    What litter is most like S'wheat scoop?

    Thanks for replying. Unfortunately, World's Best on Amazon is as expensive as s'wheat scoop. I wanted something cheaper.

    What litter is most like S'wheat scoop?

    I've been using s'wheat scoop but the online store I order from is too expensive. I want to change litter to one found on amazon.ca. What litter is most like s'wheat scoop? I bought Garfield but it's white, and very un-litter-like. A bit of history: Poppy was declawed (not by me!) years ago...

    Sal Suds / Litterbox?

    I wash the kitchen floor with vinegar + water. Have done that for years! I'll continue on with Dawn + vinegar + water for the litterbox. Forget the Sal Suds.

    Sal Suds / Litterbox?

    Thank you! I'll stick with the Dawn instead of going with the Sal Suds.

    Sal Suds / Litterbox?

    I've been cleaning Poppy's litterbox with a spray of vinegar + Dawn + water. I want to change the vinegar + Dawn to Sal Suds. Is it safe to clean a litterbox with Sal Suds?

    Electric Can Opener

    I've been popping the covers off the Weruva and tins of Fancy Feast, but am finding it hard to do that due to arthritis in my hands. I occasionally use a manual can opener, but wondered if there's a recommendation for a cheap electric can opener that opens the Fancy Feast tin and the Weruva...

    Comment by 'poppy2507' in article 'How Long Can You Safely Keep Cat Food Out For?'

    Poppy gets canned food. I've always understood you shouldn't leave wet (canned) cat food out much more than an hour. Poppy does better with smaller meals, and I'm retired so I can cater to her schedule. I feed her 4 or 5 small meals over the day. I immediately remove food from tins and...

    Comment by 'poppy2507' in article 'How Long Can You Safely Keep Cat Food Out For?'

    I'm curious about the re-heating, Augie. First time I've read you should not heat cat food in the microwave because it kills taurine. Poppy does better with small meals, so I feed her 4 or 5 times a day. I remove food from tins and put in glass dishes with lids, and keep in the fridge. I do nuke...

    Treats Available In Canada

    Thanks again for your suggestions, Tobermorey. I long ago tried Wellness Core dry cat food (the smallest package) as treats, and wasted my money. Poppy didn't go for that at all! But maybe she just didn't like the flavor of Wellness? I'll try Stella & Chewy "Chick Chick Chicken Dinner." A 3.5...

    Treats Available In Canada

    Thanks for responding, Tobermorey. I've tried Pure Bites, both "as is" and moistened a little. Poppy sniffs at them and walks away. Amazon.ca wants over $17 for 5 oz of Stella & Chewy's. I was looking for something a little cheaper. I may have to resort to baking and freezing chicken (I'm...

    Treats Available In Canada

    I'm looking for suggestions for cat treats easily available in Canada. Poppy is a picky eater, and she's also fish-sensitive (she gets a running sore on her face when she eats foods containing fish of any kind). So I've become a reader of food labels and we've long since settled on her wet...

    Water Dish Placement

    Poppy, a former shelter cat, has been with me for 5 years. Based on the recommendation of the shelter vet, I spent a fortune on various water fountains that Poppy ignored. I've put water bowls next to her food bowl, I've tried them across the room and in different rooms. I've never seen Poppy...

    Wellness Kittles In Canada (or Online That Ship Here)

    Thanks, again, Margo. I think I'll try the Nutrience (provided the label doesn't show it contains anything nasty.) Nutrience is made in Canada and easier to find than the U.S. - made Kittles Chicken.

    Wellness Kittles In Canada (or Online That Ship Here)

    Hi MargoLane, Thanks for replying. We've already tried PureBites a few times ... Poppy walked away from the dish I put her treats in. Wouldn't touch freeze-dried anything, altho' I tried a few different brands. She's also refusing Blue Buffalo Wilderness treats. Are you in Canada? I'm...

    Wellness Kittles In Canada (or Online That Ship Here)

    Thanks for replying, mrsgreenjeens. Amazon.com doesn't ship the Wholelife to Canada. Wholelife at amazon.ca is $18 + $6 shipping for 1 ounce. I like my cat, and want to give her treats but ... When I e-mailed Wellness I got this back in reply: "Thank you for taking the time to write to us...
