Sometimes I forget my cat is a cat.

Has this ever happened to anyone else? I've had my girl Pidge for a year and a half now, and we moved together in March, and since then it's just been me and her. Sometimes I don't think i'd have survived the move without her. We're so deeply bonded, I really forget that she is just a little cat, becaues she really is her own "being." She has her own energy, and I've just started thinking of her in my head like I would any other friend. lol!

I wish I could post a picture of her. Anyone know how?

Thanks to anyone who reads my crazy-cat-lady rantings!

I treat my pets as people as well. They are my children. I buy gifts for them. I wrap presents at xmas time for them. I treat them to special meals on their birthdays. And when my love is outta town or not home for dinner, i make fish (he hates fih) and i share the meal with my kitty's. ONe plate is seasoned for me and one plain for them. I talk to them as if they were human. Sometimes i get the look of, "Okay lady, i have no idea what your talking about" lol. But for the most part they understad.

I am considering giving her to my bf's dad because our apartment is small and the stench of the litter box gets to me. We clean it up and it still smells bad. I told my little Gem daugther, and she started cryign up a storm. Awww, it melted my heart (: My Gem is so calm and collected, she rarely ever cries over anything. So for now we will continue to have Magus as part of our clan. If anyone has any tips on keeping the liter from smelling terrible and repelling cats from the minibinds, my Gem would appreciate it very much.

You can also do a bottom layer of the clumping stuff and the regular litter over it - BUT.. you must clean it out at least once a week. I completely change the clumping litter ever two weeks (since I remove the balls everyday).

There are also little portable ionic breeze things that filter the air (which I have placed near the box as well).

I also prefer litter bags over the box and litter with baking soda (you can even put a layer of soda down on the bag, then put the litter over that).

It is rare that my little box has an odor. If you keep up on the cleaning (I love those little grocery bags because every day I dump the wads in the outside trash).

I have to fat cats and even left them for 3 days with two litter boxes and it still didn't smell (I had a neighbor check on them AND they have a self feeder / waterer).

Very recently, I discovered the most amazing cat litter. A woman I know who is a pet sitter told me about this and said you will never know you have a litter box. I'm like: ok lady, let's see...so she gave me a bag to try. I believe it is silica-based and there really is NO ODOR. The material absorbs all the moisture, even from the solids in the litter box. I have two cats and believe me, with regular litter, the odor builds up after a short period of time.

The litter is called The Ultimate Premium Cat Litter. Go to www dot ultimatepetproducts dot com to see about this product. I am sold. On the site, they sell it for I think $12.95, but the woman I know sells it for $9.00. All you do, is every day, scoop the waste and flush that, then stir the litter so it's evenly mixed. It's time to replace when it is the color of cornmeal (product starts out sort of translucent). One 5 lb bag will give you enough to fill a regular sized litter box twice and lasts about a month.
