For context i am pregnant so not something i can do myself.

Cat must have pooped in her litter box at some point this evening, i just spotted it now at around 10pm and got a little bag ready to hand to my husband. He says " I know its there, i will do it in the morning"

AIBU to think that this is disgusting?? Theres a poo in the litter box, she might want to use it and he will "do it in the morning" because he can't be bothered to do it now

Cats hate using a dirty litter box so if it isn’t cleaned, he may find the next poo or wee is on the floor or rug.

I'd just stick a pair of gloves on and scoop it myself.

Gross to leave it until tomorrow.

You're not unreasonable and he is lazy. My parents sort out their cat's litter in the morning, at lunch and in the evening. Three times a day. Whether it's been used or not, they check.
