Hideyo, I have a kitty that does not use the litte box regularly, much to our dislike, and I am so going to try that towel in a kitty box thing because everytime I have clothes on the floor to put into the wash, she tinkles on them! I will let you know how this goes and thanks so much for the

Carrie, Kitty urine washes out quite nicely in the wash I've learned, so just throw the rug in the wash if you don't think it would become too unraveled. A towel would be a better choice because those can be washed over and over. If this works for Pepper, I will buy several cheap towels for her

Yes it sounds good, my problem is I do rescue, so I am concerned I would start a trend with a towel in the box, hu, maybe I need to cage her and try to reprogram her, I dont know, in my case I dont see it working as there are too many that could end up with potty issues because of it, oh well

Oh.. I know what you mean... but not everyone will prefer to use towel.. trust me, I have got a couple of dozens at home... you are right, some may decide to pee on towel instead of regular litter box (some of mine do), but others just like to use normal litter box.. I guess my alternative was for

How long is the owner in jail, Hideyo? Yes, you are going to have a tough time if you have to give them up, too. Maybe it won't come to that, tho. They can't depend on her, that's clear. (Heck, if it weren't for you, they probably would have been euthanized by the time she came out.) Hideyo,

Well, I've managed to prick myself with the green too...I find both hard to open. It's hard to monitor the water level too while you're trying to keep kitty and needle in place, neither moving. - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org

Hi, I am sorry that I have not written back to you about my Tsubomi, as you know, things have been a bit hectic with the animal control issue, and of course with unexpected condition of Garfunkle. Garfunkle is doing good, he still is not back to normal and may take months before. When I thought

Dear Hideyo I'm so glad to hear the news today is good, Hideyo---you and your furballs, especially Garfunkle, have been through such a lot in recent days. I hope Ghandi and Ruby-E are doing well too. Of course, Hideyo---take as much time as you need in deciding about Tsubomi. (I know how big a

Thank you very much for your kindness as always, Kerry. And thank you for mentioning about Ghandi and Ruby-E. They are doing great. Ruby-E is doing so much better after dental work and I am so glad - since she is very feral, I really cannot give any medications (it was very traumatic to catch

Kerry, did I tell you about terumo needles? Let me ship some to you. If you are using Monoject right now, you will find much easier to use terumo -- it's so smooth that you don't even know that you are poking... with Monoject.. I had to use a couple of needles when Papa needed fluid (he is my FIV
