A very unique (if moderately expensive) gift idea for a senior citizen you love is a "cat-genie." No, this is not a little bottle emitting an incorporeal kitty when rubbed! The cat genie is a self-cleaning litter box that disposes both solid and liquid wastes down the toilet or out the washroom drain. Solid wastes are dissolved so there is no chance that this device will clog the drain or the toilet. The litter itself is washable and need not be replaced at all, except to replenish the grains the cat deposits on the carpet, so it is much better for the environment. Best of all the cat-genie can be programmed to clean itself as often as you need. It even air-dries the litter so the kitty cats can have immediate access to the box after the cleaning cycle is complete. With absolutely minimal maintenance, your senior loved one can now enjoy the fuzzy companionship of a kitty or two without having to muck about in the cat-scat. In fact, providing a senior citizen with pet care is such a nice idea that even if you don't have $300 to spend on this fancy device, you might consider organizing a cat-litter-posse of children to care for your senior's pets. What a lovely gift that would be!
