    Litter Robot Open Air vs Litter Robot II?

    Hi guys. :) So, as I mentioned in another thread, my LR II died.  They think it's an electrical issue. In looking at getting a new one, I was looking at the LR III aka the Litter Robot Open Air. Anybody know much about it, or have it?  My main concerns so far are that it's larger than the LR...

    Four 2 week old orphaned kittens need a home!

    We have taken in a litter of FOUR kittens that appear to have been abandoned.  These kittens are by far the youngest I have ever dealt with.  They appear to be 2 weeks old by my guess based on the following: - Eyes open (vision limited / still developing) - Ears still (somewhat) flopped over...

    Coco's Close-up

    Taken a few months ago with an old Konica Minolta 5D using a 50mm lens @ f/1.7 with ISO 100 and 1/500 sec. Coco belongs to my parents.  She was rescued on Valentines day a few years ago when my mother was pulling into the drive-way and noticed that she did not look feral.  Her owner had been...

    I HAS A DRAGONFLY!!!!

    I was testing a new lens for my camera and noticed that one of the feral kittens that we take care of had something in her mouth.  I thought it was a stick.  Only after reviewing the photo did I see what it actually was - a dragonfly.  She was SO excited about it.  This was at 200mm @ f/2.8 and...

    Alfie is in the hospital

    I don't post often these days. I know. Sorry. I'll try to be better about it. Those of you who have been on here for at least 6 years or so might remember that my rescued feral kitten Ally (who is now 6 years old and on my lap) had a companion that I adopted: Ollie. Those of you who have...

    Ultrasonic humidifiers - can cats hear them? Should I stay away from them?

    Hi guys.  I don't remember the last time I posted here, but it was probably over a year ago at least.  Sorry about that, my life has been set to "Chaos" mode throughout law school. Right now I've got a problem though that you can help me with.  My apartment is dry - really dry - 16% humidity...

    I think my parents are adopting a cat they found - and then another one to keep it company

    I'll elaborate more on this when I get a moment, but I'm under the impression right now that a cat found a week ago, which had no collar, but a chip, and may have been missing for days without the owner knowing because he's out of town, and the person he had pet-sitting this cat has vanished...

    Alfie is pooping in the dirty towels?

    I noticed this a few weeks ago once, but thought maybe it was vomit. Today though, I found a large amount of diarrhea in my towels.  He just got a couple vaccines 2 days ago, could it be that? Is it that the towels are soft and relatively clean and dry?  Why not the litter box? Vet said he...

    Photography enthusiasts / pros question

    Hypothetical: Assume that the new Nikon D4 and Nikon D800 were $1 each.  No price difference.  Assume that lenses are also ridiculously cheap, maybe 50 cents each for the best you can buy.  Assume for whatever reason you can also only purchase 1 or the other.  Between the D4 and the D800, given...

    The moment of clarity - when you know you have a problem

    So, I've just had an epiphany.  I think I may need to see a doctor.  I don't know for sure, but I think I have a problem. You see, I'm trying to write a law brief in opposition of a motion to dismiss.  If you don't know what that is, no problem - I can assure you that you're not missing...

    Alfie - kitten pics (~5 months)

    I'm kind of disappointed at how these came out.  I fixed the exposure a bit, but now they're slightly over-exposed (I wanted a little bit of that, but maybe I went too far).  Also, I shot almost all of them at ISO 800, so there's a fair amount of noise, amplified by my fixing the initial...

    Song for a memorial video for Ollie - is this good?

    I like this song because it captures how sad I am and how magical, beautiful, and amazing Ollie was. My fear is that some people will be turned off by it though.  Thinking of it as "unnecessarily melodramatic." The song is "Sometimes When it Rains" by Secret Garden (one of my favorite groups)...

    Sedate Ally for my flight on Friday? What about Alfie - too young?

    Let me start by saying the Ally is a very good flier.  Every time I've taken her on a plane, people compliment how well behaved she is, and how she (with the exception of being taken out of the carrier for TSA when she freaks out a little bit and becomes a velcro cat) is calm the whole time. ...

    Why is the acronym DH used so much here?

    I see it a lot and I don't see it nearly as much elsewhere.  I'm just curious. I never see DW (maybe because it's too close to DWI - I don't know).  I'm just curious as to what is the significance of using DH as opposed to "my husband"?  Just shorter? Maybe this falls into the category of...

    Kitten showing odd (to me) aggression - how to train certain aspects out?

    So, my ~4 month old red and white tabby is shall we say - a little bit aggressive. First off, he likes to come up to Ally, bop her on the head with his paw, and then run away.  That's probably just play, but Ally doesn't like it one bit.  He also chases her around the room.  She's running away...

    How much L-Lysine and Buffered Vitamin C for a ~4 month old kitten

    As in http://www.thecatsite.com/t/239930/new-cat-name-thread  - I adopted a cat today.  He's about 4 months old. I want to put him on L-Lysine and Buffered Vitamin C to help avoid developing a URI from anything he might have caught from other cats up for adoption. I bought L-Lysine capsules -...

    New cat - name thread

    As I posted in Crossing the Bridge.  Ollie sadly and very unexpectedly passed away 48 hours ago.  Some of you who have been on this forum for at least 3 years might remember that the primary motivating factor behind adopting Ollie at the time was to help Ally feel comfortable by never being...

    RIP Ollie

    I came home to find Ollie unable to walk. His hind legs had gone limp. I had only been gone for a few hours. Rushed him to the emergency vet. He was diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy induced saddle thrombosis. Vet told me there was only a 10% chance of them being able to dissolve...
