Inside is better for mom and dad's sanity, too.

HyperMom: Yes it is...Sajó kitty watches everything. There is a Big Spider that comes out at 9:30 pm and just hangs on the outside window.He waits for that spider to come out. Then chirps away at it.

Dipo, today in the grocery store, pet section, I noticed a system that you put the 'leavings' in and twist a turn to seal in the odors, then on to the next twist, and so on and so on. I think there are simular gadgets on the market to dispose of baby diapers.

Tucker and Elsa are beautiful kitties! I've already gushed over Soleil and Bailey in the Dog thread!

Dipo, I use the plastic bags that my newspaper comes in. I usually gather up a couple of days' worth of "eliminations" and then tie a knot and dump the entire thing in our trash chute (which ends up in the dumpster). I'll set the bag by my front door (even though I work from home, I'll still go out at least once a day, and take it down or out with me then). In the past, I'd buy cheap zip top bags, and put a day's worth of stuff in there. But that got expensive and wasteful. Others I know use the plastic grocery bags (as long as there are no holes). They'll use one every day or so, just like I do with the newspaper bags. And yeah, I know. They aren't recycled in the dump and take forever to break down. But there's no other way I can dispose of that stuff in our condo trash. It has to be wrapped in plastic. (All "wet trash", per our CC&R's.) Finally, there IS a type of litter that is flushable. I dunno about it, and I've been hesitant to try it since I do live in a condo and if it plugs up the plumping, it'd be my bill to pay to fix it. Maybe someone here has tried it?

I use Feline Pine, sift out the 'nuggets' and flush them. No muss, no fuss...plus the wood pellets smell wonderful...and no DUST.

Thanks everyone, I was thinking it might be a gather it up for the day and take it out to the trash on my way to work every morning. It's just been so long since I had this issue I needed some ideas. I am going to look for that disposal stuff OG at the store but in the meantime I think I have a bunch of plastic bags I can use to accomplish the task.

Sorry, I had missed these posts earlier... ~ I'm sending my prayers to Zuni and her family. ~ Baby Kitty is adorable and Sajó is simply gorgeous. My family has always had black cats so I just love them. That's a great photo of the pair snuggled together.

Its been a very long time since I posted pics of either of my babies and these were taken and d/l'd just before I broke the camera.
This is, of course, Squirt. No recent pics of Angel, I'm afraid.

Yes Costa, I'm in total agreement with the whole Inside-Cat thing... It would be alot of work but certainly do-able. It just never felt like he was MY cat, instead, it was more that he adopted us, so he just came and went as he pleased... BUT...a trip to the vets on Friday ($99.00 later) just made me think twice. Lately he'd been favouring his back legs, he walked fine but he didn't sit or crouch well and his tail seemed lifeless....Yep, he had been in a fight and the wound was infected. He couldn't even feel his tail. Hes doing much better now with pain meds and antibiotics...his tail is back to normal, well, except for the big shaved patch..hehe

GAL, I saw the CUTEST orange male cat at Petsmart over the weekend.. if he walked in on you, you wouldn't be able to resist him. He was tabby a red/orange with the most wonderful markings and copper eyes. And SO friendly!

So send some kitty kisses my way... my Kassie kitty, my healthy little princess, isn't feeling too good. She's been throwing up and feeling restless. She was trying to sleep in a chair in my office and, I kid you not, was doing the moaning and whining thing that ADULTS do when they are sick in bed! Anyways, took her to the vet and they gave her subcu fluids and an injection for the nausea. And sent me home with oral meds (for the nausea) and special food (Hills i/d). She's walking around the house crying. I feel so badly for her! And we have no clue what's wrong!!!

I hope she just age a bug that didn't agree with her. We think that's what Ophie did a few weeks ago.

OG is right...she might have eaten a spider. You have done all the right things and Kassie is so healthy..she will be ok. All our prayers will be with you. I know how much she means to you.

This is Elvis. My 11 year old black male persian who is now allergic to his fur and we have to keep him shaved. This is his grumpy wet face a few minutes ago after he played in the shower, yes, Elvis LOVES water!
