Thank you! I ordered some from EntirelyPets.com for a very good price
and I can't believe how fast they got it here. It does seem to be
helping.

Do try the Australian Bush Flower Essence "Emergency" too. I used it
on Zelda, my JR x because she's deathly afraid of the darn fireworks.

I use clumping litter, so I appreciate your posting this to the list.
The brand of clumping litter I get at Costco is LitterPurrfect. It
doesn't contain sodium bentonite, but it does have silica gel. Do you
know if this is dangerous as well? The box still warns against
flushing the litter, so
I've heard they can be effective when added to their water dishes too.
The nice thing about flower essences is there is no adverse side
effects, according to the research I've done so far, they are
completely safe. I ordered it and another one called "Relationship"
from Earth Spirits,
I think that one of the websites my mom sent me mentioned silica being bad
also. I can see if I can find it. You can probably find info on it by
doing a search on cat litter and silica.

This is what i found on one of the web pages my mom sent me:

Thanks. So you can get World's Best Cat Litter in the US? When I found
their website they didn't have a retailer listed in the US. Where do

On second thought, though... the corn litter I use is tiny little hard
pieces of corn. Are there really a lot of dogs who would eat that? Or is there
another kind of corn litter that is in another form?
I guess it's hard to predict what dogs will eat, though!

Lucy just kills them, but does not eat them. Patches just watches
them. Not sure what to do about them. I tried changing the litter, but the pine
I switched to may have made Lucy sick. Wheat would probably attract mice too.

Patches does this from anxiety. it is not an allergy with her, it is
anxiety. But she does not do it anymore, because I put compounded transdermal

Thank you for telling me this - and the explanation of the
difference. I'll talk to my vet this week. Fortunately there is a
compounding pharmacy just up the road.

Kerry,
I've read that pure rice bran is a better alternative than oat bran for
cats. You can get it at the health food store. I can't remember the
'whys' of the debate, but at the time I decided it was worth changing to
rice bran.

Thanks. I'll definitely give that a try. Phelix isn't the big
one but he does weigh 17.5lbs so he's a good sized kitty.

Wheat attracts weevils that can aggravate a
