for everyone on this awesomely snowy Thanksgiving day. I just wanted to say I am thankful for everything I have my family, friends, husband, and my kitties.
Now onto the fun.. the litter box. We all dread this nasty stinky ole thing. Its a plastic box that has tons of gross stuff in it. But all cats need it, unless you potty train them. But, who has time to toilet train your cat? I love cats, but I am not crazy enough to potty train my cat to go to the toilet. A cool technology that some people use are cat genies or automatic boxes. I have heard good things about them, but I don't want to get five of them at $100-300 dollars a piece.
The cat genies are the best ones to get, because there are so many options for them and you can connect them right to your toilet water line or washer and dryer line to use for the water to clean out the boxes. I prefer to use my plastic ones that have the cover. The cover because then my kitties cannot throw the litter all over. In every household, they say for every one cat you have, there should be 2 litter boxes for them. I agree with that, because some cats can be territorial over their "private" space. I have 4 of them in my home, with 5 cats and it works good.
For litter, I use Tidy Cats. It is a non scoopable litter because with my cats, I have to change it out so often, so I just replace all of it. Tidy cats is good with a little baking soda on it, and the smell will be very small for the first few days. If you do not change it within 6-7 days, it will get a hint of kitty poo scent. A lot of people like to use scoopable litter because then they scoop it out every day, so it can last a long time. It usually works well with 1-3 cats. Another litter I have tried is corn litter, a more natural litter. I do not recommend using it... it is very stinky within a few hours. Not a smell I would like to have linger. Bottom line, when you buy your cat litter, buy middle priced stuff. I buy Tidy Cats because it is not bottom line, but I don't spend all my money on cat litter. The store brands like Walmart's Special Kitty or any other similar, are terrible and stink right away. Better off going a step up.
Now that we got poo out of the way, what about cats when they play? .... Tomorrow will be the day we talk about all of it, from laser pointers, catnip, balls, mice, when to play, how to play, feathers, and anything else that relates to it!! Playday Friday!!
Have a great Thanksgiving! Don't forget to get your kitty something special.
