You know, my cats live better than me. They have many multi level cat trees, hammocks, faux leopard print fainting couches, a loveseat sofa in their room along w/ a faux bear skin rug complete w/head. What is it that they lay in the most.? The Costco box that I tote my groceries home in.

I buy lots of litter there, ( Yesterday'sMews Tidy cat clay) except the ScoopAway which I get from Costco. (It's alot cheaper there plus I get the 2% rebates). I also buy most of my feral foods there, (once again, I do a mix w/someCostco dry). I wait until they have the Friskies cans on sale

Hi Susan, Yes, Dr. Samon writes a prescription for A/D. I am not sure how much it is by the case, I usually don't buy that much at one time. I have this theory that if you go more often and buy fewer cans it doesn't cost as much..ha! Just ask Tomlinsons where I buy a bag of food every 2 days.

We have an elderly little girl who's got a tartar problem, but is too delicate to put under for cleaning. As a result, we don't think she's been eating the crunchies we let everybody free-feed on all day. She gets whatever part of the 2 wet food cans (the little ones) that we put out every

I really like Target's house brand of clay litter, and it'scheaptoo. $2.26 for 20lbs. I use this for my Houston cat fosters, since they have a different set up. Yes, I know the theory about buying a little bit @ a time,but I just don't have the time to shop like that. Plus I like squirreling

Diane: Poor thing! That sounds so horrible! Can you get a bigger box? Monkee had the Booda Dome and he loved it. He was very private about his bathroom- he didn't want anyone to ever see him go and he was sensitive about his big size when in the litter box, so I could tell he wanted a really

Thanks, Caroline. We tried a covered box at one point, actually a couple of years ago, but she tended to poop on the lip of that too, so we switched to a regular box with a snap-on lip and that seemed to do it *for a while.* We will certainly look into the Booda Dome, although I'm sure all our

The only problem I have had w/the Booda Dome is that if they standup to pee, it will run out of the box because the top overlaps onto the bottom, make sense? I have had several clients that complain that their cats hate them and pee outside of them, when they are actually peeing in them and it

Regarding what Susan said about the Booda Dome, I guess it depends on the cat. Monkee's pee never got outside of it but then again, he was purfect! And he would have died of shame and a little OCD-freak-out if that had happened ( can you believe he came from "outside"?) But I would

Yes, our resident psycho, Tribble. At least, he's the likeliest suspect, the others are just not biters, and everybody co-exists fairly well. Mostly by giving Tribble a wide berth. And, like any bully, he chooses to act out on the smallest and weakest. The others fear him, but really could

It makes sense. They make sure to mark it so no one else will want to go near it, only they don’t want to go near it anymore either! I do have one cat who will pee on anything that is cluttering up the area around the main door. As long as the area is clean, she won’t pee. Chris From:
