In the old days we never had a litter box because any cats we had were outside most of the time.

But two of these guys were babies that we found wandering around in the road after their mama got smooshed by a car so we didn't have the heart to let them out. They're now 15 years old and have spent their entire lives inside. Maybe I can hoard enough plastic bags to last the rest of their lives.

Or we might be able to find some at the dollar store.
