    Cat Backpack Carrier for Emergencies

    I do not have a car so if I need to evacuate or some other kind of emergency, a backpack type carrier would be best. I am concerned about a mesh or soft backpack because she gets very anxious and I don’t want her to rip it if she starts trying to get out. I would prefer a hard shell that expands...

    World's Best, Yesterday's News, or sWheat?

    My cat has asthma and I have tried a few types of litter. For the first time ever, after seeing several vets, a new vet said clay is not good in general and recommended I switch to corn-based or yesterday's news, something other than clay. I currently use Purina Tidy Cats Free & Clean and find...

    Gabapentin + Anesthesia before CT & X-Rays? I'm so worried!

    My cat is super fractious and gets so stressed out going to the vet. I have to give her gabapentin before and once the adrenalin hits it's like she's not on anything. It's like she's possessed. I have an hour car ride to the vet to get the CT scan and X-Rays, much longer than her normal vet...

    Poop Zoomies?

    I always know when my cat poops because she runs around the apartment like a crazy kitty. I thought it was just a quirky thing but I recently read it could mean the poop was uncomfortable or even painful. Her poop looks normal. Are poop zoomies normal? (I plan on asking the vet but curious of...

    What do you do with seasonal toys?

    Sometimes they are so cute I hate to just toss them, but saving until next year doesn’t seem worth it, or sanitary (to put away something they’ve been chewing on…maybe this is just me?). At the same time, I don’t want to look at the Christmas pickle or Santa mouse in July.

    Suggestions for Cat Camera

    I am looking for a camera to keep an eye on my kitty when I'm away. Preferably with a treat dispenser and/or laser light. There are so many out there, I just don't know.

    Toy Storage - open access or out of sight?

    Maya’s toys are in a plastic drawer at the moment. I guess it’s my bad, but I might forget about some toys that are in there. I think having a bin or something open might be better, but curious what others do. I have a small apartment so space is limited.

    Cat ate moth after playing with it in dust and plaster

    HUGE moth in the house. She went crazy trying to get it. She jumped on top of the bathroom cabinets and lights which she's never done before and I didn't think was possible, but when there's a will, there's a way with cats though, right... She was playing with it and had it in her mouth (it's so...

    Super sensitive back

    A strand of my hair came out while my cat was on my lap. I very gently moved it along her back to see if she could feel it and she jumped and looked back and meowed similar to when I try to comb her. Did not attack or anything, just like “Hey! What are you doing?” When I try to comb her, I can...

    Good log or journal system?

    I keep a notebook to track my cat’s behavior, health, anything remarkable... I like writing things down, but I would also like to organize the notes to easily follow patterns or to be able to refer to something quickly. Does anyone have an efficient system or app they use for this? Thank you...

    Safe Toy Similar to Breeze Pellets

    My cat likes to play with the Breeze litter pellets. LOVES it. I never see her so excited to play. She doesn't play by herself that often. Aside from the gross factor of her batting litter all over the house, I don't want her to accidentally swallow it or something. She doesn't like balls, which...

    How to disinfect safely

    I did a search and did not see any posts addressing this. Sorry if I missed it. How are you safely disinfecting everything through this coronavirus situation. I usually use natural products to clean but it’s really not going to cut it now. But I’m afraid of my cat getting sick from traditional...

    Yesterday's News

    Do you need to use more litter when filling the box with this kind? I am having trouble finding bags smaller than 30 lbs (unscented) so i'm wondering if you just need to use a lot and that's why it typically comes in a large bag. I tried to buy (5) 6lbs bags on Amazon but only one made it to me...

    Transition from Breeze system to regular litter

    This might be a silly question but anyway...Is there any way that is not gross and difficult? Trying to transition from regular litter to the breeze system was not fun, but maybe I’m doing something wrong. I guess to slowly transition I can put litter in the bottom part and the litter would...

    Using cedar to prevent bugs-ok for cats?

    I use cedar (blocks, balls, things that hang on hangers, etc.) to try to repel bugs in my closets and dresser drawers. It never occurred to me that it might be bad for cats. Should I get rid of everything cedar? If so, what else can I use to repel bugs? I vacuum very often already...

I found one from 55strands here that tests a lot of things including fruits, veggies, meat, seafood, additives, living things (dust mites, mice, etc.), cleaning supplies, fabric, fungus/mold, grasses/trees/plants, spices, and some other...
