Re: Litterboxes
I basically do the same thing. Clean one box and wash a day. 5 boxes. Dr. Elsey's is expensive here. I use arm and hammer or something on sale at walmart. Litter is expensive. :( t laurieskatz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dr. Elseys' Ultra Precious Cats. I fill 2 boxes from one 40lb bag. I have 6 boxes for 5 cats. I scoop 3 or more times a day. Dump each box and wash with soap and water and refill with fresh litter once a week. I wash a box a day (take Sunday off) so kittys always have one fresh box. I have 3 boxes in each of 2 locations (3 on second floor and 3 on main floor).. I use the high back boxes from Drs. Foster Smith. I don't buy the covers, just the boxes. If they are more zealously using on box, I may have to add litter part way through the week. Laurie

Re: California
Hi All, For everyone living in So.Cal, or for those of us who have friends & relatives living there (my youngest sister lives in San Diego) - you are in my constant prayers. While the rest of us are waiting for any news or wondering how we can help - I received this from another list & thought I should pass it on: --- Aloha Oneness Ohana (family), San Diego and Southern California need our help! Turn off your TV and instead SEE, FEEL, HEAR and KNOW all of the land being green and lush with the sky being cloudy and raining. Imagine what 13,000 of us can do if we all focus our intention in the same way! Only focus on the resolution. Only lush and green is to be seen! Spread the word! I love you, we are One Ho'okahi (Laurie) --- Kat (Mew Jersey) On Wed, 24 Oct 2007, Jane Lyons wrote: > Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 07:15:28 -0400 > From: Jane Lyons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.org > Subject: California > > thinking of Nina and everyone in So California > who have been ravaged by these fires.and of all > the animals. > Please let us know if there is anyway we can help. > Jane > >
Re: Litterboxes
If you have the patience and extra boxes you can line the bottom of a box with newspapers and top with litter. The litter needs to the poured from one box to another then the papers pulled and replaced. They absorb a lot of urine and help with odor. I've done this a few times for cats who didn't want me in their space to clean the boxes. It has been a while so you might experiment with it. If you keep an eye one Kroger's they put A and H on sale 2 for 1 every 3-4 months. Meijer's puts the silica on sale big time too. I get rain checks and stock up big time. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

Re: Litterboxes
Sorry. silica pearls or crystals...I'm building a house and my mind wandered from litter to caulk to flowers. Dixie doesn't like the pearls. They get stuck under her nails and in her paws. They don't hurt but they aggravate. She is fine with the crystals. I wish she would use them without the A and H but they make a lot of noise and that upsets her. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.

Autumn - Update amd Transfer Factor Question
Hey Everyone, Thank you so much for the support and kind messages. Autumn has finally recovered and is no longer in pain. Her vets keep pushing me to give her vaccinations, but shortly after she has them she gets sick! I don't think they are using dead vaccines, which is recommended for FELV+. I don't understand why most vets don't do more to educate themselves about this disease. Hopefully the Feline Omega Interferon becomes FDA approved and be readily available. Where do most people get their Transfer Factor Plus? We are looking for a specialist for Autumn, but they are hard to find in our area. Thank you again. She is a healthy, happy 15 week old. Cute as a button and highly rambunctious! She used to sleep on the floor, but now she sleeps in the bed curled up against my neck and when she sleeps deeply her little tongue sticks out. So cute! ~Susan A.
Re: Autumn - Update amd Transfer Factor Question
I get mine thru my holistic vet which is no help to you. However, you can do a Google search. Re: vaccinations. There is no way I would ever consider vaccinating a cat with a compromised immune system and I have regular as well as holistic vets who support this decision. If she is an indoor cat you have very little to be concerned with. I would take the odds and just ignore the vaccinations. If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who will deal likewise with their fellow man.
