I scoop my cat box daily and since it's only one cat, what I clean out fits within a cracker box, for example. I immediately put it in the bin outside so there's no worry about the box degrading and making a mess somewhere you don't want it to.

It looked like baby food but it tasted delicious and enough for me for the next few days (lunches). Very filling and warming. Frugal February in our house.
