@MeganLLB There are a number of factors that make some brands of cat litter better than others. I'm going to limit this discussion to clumping cat litter, as non-clumping is unfamiliar territory to me. Bentonite is a mineral, mined from dirt (typically surface mined, at depths up to 20 ft)...

If anyone here wants to know more about cat litter, or has any questions, just letting you know I am here! I've worked for over half a year as a lab technician at a bentonite plant. Although the majority of my tests are not for cat litter, I have done enough to know a lot about it. I can tell...

@mightyboosh @1CatOverTheLine Oh my! Oliver looks gargantuan! I'd be curious to know where he tips the scale at. I thought 25 pounds was about as big as house cats ever get; how wrong I was (but everyone has shock and awe at Chester's size). He looks to be 30 pounds or more. I can only imagine...

I'm seeing some very interesting discussions here. I'm amazed about the bruises from being swatted; you never think about the impact, only the claws. And that is very interesting about cats not having any upward force on their paws, only downward. This suggests to me that the agonist muscles...

Thank you all for the welcome!

That's why I figured I'd discuss it on here. A lot of "general rules of thumb" but nothing scientific, no numbers put on it. As far as the jumping goes, those numbers are misleading: they can jump 7 times as high, but they have about 1/7 the body weight to get to that height. It always cancels...

My parents have Chester: a 25 pound, big orange cat! Very shy, but super nice once you get to know him. But it is completely amazing just how strong he is. I remember having to hold him down while my mom trimmed his claws; the display of strength he exhibited was astounding. I had to hold on...
