Nature’s Miracle Cat Litter Review


Here is a post from January 2016 for Throwback Thursday. After this post, I continued to use Dr. Elseys because it was just easier to find.

Years ago, to help stop Chris from pooping on the floor, I started using Dr. Elsey’s Precious Cat Unscented Clumping Cat Litter along with their Litter Attractant. This cut the pooping in half and moving all the litter boxes to the same room eliminated the problem. We continued using the litter and attractant for some time after that just to be sure. Eventually we stopped buying the attractant but continued to use Dr. Elsey’s litter because it was the least dusty litter that I have ever used. A few months ago, when Puck started pooping on the sofa (and we blamed Chris) we bought the cat attractant again.

Recently I needed to change the boxes and Rose was sick of paying a premium price for that litter and wanted me to buy something cheaper. I told her I would look and headed off to PetSmart. Once there I discovered…

Poor, Sick Frankie


Here is a post from January of 2016 for Throwback Thursday. I’m not sure why I thought Frankie was sick back then because he has been sneezing for over eight years.

Our cat Frankie has a bad cold and has been sneezing for several days now. I feel bad for him but he is eating and I see no reason to take him to the vet just yet, but I do hope he gets better soon.

Chia Cat Grass Planter Review


Here is a post for Throwback Thursday from January 2016 about cat grass. I have learned that cat grass is a wonderful thing to have for cats but it is fleeting. It lasts only a short time before it dies and then you have to start over.

For Christmas, the cats’ Aunt Felice got them a Chia Cat Grass Planter. A great present because they all like grass and Chris loves it. Whenever Chris gets outside, the first thing he does is eat some grass.

It comes with everything you need: a bowl with a cat on it, potting soil, seeds and instructions.

I followed the instructions and put most of the “growing mix” in the bowl, leaving two tablespoons out for later.

I then added the grass seeds.

Next I covered the seeds with the remaining dirt. By then I had the attention of all the cats.

The instructions said to cover it loosely with plastic wrap so I did that and put it on the counter for a few days. I then put a little water in it and placed it outside where it could get some sun without someone eating it.

Checkmate


Chris doesn’t always win. Sometimes I am smarter than he is. When he started knocking over his food bowl, I started keeping the end bowl mostly empty but then he would go to a lot of trouble to knock over all the bowls, which seemed illogical because he started doing it because he was too lazy to stand up.

I decided to buy another pair of bowls on a wooden stand so now he has to eat standing up again.

Check and mate!
