    Need info on Feliway Diffusers, plus where can Canadians purchase?

    Petsmart also sells them. I wait for them to go on sale and stock up. Some of the other pet stores sell a different brand called Nutri-vet...it's pretty good. I can't remember the price though.

    Litter Box Habits Question

    How many times in a 24 hour period should a healthy cat visit the litter box? How many pees and poops on average in a 24hr period? I'm sure there isn't one magic number but I'm still wondering if there is an acceptable range.

    Low Calcium Bottled Water

    My cat just had a bladder stone removed and we are still waiting for the analysis of it to see what it is made of. I'm just trying to do some reading and preparing for any diet changes that may be coming.

    Low Calcium Bottled Water

    For my cats. I've read a couple of posts were here where people talk about looking at calcium content when choosing water for their cats, especially male cats. I didn't realize it had calcium either nor that levels were important to look at. You learn something new every day.

    Winter/Summer Weight Question

    Just wondering if cats put on a little weight over the winter and then trim up when the nice weather comes around. I'd assume they would but I'm not totally sure.

    Do your cats get regular check ups?

    We get them in twice a year for check ups and whenever I get worried/paranoid about either of the two being out of sorts or having any symptoms. Our Vet is pretty good about consulting and answering questions on the phone as well.

    Cat Poo...

    We have a box that sits right outside of our front door where we deposit the litter bags after we've scooped. DH empties that once a day into the green recycling box in the garage....and once a week all the recycling is picked up by the city..........blue boxes, green boxes. I feel really bad...
