Okay.  I was using clay (cheap Jonny Cat), then changed to ExquisiCat clumping.  I have moved... drove over 300 miles with all 6 cats in cages in the car.  We are now settled in.  I need to get some more litter and dump and refill the boxes.  Right now I only have 4 covered boxes, but had more...

Wow, it is interesting to see all the discussion.  If she can lap up formula or food, you could try goats' milk in a saucer.  It's nicknamed the "Type O"' of milks because the young of many species can thrive on it.  I've given it to cats with no problems before. You could also put it in a...

She looks delicate, but she must be a tough little kitten!  Best of luck to you and to her!

The kitten is a rather pretty little tortoiseshell.  You could give her, if you want, goats' milk as well as the kitten milk formula.  That's pretty young, but I have heard of kittens being pulled through when orphaned at even a few days old.  Best luck to you and to the baby. Your heart is...

Thank you for your good wishes and kind words.  I was wondering about the pine pellets.  I don't know if my cats will accept those or not, never tried.  But the idea of the pine smell is a welcome one.

I thought you were being kind of sarcastic and putting me down with your reply.  If I am reading it wrong, then please accept my apology, for I misread your intent.  It turns out that it was good advice after all.  I got ExquisiCat clumping litter and it was a few dollars less per carton, and...

Well, although I think you were being snarky here, I did go to PetSmart and get some ExquisiteCat clumping litter.  It smells good, the cats are using it, and it's a few dollars less.  So yes, thank you for the advice.  When we get moved, I will contact PetSmart and see about a possible quantity...

, Somewhere I read that some folks were getting pine pellets from tractor supply stores for a low price.  I want to keep the cats happy, but don't have unlimited time or money to spend on them. So... I might look for a tractor supply store after we move to Arizona in 2-1/2 weeks or so.  In the...

I had been using Jonny Cat complete.  I'm cheap, and Big Lots was carrying it for either $3.00 or $3.25 for a 20-pound bag.  Didn't do much to control odor, though. I just bought some Fresh Step, and it seems much better at controlling odor. We'll be moving soon, so I will have a 6- to 7-hour...

What I've been using is Jonny Cat Complete.  Big Lots has it for $3.00 for a 20-pound bag.  I have 5 litter boxes for 6 cats.  It works, but doesn't last forever.  Right now all the boxes need to be dumped, washed, and refilled.  4 boxes are the kind with air filters made of zeolite. QUESTION...

 Yes, I have checked into the cost of low-cost spaying and neutering.  My boss is offering bonuses right now because we are loaded with work which needs to get done (I do medical transcription from my home office, and although I was socked with a pay cut a few years back, this is still my...

The kittens are now right about 5 months old.  The 2 boys were rehomed.  I still ned to get the mama cat spayed, and then the 2 girls spayed at some point.

I have a book by Michelle T. Bernard, "Raising Cats Naturally," the recommendations of which I want to implement once we have moved out of California (money is gonna be really tight for a while).  I have found that cats do need a bit more fat in thir diets, though, as noted above regarding...

I use Innova Evo dry food... keep it out all the time.  A have a couple of cats who prefer dry food to canned.  I have 6 cats: Friday, LH red tortie F, 11-1/2 years old. Mocha, LH tortie-and-white F, 7-1/2 years old. Harvey, LH brown/black tabby M, about 2 years old. Millie, DSH tortie F...

Ii've been using Jonny Cat Complete, which has been available at Big Lots for $3.00 for a 20-pound bag (just went up to $3.25).  I got sent an e-mail about using zeolite for cat litter.  I know that my covered litter boxes use zeolite air filtes.  Has anybody here used zeolite for cat litter? ...
