Save $$ on litter by using ....

"All creatures great and small,God made them all!" -the Bible newspaper schards and shredded paper to line pan instead of little which is usually made of clay and needs to be thrown out not tossed in the woods as isn't biodegradeable and can't get into water supply. With the planet as bad off as it is, not sure why all products aren't earth-friendly. Can make your own litter by following directions on this link. I also use Cat's Pride clumping,scoopable litter

if use it at all as it is flushable so must be ok to toss in compost pile. The poopies or feces, I toss in the toilet though. Also this lessens the ammount of plastic,nonrecyclable plastic bags being tossed in land fills full of pet waste. This is a healthier way of dealing with pet waste too as smells better in house and pets like it clean,especially cats so you can empty box daily this way instead of weekly. I also use leaves,baking soda. Tried the wheat pellets and didn't like it and then used the pine

which is too strong to smell and now also tried the arm and hammer brand but that too stinks so.

Renting Housing With Pets Can Be Hard..

"All creatures great and small,God made them all!" -the Bible

Due to the actions of a few..who make it bad for responsible pet owners like myself and probably you too. Our pets are all rescues who were abandoned by their previous owners for a multitude of reasons including moving to non-pet friendly housing. Is sad when You have to give up a pet who becomes like a family member. I know I LOVe my babies who are my kids as I have nonhuman ones. What do you think?

I am facing this situation myself as I have been asked to leave housing I recently moved into! I have 8 cats I acquired from each place I had lived as were neglected by their previous owners and I took pity on them and took h in. For doing God's work, I am facing homelessness. Is this fair?

The little guy has adjusted now finally after a few days and the new place is much nicer than the old one so am happier here and with the move overall.

'Smokey' R.I.P.

"All creatures great and small,God made them all!" -the Bible

REceived some sa news today, that one of the stray cas we feed, had been hit and killed by a car up the road. We had planned to use a have a heart trap before winter and trap him and his 4 buddies who vist us faithfully from God knows where. I will miss him and was quite saddened by the news. In a way perhaps, his life is a lesson for all of us in two ways. One it sheds light on the plight of homeless animals everywhere. Secondly, atleast he was cried over upon his passing. Many people don't even get that! What do you think? God Bless you Smokey. See you on the RAinbow bridge my little prince. XXOO -Ann
