I have a bunch of siamese, and although they are "short hair" I do find hair lying around. It gets ugly on our dark hardwood floors. I want to find a good grooming tool to help with this problem... I've heard some people mention the furminator, some mention zoom groom- which is best for a short...
I did not have any luck using feline pine with multiple cats. Too much tracking/mess!
I use world's best EXTRA STRENGTH (don't like the regular) and I love it. They have a program where you can save/mail in your UPC's and get great coupons for new bags.
I bathe everyone once every 2 weeks or so, I use an organic castille soap with tea tree oil and their coats have always been in tip-top shape (never dry).
My cats WERE tested (on several occasions), found to have NO worms, and the vets (three different ones) still suggested placing them on preventative meds.

There are probably clinics in your area that will do the spay/neuter for next to nothing.
Females that are NOT fixed will constantly cry (VERY noisy), and try to escape. She could easily slip out and get away.
Males that are NOT fixed will spray urine in your house to mark their territory...
Thanks for all your help, everyone! Going on your advice, I bought a (slightly used) litter robot, and love it! I have 5 cats and plan on buying a new one from the company, so I will have two (one upstairs, one downstairs). Thanks again!
I have 3 siamese cats and want to get an automatic litterbox box(es) for them. For those of you who have used one, can you give me some recommendations about which one I should/ should NOT buy? There are so many options out there (and they are expensive!) so I want to make the right decision...
