    Litter Recommendations

    I have used Arm & Hammer Slide. Waste does not stick but I found it does not control odor as well as their Double Duty.

    Help please - have to transport my babies 2200 miles in car

    Hi everyone. I am SO sorry I did not catch all of you up on the journey, but when we got here I discovered the house had been broken into and was thrashed. The girls and I had an air matress, an electric blanket, their litter boxes, their beds (though they slept with me), their food bowls and...

    Help please - have to transport my babies 2200 miles in car

    Thank you for sharing your experience. I have been turning this over and over in my head, and came to the same conclusion as you mention, except for the carriers. So many people have said carriers are safer than letting them free roam (even harnessed to the seat belts) that I am rethinking that...

    Help please - have to transport my babies 2200 miles in car

    Personally, I would feel better having my cats in a large cage.  Even though you have a net, I wouldn't want the cats to be able to roam the car.  I've heard of people using big dogs cages for this.  You can lay down absorbent puppy pads to make possible accidents easier to clean up.  You don't...

    Help please - have to transport my babies 2200 miles in car

    Thank you for your response. I do have a big problem with Hershey Rose. I had to board both of them for 6 days at my vets when I picked out my house in WA. I had them in separate enclosures, but right next to each other. They cannot be put in the same carrier/enclosure. HR is terrified of every...

    Help please - have to transport my babies 2200 miles in car

    I am moving to Washington from San Diego. I will be driving there. I have already obtained a cargo net to velcro between the front and back of the car so the cats (2) cannot interfere with my driving. I plan on having a litter box on the floor for them, and kibble and water on the other side of...

    Kitten used to go in the litter box, but now does it around the house and won't go in the litter box

    I have read the posts you received from other members and I think you got some great advice. My first guess would be the unclean box discouraged him, my second would have been a change in his litter. My cats are pretty tolerant of whatever litter I use as long as they can sink to their knees in...

    Just lost my cat while walking him for the first time outside on a leash :(

    The first question I have is this: Is he micro-chipped? If so, did you update the company with your new address and phone number? If he is chipped, and you have not updated the info, call them and update over the phone and ask if there have been any inquires on him. If you adopted him from a...

    One of my cats has suddenly started to poop in the other's litter box

    When I catified the room, I gave them a 72" cat tree. It has 2 beds on the very top. Minja sleeps in the lower bed. Hershey Rose stays off the tree. At first I didn't know why, then I started watching. Minja would chase her away every time she tried to get on the tree. To get to the carpeted top...

    One of my cats has suddenly started to poop in the other's litter box

    Unfortunately not. That was why I redid the rooms. Did not like HR's box where I worked. Minja has been using her box for both for 3 years. Two boxes have been in same room for 6 months, and she just started to poop in HRs box. Strikes me as more of an "I own this room" or jealousy thing which I...
