We have an enclosed deck the cats go on when we allow access. Unfortunately, a couple times one cat had unknowingly been left outside and I'm thinking of investing in a motion sensor camera that has the capability to alert me of motion by the deck door. So hopefully, if it happens again, I will...

I have an asthmatic cat, so I want to suck up the cat litter dust out of the air to reduce them breathing it in as much as possible. As well as reduce litter dust within the room. I'm fine replacing when needed, if this results in shortened life of the filter. My cats are used to my small one...

So I ended up with this one: Winix am80 AM80 4-Stage True HEPA Air Purifier with Washable AOC™ Carbon Filter & PlasmaWave® Technology I think it's bigger than the ones others posted here, but I didn't see a similar smaller sized one that still had the 4-stage. It is very quiet on low setting...

Thanks everyone! Lots of good info to look over.

@IndyJones can you be more descriptive on why silica litter is bad? If the litter is being disinfected in the cleaning process, can you explain more why e coli can easily hide? Are you familiar with the cleaning process people are using to disinfect?

I just saw a tik tok about someone washing their silica cat litter to keep reusing it to help reduce waste. Found another video on YouTube who's been doing it for over ten years. I'm very intrigued now and want to know if anyone here has done this and what strategies you use for cleaning and how...

Yes, although I almost never bought on Amazon before bc often chewy was cheaper. Only started last few years, often when a great deal is posted on a deals website I frequent. I've also noticed more recently (past 6 months??) Amazon has been having more "sales" where they have a more expensive...

Home service came today to help me let my kitty, Isabelle, go. Isabelle had made her way upstairs in the morning and spent the day on the enclosed deck. I was hoping to do it there, since Isabelle enjoys her time outside, so that made things easier. She was still out there when the person...

The at home service only had opening on Sunday and worried she won't last that long. They called back and said a vet can make a trip today, so I scheduled that. I'd rather do it at home than have to take her to the vet and don't want her to suffer more than she is by waiting. She hesitated at...

She's walking steadier this morning, but hardly ate any breakfast. Was excited about the liquid treat at first, but didn't eat it after putting the rest on a plate (only 1 tablespoon in packet?). Did take her meds with treat on it.

She's about 12.5 years old. She's not doing well. Looks very weak and hardly ate anything. If I can't get home service until Monday, I don't think she's going to make it nor should I put her through waiting that long. It feels like she declined so much between before vet and when she arrived...

I made an appointment with a specialist to get the ultrasound done so it would be an actual appt time. Appt was today and they found a large mass, which appears to have spread to other areas, so they believe it is cancer. They are very hesitant about surgery being a possibility due to size, so I...

Thank you so for the suggestions! Excited to look these up and pick one.

Okay, thanks. After a few nights of her using the feeder closed all the way, I tried leaving upstairs and food was gone in morning. So things worked out!

I bought my oldest a microchip feeder, however, feeling overwhelmed with training her. Mainly due to having two other cats and being unable to leave the feeder in training mode (partially closed lid when not in use) due to the other cats wanting to pry lid or push head in to get at the food...
