Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Never have an odor problem here. As soon as Koko uses the box he yowls and it's cleaned right out. Te is quite the housekeeper. After he eats he fans his left paw open and sweeps the floor. I also use the super clump for easy clean up. You will have a lot of love from your new kitty. Don't rush to pick her up and hold her for a few days unless she wants you to do so, she will have to explore her new home. They are very territorial and will come up to you much faster if you let them adjust at first. Jenni Billings <jenni wrote: hee hee.. no more thinking..

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 one thing I learned, do not leave dirty clothes, or even clean clothes on the floor, and do not leave wash baskets with either clean or dirty clothes ANYWHERE. This means, when you take you wash out of the dryer, you must put it away immediately or cover the washbasket with something because some cats, like my little brat see that basket as a nice new fresh litter box. It's ok as long as you either cover it or put the wash away right away. that's about it. Oh, and watch out for plants. Make sure your plants are not kitty poison.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Koko doesn't touch a plant but some do. I do know poinsettia and definbachia are bad. maybe Gary knows.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 Jenni - if you have any plants - search online to see if any of them are toxic to kitties, and also cover the dirt with largish gravel/marble chips, something, or consider hanging them. Do not allow near chocolate. If you ever give Wicky people food in response to begging, be prepared for constant begging. Playtime and brushing every day is important. Hmmm,, that's all that immediately pops into mind.... *felinehugs* Amy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My laundry basket was never " litter " , it was " ooohhhhhh waaaaarm beeeedddd yooouuuu ccccannnnn'''tttt ttaakkee the waaaarmth awaaaaayy frooommmm meeeee " *lol* I don't even use a laundry basket anymore (I fold and immediately put away, one of the few tasks I'm on top of!), but I still have the basket, and it's Zoe's favorite place to hang out. Came in handy a couple of months ago when I was having to feed her via a stomach tube - she would just get in the basket and I could feed her.

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2005 Report Share Posted October 11, 2005 oh boy.. that list is great. we just got a whole house full of plants about a week ago.. one of the few that I know the name of is poisonous.. I will have to see if Wicky is a plant eater, or not.. and I'll have to see what my plants are.. maybe I can keep them in spaces that Wicky won't be.. oy. =) thanks for the list..

Chloe (her sister) had the dry problem... when I tried to switch their diet to a more natural one (yeah, I actually bought liver, turkey and chicken, and ground them up in my KitchenAid, it was so disgusting), Zoe decided she didn't like it. This was even with phasing it in really gradually. Eventually she stopped eating completely and wouldn't even eat her regular food straight up anymore. I had a book which said " oh, if the cat's hungry enough she'll eat " - what a lie! Zoe refused to eat anything and ended up with severe jaundice (when cats don't eat their bodies metabolize fat faster than their livers can keep up) and I had to feed her via a tube implanted in her stomach. But now, she's back to her regular food, but more wet than dry (for Chloe's issues), and the only way you could tell she ever had a tube would be internally - the side of stomach is now attached to the side of her abdominal wall.
