    Title of Your Idea:
    Fresh Step Litter Box Cleaner, long handle and strong for people that aren't
    What's Your Idea?:

    What about making a Fresh Step Brand litter box cleaner long handled scooper, and making it very strong and with an easy grip handle, for people that have a hard time scooping litter due to arthritis or injuries of the shoulders/wrists etc. I have seen only one of these before and it was in a pet specialty place. I bought one for my parents, and who have 3 cats and arthritis and they love it, say they don't know how they managed before, and that they didn't know such a product was available or they would have bought it a long time ago.

       Thanks Cathy.  Here's a quick sketch I drew, excuse the bad drawing, I have arthritis in my hands myself, which gave me the idea.

        Wow! Thank you very much! I would just be happier to see more of these around. I spent quite a few years with a flimsy little scoop that used to be difficult to use with weak wrists before I found the one above, my parents love theirs also, especially when you have more than one cat and clumping litter! Thanks again, Cathy.

      Thank you so much! I just hope that some people find out there is such a thing, with arthritis or carpal tunnel it makes a big difference to have the good grip and extra leverage for the clumps especially.

      Cathy, I am wondering if I can come up with a new sketch of this plan, slightly modified, and resubmit the idea? Also, I am Canadian but have a residence in the States, am I eligible for the Idea Factory? Thanks in advance, Debra
