Happy Birthday Boogar!!!
Boogar turned 13 years old on April 1st, 2010.
OK, I thought to myself, that’s allot of cat pee. I mean, I empty his bladder 3 to 5 times a day EVERY DAY. I’ve been doing it his whole life….
Being a tweak sometimes, I had to figure out how much pee that is.
Lets do some math.
A year has 365 days.
I pee him on average 4 times a day.
Each pee is about 30 or more cc’s. Thats a conservative estimate.
So, that means 365 x 4 times a day is 1460 pee’s per year.
Each pee is about 30 cc’s
So 1460 pees x 30 cc’s is 43800 ccs of pee per year
That is roughly 44 liters of pee a year….
44 x 13 is 572…so I’ve squeezed about 600 liters of pee out of Boogar over the last 13 years…
Hmmm, seems like is should be more. I swear, he makes enough to water a small yard.
If that isn’t silly enough….
600 liters equals 158.5 gallons of cat pee.
That’s a small hot tub….
Happy Birthday Boogar
Feel free to check and correct my math.
Great post! One of my 2 cats (both neutered males) had taken to painting all of my walls, furniture, and anything else he could reach. I was horrified when I got a UV light. He never did that in all of the 9 years I've had him and didn't when I got him a buddy (they love each other and did so right away) but when a strange black cat started showing up outside both of my cats went nuts and the older one (9) started his wall painting, as well as the curtains out in the kitty room. I couldn't keep up with it.
ReplyDeleteMy cats are indoor cats so it's not like the stray is actually going to get in here but they both hate him (and he is weird...my neighbor's cats hate him too). I've tried cleaning with a pet urine enzyme and then spraying some "No More Spraying" but that hasn't worked.
He's a sneaky little bugger too; he waits until he thinks I'm not looking and then does it. He's learned that the minute I see him backing his butt up to something he gets yelled at. It wasn't until I found "Cat Spraying No More" that I was able to finally get rid of this tiresome behavior. Now my house doesn't smell like a litter box anymore :)
