It is the most economical litter I have ever used. I only put a layer of litter in the pan that will cover half the pan. As the cats use it, it turns to sawdust. When its all dust you dump it....

This is probably the single most important toy I ever bought. I got it when my boy was a kitten and two years later, he still plays with it every day.

They are called avatars and are just images that each member picks for what ever reason. Of course, I can't find the thread that explains when and how you get them. Anyone can have them providing they meet some requirements (usually a minimum post count and a minimum lenght of time as a member). I don't think points have anything to do with them though and I'm pretty sure the only way to get a bigger one (you'll notice some are small and some are big) is to become a paying member.

Hi Kristy!
Those little pictures under the word "Donate" are gifts that the member has received - I see you have a couple there as well.
Members are awarded points for each post made, just like real money, you can either carry your points around with you or stash them away in the Bank for safety. Hence the Bank word that you noticed.
You can buy gifts for yourself or others (you do this from the vbPlazaMenu on the menu bar) with the points that you have earned.
Hope that helps

Welcome to TCS!
It looks like your question was answered, I just wanted to pop in a quick "welcome", though!
