Babyruth, I am so happy to hear that Jessie is still eating, even if its less than it used to be.
This is good.
It makes my heart sing to know that you and Sweetpea are giving her all her favorite treats and are able to cherish these days with her.

As far as litter boxes goes, I've decided to go for the automated one. We will go to Petsmart tomorrow and I will fill you all in on it when we have it set up. I think it will be just what we need here.

I just wanted to show off a cute pic I took today of my sweetie Max. My 2 year old daughter thought Max needed a teddy to sleep with. Max thought it was a great idea!

Our cat, Dopey, jumped up on the keyboard and I yelled, 'No Dopey, bad Dopey!" My son came in and saw this and said "Bad Dopey, you should get a time out!" , when I came back in the room 5 min later this is what I saw....

Awwwww! {{Dopey}}

Ocean, I am speechless! But happy that you like kitties

Well, we have the automated cat box set up. The cedar litter smells good and China is fasinated with the whole concept. (its noisy but they don't seem to mind it) She has already "gone" and the box has "done its thing". This seems too good to be true so I'll check back tomorrow after P has had a go at it, he's a big cat and that will be the test

Hippy, love your kitty!

LOL Pamy... poor Dopey!:)

Whoohoo MsKitty! Remember to use plastic grocery bags to line the plastic receptacle so you don't have that expense!

Mooney, the "rake" keeps going off even if they haven't used it, is this normal?
Every time it goes off, China jumps in and re-arranges the litter! I guess she doesn't like it neatly "raked" lol. P still hasn't used it yet.
I have the grocery bags, but haven't used them yet, dh bought an extra set of receptacles, so we have plenty for now. It seems like it would hold a lot just for two cats.

Those things get expensive though!

The rake goes after 5-10 minutes after the sensor goes off so if MsChina is going in after the rake to mess up the sand, the box will think she went the bathroom:)

Duh! Never mind.....

I love the cedar litter! It smells so good. I would recommend it for anyone that feels they have an odor problem.

Oh! Here we again! The box just went off and she's running over there to jump in and and re-arrange! This is too funny!
P is still ignoring it.

I will use the grocery bags when this first recepticle is full, I promise.

Webkitty, I got the cedar litter one time, never again.

Daisy would use it when she peed, but she didn't like it for doing #2. I discoverd that she was doing that behind the bedroom tv set, where it is nearly impossible to get to, to clean it up. Ugh!

Hahahahahaha!!! China and the Rake is one of the funnier things going on the board right now.

Webkitty

Groochie, China just did the deed so no worries about that here.

Juju, after all the laughter and giggles you have given me over the last year, I'm glad I could reciprocate

This room smells so fresh! I feel like I'm in a commercial! Ahhhhhhhhhh

It feels like I've been away from this thread forever.

Poooor Dopey! He looks so lonely, lol.

Max is a cutey patootey! Laying down with his little teddy - awwww!!

Webkitty, you are busting me with China going in the box to disturb the finely raked litter. I can picture it too!

Pamy, two words...never ever. (but thanks for the suggestion, I appriciate it, even though its not for me)
We have too many dangers around here for my babies to venture outside.
We live on a quiet, serene, Drive, but it is directly off a very busy street. We see poor squished kitties all the time on the road. Not to mention the wild life here, including the fleas, that I swear are from another planet. Plus the intestinal worms they can pick up from being ouside and the "fighters", big males that people don't bother to neuter. Nope, mine stay in.

PS: aren't you afraid of snakes and other critters coming in through the cat door?

Update on China: I sternly told her to knock it off, the next time the box started to sift, she ran to "look" but didn't get in. Good kitty! (now she's hiding in the box in came in and attacking the plastic ties) P is still just lounging around and yawning.

It was novelty at my house at first too MsKitty! ... Every time it would rake they would run to the box and watch it. But that wore off after a couple of weeks:)

MsChina sounds like a fun kitty!

Webkitty..I agree it's not for everyone, but our kitty door goes to the backyard, they don't go out front. The only snakes, lizard, bugs, mice that come thru the kitty door are the ones our babies bring in so proudly to show me!!! I scream every time!!! I read that bringing in a 'kill' is the highest honor a pet can give their owners.

Webkitty

Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 04:10 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Your right Pamy, bringing home the kill is a very high honor! I have a phobia about snakes so that is one prize I can live without.
It WOULD be nice to have a setup where they could go out safely, maybe when we move....

Sometimes a small lizard will find its way into the house but the poor thing doesn't live long, P is a mighty hunter! growl!!!

Moon, MsChina is the nuttiest kitty I have ever had, bar none. (she's half siamese you know and very tiny)

MsHalf just because.

Oh MsKitty, I got smoochies!!! That's better than the hug you forgot to give me over in that yucky folder!

Thanks Hippy, he is my favorite cat, I can not go to sleep until I know he is in the bed. He is mentally challenged with a hairlip so I worry about him more than the others. He does not have good balance so a lot of times he gets into things and can not get out, he 'calls'(he can not meow like a regular cat so it sounds like he is talking lol) us to come save him!!
