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.

How old is he? It could be a number of things...fleas, food allergy, allergic to plastic bowls, if he has them? I recommend having him combed for fleas and switch his bowls to ceramic or stainless steel and go from there. He should be fed a higher quality food without much corn, but I know others here are better at telling you that part...

I agree with Menagerie Mama in terms of the variety of problems that may be causing the scabs. I would also recommend you take your kitty to your vet so he/she can try and pinpoint the actual cause and provide the appropriate solution. Until then, I would clip his back nails (if you're comfortable with that) in order to reduce the damage he creates to his neck.

I would switch his food to a better quality. There are threads in the health and nutrition area that cover what we all recommend, although I don't know how to link you there...I would ask your Vet for Advantage for the fleas. If your cat doesn't go outside he really doesn't need the extra chemicals to kill ticks that Frontline has in it, and Advantage is cheaper. Try switching his bowls too....Let us know how you do!
