    Car Travel

    Since we're talking about car travel... do you put your carrier on the floor or secure with a seatbelt on a seat? I know answers will vary. We will also be traveling for Christmas. chester13, I read something about disposable litter boxes, but I have no idea where they are sold. I am going to...

    Maintaining the litter box

    I feel a little better now, thanks. I haven't been wearing gloves all the time, thinking that I'd go through them way too fast. I'm am obsessive hand-washer, actually. I got a new scoop with a longer handle since the one that came with the box is so small. But the thing is it seems like little...

    Maintaining the litter box

    I searched for this topic but the last thread I found was created years ago so rather than post on that one I made a new one. Do you wear gloves? How fast do you go through litter? We bought a 40lb of Cat Attract and I filled up the litter box close to 3 inches deep (as I thought was...

    Is it OK using the new human bum wipes on my Beefy boy cat ??

    I researched this last week and came to the conclusion that the reason you don't wanna use baby wipes or other wipes is because the company is not anticipating that the person licks the area where they used the wipe. If your cat is going to lick themselves after you apply the wipe (I would think...

    Petco pals rewards I need help.

    Forgive me if I shouldn't post to a thread that is months old but it is about Pals Rewards. Do you know how many days to reflect your current point balance on the site? I am assuming 30 business days after a purchase (as it sounds similar to another program I am in), but I could not find that in...

    deworming ques.

    I had my kitty go to the vet and get a dewormer that should work on all kinds. They said that they'd deworm again when I returned in a few weeks (I'm actually thinking of going to a diff. vet but I guess they'd do the same if it takes 2 or so rounds?). Anyway, I was just wondering after reading...

    101 Things That Can Harm Your Cat

    Yes, I try to look at dates. But sometimes my rule of thumb is "when was the last post made?" and since others had replied to this thread more recently I thought I'd read and reply to it. Email notifications are under your profile settings and the email notification links you at the bottom...

    101 Things That Can Harm Your Cat

    I just read through some of the other replies and someone pointed out that this is actually a list for PETS and not specifically cats. So the towel and sock they think was aimed at dogs.

    need help selecting a litter

    I am currently using Cat Attract (mainly because we will be visiting family soon and wanted to cut down on dust) but an article I read on clay litter bothers me. http://www.moderncat.net/2011/03/06/reminder-why-clay-cat-litter-is-evil/ Many of the alternatives attract bugs. The one I tried from...

    101 Things That Can Harm Your Cat

    towels?? Is that if they become frayed or cat tries to eat it? I assumed tinsel was bad which is why when I saw a pack of kitty toys with a ball covered in tinsel I put it back.

    Sanitation/procedures at the vet? New kitty owner.

    I'm not sure if there's an edit button, but I just wanted to explain better about the first place. They did not put gloves on and were about to do a rectal temp. on my kitty. I stopped her asking about the thermometer and if it was used for all the pets. She said yes the same one is used but...

    Sanitation/procedures at the vet? New kitty owner.

    Thank you. I just found one place online that does have reviews and they were high star ratings. One person wrote she even boards her animal there if she leaves town. They didn't say anything about sanitation in the reviews but it may be worth checking out. And just looking at the building image...

    Sanitation/procedures at the vet? New kitty owner.

    Thanks for the feedback. The bottle didn't even look tidy (gunked up on top). I don't know what to do next. I am due to return in 3 weeks. I don't know if I should just not return or what. Will they call me? I live in a very poor part of the united states and the two places I went to are both...

    Sanitation/procedures at the vet? New kitty owner.

    Hello. I just got a kitten recently (my first furry pet) and was wondering if some of you could help educate me on what sanitation exceptions to have at the vet. As someone with OCD I easily get uncomfortable in these situations. I took my kitty to two vets this week (left the first one rather...
