    what's your favorite cat litter?

    Which is what I've done with TidyCats Lightweight, and that is precisely why I'm here, to see if there isn't a better lightweight alternative.

    I looked at that link, and it doesn't seem to be lightweight litter.

    what's your favorite cat litter?

    Thanks for the recommendations, but I was asking if anyone has found an acceptable lightweight litter brand.  I really can't lift or store large quantities of the others, so it is REALLY important that I find a decent lightweight, if an acceptable one exists that clumps well, tracks less, and...

    what's your favorite cat litter?

    May I ask if you tried any of the other lightweight litters?  I agree about the dust with TidyCat.  I use it, but I don't like it.  I do want one with less dust but that also provides hard clumps.  I have a really hard time handling the heaver, non-lightweight, litters, so any good suggestions...

    How can I help stop Maya from pooping on the dining area floor?

    Thank you.  I wasn't sure how long to give this before doing much more.  I'm being patient with them, but I'm just worried about Maya not being a happy kitty.  I'm wondering if anyone has tried the L-Theanine.  If you have, please let me know how that worked out.

    How can I help stop Maya from pooping on the dining area floor?

    The litter boxes are PetCo's giant boxes, almost three-feet by two feet that hold up to 30 pounds of little, and they are meant for multiple-cat households.  They are in different rooms, so privacy shouldn't be an issue, and I clean them daily without fail.  They are so large that they barely...

    How can I help stop Maya from pooping on the dining area floor?

    When I say "closet" I mean a large closet with a constantly-open door. with the litter box AT the door,, so they barely even step inside the closet to get to it.  And, no that isn't the problem because she uses that litter box all day when she needs to.  The two boxes this size are more than...

    How can I help stop Maya from pooping on the dining area floor?

    I have three cats. Casey is 2 yrs old, had him for 5 mos. Charlie is nearly 5 yrs old, I've had him since he was 10 wks old. The third is Maya. She's 7 yrs old and I've had her since she was 10 wks old. She is afraid of Casey. At night, if I keep Maya closed in the bedroom with me, she uses the...

    what's your favorite cat litter?

    Help!  I moved to a small apartment with my four kitties.  I currently use unscented clumping, light litter - whichever brand is cheapest.  I clean out their littler boxes at least once a day.  I am seriously getting sick and tired of having to sweep the floor every hour or two - or walk all...

    Needing advice for what to do with older kitty...

    So, it seems to me the very first thing to do is get a full vet assessment of the kitty's health.  I had a cat with renal failure also, so I know what that can be like for them.  It can be a horrible death.  BUT, it will be up to your vet to tell you how sick the kitty really is and what his...

    Older kitty tries to use the litter box, but pees over the edge into a litter catcher tray in front

    Well, after a few days, I can tell you that my little jury-rigged inner-step is working!  The litter trays outside the box are dry!  Yeah!  It's certainly not a perfect solution, but it does seem to be working.

    Older kitty tries to use the litter box, but pees over the edge into a litter catcher tray in front

    Thank you.  Yeah, I know.  But thankfully, covered litter boxes all they've ever known, so they're okay with it.  I keep imagining my own home one day with a room totally devoted to kitty toys, with a door to a safe (screened in but huge) outside play area and one or more separate areas for cat...

    Older kitty tries to use the litter box, but pees over the edge into a litter catcher tray in front

    So far so good!  I think it actually may have worked!   It will be kind of a pain to clean, though, so I like the idea of looking for a better solution.  I had to work to cut the slits properly, but finally got it to fit under the lip of the hood and lie flush against the wall.  I'll keep an eye...

    Older kitty tries to use the litter box, but pees over the edge into a litter catcher tray in front

    Okay, I THINK I may have found a solution that works for him, but I'm not sure yet.  The litter  box I have is this size:  I've taken the door off because he can't handle that well.  it really is larger than it appears here 25.9" L X 18.1" W X 19.6" H    Flap Opening: 10" W X 8.5" H    Rise...

    Thank you so much for the picture!  Terrific!  I think the puppy pads are going to work well!  The only difference will be that I put plastic carpet liners under the pad just in case.
