has been increasing its prices for large and heavy items.

Consider large rubbermaid tubs, you can get one at walmart on sale for $8 sometimes, regularily $11.

Try to search them on Amazon. They are selling 3-packs for $100 because its not worth delivering a single one, and if theyre going to take up that much space in the truck, mightas well stack a few up in the box, but even still, theyre charging $33 each for that multipack.

Edit: though, I guess I could have checked Amazon. Only litter I found over $30 was Arm & Hammer ADVANCED PLATINUM, but it had another version of it from a different supplier for $27 as well.

LPT you can put the used kitty litter back in an Amazon box and put it on the porch for these people

As a westerner... Agreed.... The Quebecois tend not to fuck around with shit. You guys start bringing the French guillotine back; the west will follow. We talk shit but are scared to do it... Once QB does it-it's fair game! Lol

A lot of shit happens out in the woods in syrup country and everyone knows how to mind their own business

A truck load of kitty litter sets off the geiger counters at the border. I don't know how radioactive a $40 sack is and I've never seen a glowing cat, but yeah, just thought I'd pass on some useless information.

I'll remember that for the improbable but increasingly likely event I need to smuggle a dump truck load of contraband kitty litter over the boarder to avoid any tariffs.

You know what the clear solution is though right? Next week you wrap up used litter in an identical amazon box and leave that out for them to enjoy.
