LITTER-LOVING CATS WANTED FOR `FRESHEST FELINE' CONTEST

LITTER-LOVING CATS WANTED FOR `FRESHEST FELINE' CONTEST

PRINCETON, N.J. (Wireless Flash) -- Talking about your cat's bathroom behavior isn't polite conversation -- but it could win you $2500. That's the prize being offered in an unusual new contest to find what's being described as "America's Freshest Feline." The contest -- sponsored by Arm & Hammer kitty litter -- has received several entries so far, including... -- Details of a cat named "Princess Annie" who inspects the litter box after it's cleaned to make sure every bit of poo is scooped up. -- A Russian Blue kitten named "Czar" plays in its litter box after doing his business. -- A cat named "Bay-Bee" is such a neat freak that it spends a minimum of two minutes fastidiously burying its mess in the litter box. -- Finally, there's a cat named "Thomas" who is so fanatical about a clean litter box that he cleans it out himself after each use.
