Three cats and you clean the box a couple of times a week? Whew! I scoop our two cat boxes daily and we have only two cats. If I don't keep them clean that often one of the cats gets it into his head to pee elsewhere. Doesn't happen often, but it's insidious when it happens.

The dog poop goes into a whole dug in the compost heap. It's amazing how much they can generate, in comparison to how much food I feed them every morning. They augment their diet with lots of bugs and grass. (I've seen them bouncing around the lawn in the evening catching June bugs after a recent rain).
