Re: Cat litter

Thanks for the link meriad! I will be getting some of this and some of the worlds best.
With clumping litter how often do you wash the tray out?? And do you throw the litter away and start a fresh? It's so tempting to just keep 'topping up'!

Re: what to tell a toddler (2 years 10 months) after the death of a pet

Hi Becca, Definitely be honest about what has happened. I wouldn't mention that he will be sleeping forever in case he gets scared of going to sleep. Ask him if he wants to see and say goodbye to the cat. I had to put my 10yr old cat to sleep a month ago. Everybody said goodbye to him before he went...

Re: My cats pee in the corner of the living room- how can I stop them?

I suggest to clean the area thoroughly to get rid of the urine smell. You can buy pet urine cleaners online. Then put a litter tray there for them to use, then slowly move it closer to where you want it. Keep the other litter tray where it is incase they are fussed about using the same one. Good luck!

Re: Cat litter

Am now on the Tesco Ultra Clumping Premium cat litter. Personally I find it way to dusty, especially when you're doing the 'unlucky' dip and sieving around. Clumps nicely like the Almo one. I'm working my way down the list :lol: What I want in cat litter: Good clumping, no odour, no dust and reasona...

She's gone in 'the zone' :lol: Basically she's saying 'back off, this is my toy!' She's in hunting mode. My 4mth kitten growls when he's running about! Nothing to worry about, just perfecting their hunting skills :)

Re: Cat litter

Almo Nature clumps nicely but like MarySkater I won't be buying it again when it's finished. The little minx keeps playing in it like a sand box!! I'm going to try the Tesco, Morrisons and Aldi ones next!

Thank you for all the kind messages. Alfie would have been 11yrs old on the 8th of April. He died four days short of his birthday.

Re: Advocate, Frontline or Bob Martin??

Do you buy it directly from the vet or get it online with a prescription? Do the vets write out these prescriptions for you if you ask? I guess they lose out on some profit as the ones I’ve seen online are half the price if bought directly.

Re: first time kitten owner - totally blind

Best to keep kitten in one room first. Also at night time put it in a dog crate with its bed, food and litter tray. Kittens have really sharp teeth and can chew electric wires. I feel comfortable doing this as it's peace of mind. They have so much energy bouncing around. Enjoy your little one!

When to introduce a kitten to a resident cat

Thinking about getting a kitten...

When would you introduce it to the current cat? After it has had all it's vaccinations?
My other cat is an outdoor cat and I don't want it to pass anything on to it.
