As for healthy dry food, I use FirstMate Limited Ingredients Diet dry food (the blueberry chicken one). It is grain-free and I calculated the carb content to be as low as all the premium brands. Best of all, it is manufactured in Canada (higher manufacturer standards there). I used to use...

The most effective litter I have ever tried is Target's in-house Up & Up brand. They sell a fragrance-free clumping clay litter for $6.99/20 lbs. It has no smell, does not track around the house, and is low-dust. For an extremely effective litter, it is half the price of other comparable brands...

Your kitten and my kitten should meet! I can sympathize with everything you have described. I also built cardboard play houses, bought food puzzles, Da Bird and all kinds of wand toys, but he will get bored after 1-2 days. I also feel very badly and wish I could get a second kitten. Here is...

Good to know! My kitten hasn't really learned to groom himself yet. He gives himself a few licks here and there, so I credit him for trying.

I also used to feed Orijen and started searching for a new dry food brand after the switch. I looked to Canadian manufactured food because I heard they have stricter standards for pet food, and I found FirstMate "Chicken Meal with Blueberries Formula" Limited Ingredient Diet. It is affordable...

I wish I could do that! I am simultaneously lazy and a clean freak, so I like non-clumping litter because it means I have to scoop less (my cat drinks a TON of water). Back when I used clumping litter, I dumped it out weekly anyway because I started to smell cat urine. I figured if I am going to...

Thanks for the welcome! I have been reading this forum for months for tips on fostering and kitten care, so I'm glad I finally joined. And thank you for the recommendation. But I actually prefer non-clumping litter! But your comment about the feed inspired me to look into more natural options...

Thanks for the recommendation! I looked up Maxx Scoop which is now discontinued, but that led me to the Tidy Cats non-clumping litter. I didn't realize they had unscented non-clumping litter. Well... Chewy labels it as "unscented", but it doesn't say that anywhere on the bag so I am a little...

I have the same exact worry with my 4 month old kitten! He is high energy, so I feel especially bad about leaving him behind at work. I try to play with him as much as possible before I leave for work and when I get home. He loves the Da Bird wand toys and attachments. It really makes cats fly...

I used it on my long-haired foster cat and it worked really well. She especially liked it when I rolled the brush around in circles. I found it picked up the most hair that way anyway. I am not sure how it would do on short-haired cats... Does anyone have any experience with that?

I know there are way too many threads on cat litter, but I was unable to find a thread specifically on unscented non-clumping litter. I used to use Dr. Elsey's unscented clumping litter, but switched to Jonny Cat unscented NON-clumping litter when I got my new kitten! The logic behind my switch...
