Hi, I adopted a long haired rescue in March. She's very sweet and we love her. The problem that I am having is that her hair clings to microfiber bed sheets. I have seen online that pet hair shakes easily off flax linen sheets. I am wondering if this is true. Does anyone have any advice about...

Thanks again ;). I will let you know how it goes once I decide on a cat.

Thanks @Tobermory (that looks great, but I live in Canada and steam pans are not that cheap here). From what I have seen online the steam pans are that same price as a stainless steel litter box (at least in Canada anyways). I guess that I will get a stainless steel litter box. Thank you...

Thanks @Dearjujubebe. I had a look at it online, but I think I'd rather a stainless steel box.

@LTS3 That's what I was wondering (because I found an old blog post where someone said that they used galvanized steel as a litter box, but beyond that, I could not find any more info. And, based on @She's a witch the galvanized steel would react to cat urine. Thank you @She's a witch. I guess...

@LTS3 Thank you. I have looked at those on amazon, I was just wondering if galvanized steel tubs were just as good because the sides are higher. @Albus&minnie the japanese link that you sent looks like sifting litter box (one where the sawdust falls on a lower tray) so it's easier to sift wood...

Thanks Albus&minnie it looks like a sifting box that is good to use with wood pellet litter (yes, they have some on amazon, thank you)

Thanks neely, I will read the article!

Hello, I am thinking of adopting a cat next month and I am researching litter boxes to prepare for the cat's arrival. I have done some catsitting for my SIL and I didn't like her plastic box because it retained odors. I have looked at stainless steel litter boxes and they are quite expensive...

Thank you 5starcathotel. Similar to your bzzt-batterie trick, my father-in-law used to put hot sauce on his wires to discourage his cat from chewing wires. I was just wondering what other tips I could find on this forum. Yes, I agree that when you say "No", you need to offer a "Yes" alternative...

Thank you for all the tips! FeebysOwner: No, I do not have cats of my own. I had a cat as a child and I want to get one. I was thinking of getting one next year (since my DD is 6 now). Yes, my SIL will bring all of her cat's toys, litter, clothing (cat clothing, not SIL's clothes... but, I...

Ah, that's a good idea, thank you!

Hello, I will be cat sitting my SIL's Cornish Rex for a few months. I know that Cornish Rex cats tend to eat things that they are not supposed to eat. Any tips on cat proofing wires? Do any of you put a deterent on the wires? (Any other cat proofing tips would be appreciated thank you).

Hi, I've been reading conflicting information online about this subject. I would like to know which cat breeds have a tendency to show affection to the entire family. I don't want a one-person cat. Any suggestions?

Thanks for the info Neely :)
