I know there are wheat ones but I'm pretty sure they're much more expensive. I'll search around for pellets - from what I've read I think you need to use a litter box with a sieve? I find the paper pellets to be messy, especially with multiple cats, and because they're so light (and my cats are...

Anyone have any suggestions for the best type of litter to use?

Have just tried a new litter (paper pellets) over the past couple of days, I think it's called Breeders Choice. Not sure if I like it, as you can't separate the wet litter from the dry and you need to replace it at least once a week so it's a bit expensive.  Although I do like the fact that...

Just wondering if anyone has found a great litter (available in Australia) that is safe (not dusty etc) but also reasonably inexpensive? I want to stop using clay litter but can't afford to spend too much. All the reviews I've read have only made me more confused!

We might have to buy a new one. That stuff is horrible!

It's only happened the one time so I'll keep an eye on him. I also noticed that another one of our cats, Bella had worms in her stool so we have just given them all worming paste (exelpet - will never buy it again!)except BB (the one who had liquid poop) who we couldn't get to take it no matter...

Should I be concerned if my cat has had a completely watery loose stool? He is acting and eating normally. 

Anyone had the issue of their cat holding their back leg further forward than the other leg while sitting down? He started doing this pretty much since he had the leg repaired and even though it has healed, he holds it very far forward and sometimes out to the side. Doesn't seem to bother him in...

Good news. Took him to the vet the other day and vet said his leg seems fine and he will probably have his good and bad days as his leg continues to strengthen. He no longer is in pain and is walking fine. Although I will try to control how much exercise he gets every day and slowly increase. 

I have called the vet a couple of times and have an appointment booked in for tomorrow. I explained everything and they said it will be fine until tomorrow as long as he is kept in the cage. 

Anyone else have any advice/experiences with this? Is Metacam really that bad too? It seems to have helped him. 

I've just read some bad things about Metacam and it really worries me! I've given it to him so many times over the last few months :(

Thanks Foxxycat. I'm not familiar with any of those, I'll see what the vet says when we take him in tomorrow. For now I'll just have to keep giving him what we have. He doesn't have any heart issues and is otherwise a big, healthy 2 year old kitty. I did try the ice pack last night so I'm not...

Hi there, how's your kitty? Hope she is doing well. Our boy broke his femur very badly back in January, everything was almost completely healed and now having issues as he's in pain again, probably because of too much movement/jumping? I'm not exactly sure what happened, but I'm terrified that...

Has anyone had any similar experiences?
