I usually scoop my cat box once every day. I was out of town for two days, and the room mate who was supposed to clean the box neglected to do so. It was after two days that I found the mold, so I guess it would have been lack of cleaning.
As far as the tote is concerned, that is a great idea, and I will definitely give it a shot.
Thank you for the idea!

poor kitty poo hygine by: john in western,pa
how often do you flush your toilet???? I would say (without involving any CSI people) the WHITE STUFF is MOLD,good old fashoned MOLD. I have a 15 year old (mork) & I check & clean his box 4 times a day. If my toilet was over flowing I'd think there was a problem .

Kitty Poo problems by: Mary in NC
I have a couple cats that I rescued that did this very same thing.
I switched their box to a larger one and the problem was solved.
A GREAT litter box suggestion is this:
Buy one of those large CLEAR plastic storage containers that come with snap on lids.
Put litter in there and the cat has clear sides to see his surroundings while going to potty and he has a large area to go potty in without missing the box.The tall sides serve as a wall to keep kitty poo inside the box and not on the floor.
My cats MUCH prefer the large tote boxes for litter boxes to the standard low to the floor litter boxes.(Not to mention it saves on having to clean up kicked out litter on the floor).
Some people cut a circular hole in the lid and some cats like to jump in from that but as for my cats....they dont like the lid so I leave it off. It is a matter of cat choice.
Maybe this suggestion will help and it is not costly.
