Hello everyone,
I used to use only clumping clay litter, and was never that happy with it.
It's terribly dusty, and I found it smelled even when it was fairly fresh.
When my anemic kitty started eating it, I tried some alternatives.
Now, my favorite as far as price and ease of use is: a rubbermaid container,
I find that the color does vary. When mine are playing, or lazing in a hot
sunbeam, the pads look pinker. I think it mainly has to do with how warm
they are. Probably the gums are a better indicator, but even those I find
vary somewhat in color.

I've just lost my closest friend other than my husband. Tomi and I have had a

There was a kitten crying in the trees, cold and wet, and my husband
Kisa and Tomi weren't related. Kisa was about a month older than him. They
were very close though, so one may have passed it on to the other, just like
one likely passed the FeLV to the other.
I'm giving Tomi dexamethasone, even though the vet didn't presribe it, about
.5 cc twice a day.
I find also that farmers in general don't have alot of respect for animal
lives. I guess it goes hand in hand with the nature of the business. When you

As for transmission of the virus, as long as the cats aren't sharing
