Have a situation with Skyler (my 5 year old nuetered male) about the litterbox that is not his fault but need your advice. We have used a mixture we made up of scooping litter along with a corn litter combination for years and never had a problem with peeing outside the box. Last time we went to Petsmart they had a different brand of corn litter that we went ahead and bought. Last weekend when we dumped out their old litter that we do regularly to give them "fresh" we used the new corn. Both he and Maggie pooped outside the box. Mike went to Petco and found the original corn and we replaced the contents of the box back to the original mix.

Skyler has on occasion used our bath mat to poop....but very rarely. He used it again and also peeded. We put the mat in the washer and cleaned the surrounding area and sprayed with Nature's Miracle Stain and Odor Remover. Skyler is still going back to the mat daily for the past 4 days and has peed on the mat with some over flow on the carpet. We treat the area everytime and clean the rug.

Also did not know that the corn is worse for cat allergies...which is the reason we started using it because we thought it would help Maggie's asthma?!?

1) Should I stop using the corn now that I know it can make things worse for her ...or do you think that will throw them off more?

2) Should I go ahead and remove the hood off their litterbox they've always used to make it more attractive to them?

3)Should I use another urine cleaner spray in the bathroom area, and which one do you like?

4) Should we get another box and put it in front of the shower where the mat is?

Skyler has never done this until this past weekend when we made the mistake of using a different litter that neither of them liked. Maggie got over the change back to the correct mix right away ...but not so with him. We neeed your help!!!!! Have not punished him because he doesn't understand and it would only make the situation worse. Poor Skyler...poor us.
Thanks in advance,

What is the most recommended kitty litter, esp for Ragdolls? Clumping or non-clumping type? For clumping type, it is of course very easy to scoop out the clumps daily, but what is the impact (to the health) if the cats accidentally ingest the sand while grooming themselves daily, esp in long term? For non-clumping type, there is going to be this tracking and dust issue. How does one clean the non-clumping type? Weekly change of sand?
What about the newer types of pine/corn pellets and recycled paper? Silica crystals? Are they good? Or just marketing strategies of introducing new stuffs?
Hope to get some advice/feedback here... Thks in advance! ]]>

Happy 1st Birthday to my Beautiful Jasper!!

Jaz is such a joy to own, beautiful in every way and purrsonality is just the BEST.

Hard to believe that just 252 days ago this very special boy came in to my life. Feels like he has been with us forever yet I cannot believe he is a year old already.

Here he is on the day we got him home...


And here he is now... One Year Old..


I was going to take him outside on his harness and leash today but the weather wasn't very nice and gave us a 44 degrees celcius (111 fahrenheit) day so we will have to give that a miss.

Happy Birthday to Charma, Dolly & Cristal today too. Brother Jaz sends purrs your way

Sonny is a blue colorpoint and Sergio, I believe, is a Chocolate Colorpoint. He looks a lot like his father Count Chocula.

Aren't they lovely? They are both only a little over 1, I think.

I would be staying there for 2 nights and 3 days and I do have permission to bring Solo with me. I just worry that the long drive, change of scenery, then drive home might be too much stress for him. Plus there are two dogs and one other cat at the place I am going, so again not sure if Solo would be thrilled (although he might have a blast, I just don't know).

My question is, should I bring him? Leave him home? Hire a kitty sitter? Board him? What would you guys do?

I am leaning towards leaving him home, he is no longer a little pig since I got him an automatic food dish and so he will not starve... he might be depressed but I am sure he would get over it.

Thanks for any advice in advance!]]>
