It's just a regular old scoop it yourself box. BUT it's not really the urine that smells bad. It pretty much keeps that under control It's the OTHER stuff *gag* I know I could probably buy expensive food & cut down on that a little but any suggestions? I don't want to spring for the expensive stuff if I'm not sure it will work. Probably doesn't help that I have THREE kittays, but what can I say. They're like potato chips you can't have just one & I ended up rescuing my very favorite snuggliest kittay & it wasn't planned at all. That one put us over the top with 3. LOL

Here's that devlish little snuggler. He even snuggles in the kids drawers

males, females? the higher the protien the better the food, and you want protien in meat not veggie based, cats are the only 100% carnivores on earth. (big or small) cats will graze grass mostly to clean out furr balls.

the more veggie in the food = more waste, i proved that to my hubby when I ran out of their special food cleaned boxes 3x a day and got 3x the smell.

Felids aren't the only obligate carnivores in the animal kingdom there are many species, they are just the best known example. All crocodilians, members of the dolphin family (Orcas especially), predatory birds, ferrets etc. are all obligate carnivores.

This is an excellent article regarding nutrition for the domestic cat, and note that is focuses on the importance of water, since our pet cats were domesticated from a species of desert cat, adapted to drink little water and get most of the moisture needed from the flesh of prey. That part of cat physiology has not been domesticated out of them, either.

I stand corrected thanks ( I mean that sincerely)
thanks for the articles

So excited. Got a new little baby buckling reserved. He will be my lil Teva's half brother. They have the same daddy. He is due around the 20th of this month AND get to go get some bunnies on next Monday. Although we may all go pick them up on Sunday. Dh figured out my surprise The good news is I don't have to try to "hide" them for 2 weeks. I have enough stuff to try to hide so that will make my life a little easier. Enya is still getting fatter although she tends to look less fat on some days than others. She still has no udder development besides larger teats. Her who hah is more swollen looking than the other does. That is a good sign isn't it? Dh thought she might be in heat today. PLEASE don't do that to me lol. I may let Clinton in with the girls the end of this month for a while again just in case. Posey is in with all the big girls now. Posey is looking more mature & she will be 8 months old then so I think it will be ok. Can't wait to see Cinnamon's babies. I keep on checking the cam for them lol. Not much else new going on here. Excited to share some new pics with you all of buns & baby buckling in the near future
