Had my cat for I dunno 8 years. Love her...but even though she is short hair...she sheds lots of hair.
Pain in the ass to keep a clean house.
Not fixed cuz I'm a dumbass and not declawed.
I don't necessarily agree with it but at times wished she was...couches are jacked up.
Sheds lots of hair. Has 'spraYed' or peed? A handfu of times. CaT urine is fucking sick. When she goes in heat...I shouda Had her fixed.
Still her very much and she's Tiny...

Having a party Saturday then sunday we are going to be searching for a kitten or young cat too adopt. Maybe 2. Very excited!

Any shelters you recommend? We have been to Kay's already and will probably go to the buddy foundation since its by our house

Adopted a little buddy yesterday. His name is dexter. He is a thug, came from 18th and California.

 

[big_shmoop]

Gratz on your new little buddy.

I started with one cat, now I have 4...and two dogs. My house is a fucking zoo and I wouldn't have it any other way.

He's adorable, congrats!

 

[pajamasam]

so question. He craps in the litter box which is great. I scoop it whenever i notice he goes to the bathroom. I put it in a grocery bag and then throw it in the closeable trashcan in the kitchen. It smells up the whole house, like really bad.

You guys have any suggestions to make my garbage not stink so bad?

Sadly your best bet is to take it outside right away. If you don't want to be running in and out you could get a small air tight Rubbermaid container that keep put the bags in there and run them down once a day/every few days to save on the trips.

If your box is near a toilet you can get some of the flushable litter options and get rid of the bag all together.

Boom. You're welcome. Depending where your litter box is, just keep this right next to it. I never smell anything downstairs unless he has just taken a shit. Fill bag, cut bag, toss bag when it gets full.

I take mine to the outside garbage right away

 

[Euro]

We had a small garbage can outside on our patio, I'd just bring the litter box over to the door and scoop away.

I saw that at the store but I don't want to buy refills every other week. Can you modify it to use normal bags?

 

[Mook]

You dont need to buy refills every other week. One "container" last awhile.

And just do what I do, buy a refill pack. I last bought in October, havent had to order a new 6'er yet.

That's what we have, we go through like...3 refills every 6 months, and that's with 2 cats.

Btw, if you need any other cat supplies, let me know. I just found a box unpacking with a lot of cat stuff: food/water dishes, brushes, anti-scratch spray, toys, etc...

We don't have a cat anymore.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

You need the Cat Genie.

If I had room for it near my toilet, I'd do it in a heart beat. It looks like the bomb. Co-worker at work has one and she loves it.

Self cleaning, self flushing litter box. It basically washes itself out after every use. So urine? Not a problem. Cat shit? It grinds that shit and flushes it down the toilet for you.
