PS, Fan. If you are into Yahoo groups, think about joining the group "turkishvans" (one word). A marvelous group of people, and frequent beautiful photos of our kids. Ann

Persevere Fan. Never give up. You will never regret becoming a member of the TV Club. As you can see from our siggy, we are fans too -- Van Fans. Jim and I have Molly and Samwise, or vice versa, they have us, both Grand Champion Turkish Vans, step-siblings, now retired from the show...

Well, howdy there. She sure looks like a TV at that age -- that's for sure. Most of our gentle readers have seen our boy Samwise before, but we hasten to send a photo to someone who has not. And here he is: (We think -- We cannot figure out posting photos, but that is about average.)...

I hope you are pleased with the Robot, Laureen, when the time comes. They are expensive, but so are our cats and our peace of mind. Ann and I have always been ready to pay a bit more for a product when it lets them provide good customer service. I noticed your comment about the Littermaids...

Wish I could help, Art, but we have never used feline pine clumping litter. The manufacturer advertises that it works with "any clumping litter." http://www.litter-robot.com/default....FT6NOAodankMfw I would suggest that you drop them an email, at [email protected]. I found them to be...

Laureen, Our Samwise is also a big boy, almost 16 lbs. as well. The LitterRobot is no problem for him. In fact it is amusing to see him climb in slowly and then hop out in one big leap. It is even more amusing to see him in the Robot with his big Turkish Van golden tale hanging out the door...

Are we sure we are all talking about the same thing here? If the real LitterRobot is retail marketed at WalMart or Target it must be fairly new on the inventory. But, if it indeed is, at a more reasonable price, and I do hope that it is, we should all run out and get at least one. Ann and I...

So true, Epona. Jim & Ann, the Van Fans

Since you are thinking about running it on manual, you are obviously aware than this may be necessary for a while since your new rag will be a kitten. We often run ours on manual even 'tho our three are monsters, because we are convinced that they will sometimes step up on the step and sit in...

We use only the Litter Robot for all three cats. Two of them are very big Turkish Vans, and the third is a large domesticated ex-feral. If I got lucky I have succeeded in attaching a photo of our huge male TV. I know Ragdolls get large, but not often as big as Samwise. While we occasionally...

I am sure we will be forgiven for just copying our response to a similar question elsewhere on the forum. ------------------------------------------ Jim and I second Brittany all the way. We tried Litter Maid twice, with very poor results and service both times. We would never use one again...

Jim and I second Brittany all the way. We tried Litter Maid twice, with very poor results and service both times. We would never use one again. Last month we got the Litter Robot for our three babies, and our only regret is that we did not learn of it years ago. Having at least three cats...

Sohni, The chance of one of your furbabies becoming injured in their play (often hard to distinguish from fighting) may become more likely when Tsekani is no longer a kitten. Two adult males (and two adult females) can often really fight and injure their opponent. When you go to your first...

Ferris Cat, Earlier we had intended to show you what Samwise looks like just after his patented Turkish Van Bath. Here he is. Not a happy camper. http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a23...etfrombath.jpg But after he dries off, what a change! http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a23...se/SW-H-04.jpg

We didn't know there was a Turkish Van yahoo group. We will look it up this evening or tomorrow and see about joining. We are a member of Vantastix. I suspect that perhaps you are too, or perhaps you know well or are related to a member? Linda? Isn't it aggravating, when after you go to all...

Sohni - we all wish you and Tsekani the very best. You sound like a great duo, and we are certain that Tsekani will do well if you decide to show him. We hope you do, as it is an experience you owe it to yourself to have. No, you will not have to give him a "Van Bath." The main addition to...

Golden Kitty45 says PHP Code: if they are show cats, then they should (in any breed) get used to baths and grooming from the beginning.  Right you are, Golden Kitty. A preshow bath is a prerequisite. Many of you "old timers" have seen our recipe for bathing a Turkish Van before, but there...

Well, we received the LitterRobot. The two girls started using it right away, but big bold macho male Samwise was scared to death of it. He avoided it until he was crossing all four legs, but he finally climbed in to do his business this afternoon. We breathed a big sigh of relief, and can...

What a handsome fellow Oscar is. He is certainly deserving of his GC. A glance at your photo of Otto being judged and one sees why Oscar nipped a judge and Samwise bit Ann's ear. We can't say for sure whether or not Lord-of-the-Rings is only the 2nd male TV DM. I'm afraid we lost touch...

Samwise and Molly, a couple of GCs themselves, who appreciate the work involved for Oscar, send their heartfelt congratulations. Well Done! Does not encourage success, Oscar, nipping the judges, but Samwise can sure sympathize with you. He says that sometimes we cats get awfully fed up with...
