You're right he is more likely to notice buns in the basement than the missing cages.

That is a good idea. I will bring one of the girls to a show & see what the judge has to say. Should be a good learning experience. Maybe she'll even win something

good luck on your first show, I can't wait to see pics of your new buns (rabbits)

argh I can't for the life of me figure out how kittays are so dern cute but smell so dern bad. I have to clean that thing called the litter box 3 times a day at least & it still stinks Tempted to send them outside to go mousing but don't want anything to happen to them.

Coffee is done. Ahhhhhhhh. Yummmmmmmm.

It was so cold out there today waiting on the bus for my daughter I think my nose got frostbitten & I am soooooo ready for this coffee.

Sorry for the boring journal entry but just wanted to vent for a second here before I head on out into the wild tundra to do the farm chores

what kind of litter box do you use?

I use a box called the breeze made by tidy cat sold at walmart it is bright green, change pad weekly and scoop daily throw out pellets and change one a month, doesn't smell like most boxes because liquid goes into the pad and that is what makes them smell bad, unless you walk in right after they used the box
I have 4 indoor cats so I have two boxes, the system I really want is found here

It's just a regular old scoop it yourself box. BUT it's not really the urine that smells bad. It pretty much keeps that under control It's the OTHER stuff *gag* I know I could probably buy expensive food & cut down on that a little but any suggestions? I don't want to spring for the expensive stuff if I'm not sure it will work. Probably doesn't help that I have THREE kittays, but what can I say. They're like potato chips you can't have just one & I ended up rescuing my very favorite snuggliest kittay & it wasn't planned at all. That one put us over the top with 3. LOL

Here's that devlish little snuggler. He even snuggles in the kids drawers

males, females? the higher the protien the better the food, and you want protien in meat not veggie based, cats are the only 100% carnivores on earth. (big or small) cats will graze grass mostly to clean out furr balls.

the more veggie in the food = more waste, i proved that to my hubby when I ran out of their special food cleaned boxes 3x a day and got 3x the smell.

2 females and Mr. Snuggle Stuff in the pic above is a male. So what are some good high animal protein food suggestions?

 

[autumnprairie]

I actually feed script food, science diet cd because of my Maine coon are so susceptable to blockages. they have a new one the wild something but I think it is very expensive let me research since I really don't know what is out there anymore

my mine thing for me was high protien, no food dyes
if you want to know how I research for foods

to figure the actual protien
protien +fat+moisture= total protien at least the 1st two ingredients need to be meat based

Felids aren't the only obligate carnivores in the animal kingdom there are many species, they are just the best known example. All crocodilians, members of the dolphin family (Orcas especially), predatory birds, ferrets etc. are all obligate carnivores.

This is an excellent article regarding nutrition for the domestic cat, and note that is focuses on the importance of water, since our pet cats were domesticated from a species of desert cat, adapted to drink little water and get most of the moisture needed from the flesh of prey. That part of cat physiology has not been domesticated out of them, either.

That is a lot of info for someone that merely wants to make the cat box smell less....

But thanks
