Why Does My 6 Week Old Foster Kitten Eat the Cat Litter?

There are many safe bedding's such as: * Wood pellets * Pine shavings * Hay * Alternative bedding * Aspen shavings * Wood shavings * Fleece * Care FRESH Bedding's to avoid: * Cedar shavings * Newspaper (by itself) * Corn cob bedding * Straw Cat litter may be used. But only if your guinea pig does not try to eat it because cat litter is toxic and can bound up inside of them if consumed. If you want to use it then you will need to test it to see if they eat it. If they do, then discontinue use. People will have different opinions about which bedding is better and which is worse. You will just need to find out which one suits you more then others. We have been through many bedding's and we have finally found the right one, hay! My guinea pigs live in a huge area outside which is why hay is the best in our case. That is what I mean by finding the one that suits you the best.1. How do you litter train a rabbit?The best way to litter train a rabbit is to put the litter box where they normally poo. Get a cat litter box(a rabbit one is too small for two grown dutch bunnies) and fill 1-3cm with cat litter (preferably made out of recycled newspaper). Place this where they usually poo which is almost always in a corner so keep the litter tray in a protected/secluded spot. You may need to move the food bowls to somewhere close by. if youre rabbits do not lie the litter tray, try putting treats on top Indoor rabbits are trained the same way. Your rabbits may dig in it. :)2. What is the best automatic self cleaning cat litter box available?i have two cats and the one we use is called Litter Maid Mega. 20 minutes after the cats leave the litter box, it sweeps the yucky stuff into a little plastic container at the front of it...and we just replace the little plastic container every so often, and add more litter to the tray. we hardly ever have to actually clean the entire box. ps - i have found that the best litter is Tidy Cats Scoop - Multiple Cats. good luck!!3. Is a lysol/clorox wipe ok to clean an enclosed Cat litter box?I would not use something like that without checking with a vet first. As far as the smell of the wipes is concerned, using it would set off an asthma attack with me! Are you using liners in the litter box? If not, do. I use clumping litter and the type of litter bag that pulls out of the box and then ties off, so you do not have to lift the whole box to dump it. Also, wear a dust mask when you work with the litter. That helps me. One more note: if your cat does not like the smell of what you use to wipe down his litter, he will be using someplace else to make his "deposits". 8=(4. Best diaper pail for cat litter?I use the Diaper Genie II. It works great. I have only heard bad things about the Diaper Genie (original). Do not get that one, for sure. I have heard that the Diaper Champ works well, too5. I was at target today and I bought tons of food, but also bought cat litter and I used my food stamp card?No that is a mistake on targets part and they will have to end up eating the cost of that cat food because the state will not pay for it. No animal food cannot be bought with food stamps6. whats the best cat litter youve used?I like "Tidy Cats - Crystal Blends" scoopable litter. It has deodorizing crystals that seem to work very well7. Whats the best way to deal with the problem of cat litter?well 1) not much i can do about it, just i gues if you want it bad enough you will have to take care of it. 2)If you get like the CLUMPING! (the non-clumping does not work, it soaks up the Urine, but does not scoop out, so the urine seeps to the bottom and turns into Amonia.) the smell is not bad as long as you clean it daily-every other day depending on the cat. 3) Get a covered one (when they are real little you have to just make do and use a low-uncovered one or they can not get into it), and place a little mat in front of it and you will have no problems at all

Your rabbit has a litter box? Whatever happened to a bit of straw? Cheaper too1. cost effective cat litter?I use saw-dust from chain-sawing my own fire wood. Its very odor free and clumps a bit. I empty out the litter tray completely every 3 days but i only have one cat. I never weighed it but i only fill the tray about 1.5''2. cat genie vs Litter Robot- better automatic cat litter box?Litter robot is better than Cat genie for various reasons . read more reviews3. How to get rid of cat litter smells in a confined area?Ok My mom has fresh step in the litter box. She keeps the box in her room and it does not smell. You need to clean it every day.Also get rid of some litter and refill ever coule of days. It should not smell after that.4. dog who eats cat litter?I do not know of anything to give your cat. But the reason dogs usually eat poop is to try and get extra nutrients from it. You might want to get vitamins and/or go to the vet and get a medicine to keep your dog from eating it.5. How do I keep my cat litter box from smelling?Is there anything worse that having a guest come into your home and instantly say "Oh, you have a cat?" And the cat is nowhere to be seen? Oops. That's a good sign you may not be keeping the litter box as clean as possible. lol! Here are seven organizing tips to keep your cat's litter box neat, clean & fresh. 1) NEVER put the litter box in your own bathroom unless you absolutely have to! The litter gets everywhere and it stinks. If you have to keep it there, get a fully enclosed litter box with an opening for the cat to walk through. They will track litter outside the box though. So that leads to my next tip. 2) The best place place to keep the litter box is in a small closet with cleaning supplies. Just make sure to keep the door cracked open. I recommend keeping a long item such as shelf paper on one of the shelves so the door can not be accidentally closed. If the area is carpeted, line it with plastic or vinyl carpet liner. Or better yet, remove the carpet if you can. Be sure to get a litter box that has high walls and a dome or cover. 3) Clean Step Dome Litter Box works great and really does help cut down on the litter tracking. Every time you scoop the litter, use a handheld vacuum to clean the area around the box. Store the vacuum cleaner on a shelf or hang it on a wall in the closet. My favorite vacuums are the Black and Decker ones that use the same rechargeable batteries as all the other B&D tools. We keep an extra set of batteries and charger by each vacuum so we never run out of power. 4) Use a great litter. The best litter I've found in 26 years of living with cats is Tidy Cats with Crystal Blend Scoopable litter and now I use the new Tidy Cats "Small Spaces" litter mixed in. Even with 3 cats, it keeps odors under control. Make sure to fill your box half full with litter. One of the most common mistakes I see is too little litter in the box. Cat's like a very clean box, if there is not enough litter, they may go outside the box. And if they use the box without enough litter, it will stink horribly! 5) Remember to scoop often. Make that job easier by keeping a large scooper hanging near the box, and plastic grocery bag holder attached to the inside door. Keep it stuffed with lots of grocery bags. Every day, scoop the pet waste into a bag, double bag it, tie it up airtight and put it in the trash. 6) Keep a roll of paper towels near wherever the litter box is. If it's in a closet, use a paper towel holder that screws into the door and hang the paper towels on the inside of the door. Also keep a spray cleaner handy. 7) Empty the box completely once a month. Dump the litter into one of your handy grocery bags. Use your paper towels or a disposable pop-up cleaning product such as Clorox Wipes handy to clean the litter box and the surrounding floor. When you are done, throw the towels or wipes in with the litter, tie the bag up tight and dump it in the trash! There you have it. A nicely organized litter box area. So what is keeping you? Go and organize that litter box today so you will never again have a guest smell the cat before they even meet the dear furbaby! I hope this helped :) And good luck :)

And the cat is nowhere to be seen? Oops. That's a good sign you may not be keeping the litter box as clean as possible. We have 5 cats and people who visit our home for the first time are always SURPRISED when they see. Having had cats for over 25 years, I've tried just about everything to make the job of cat care easier. Here are seven of my best organizing tips for keeping the litter boxes clean and the house smelling fresh with as little time and effort as possible. 1. Avoid putting the litter box in your own bathroom unless you absolutely have to! The litter gets everywhere. If you have to keep it there, get a fully enclosed litter box with an opening for the cat to walk through. They will track litter outside the box though. So that leads to my next tip. 2. The best place I've found to keep the litter box is in a small closet with cleaning supplies, or in an infrequently used area of the house. If there is a door, make sure to keep the door cracked open. Placing a long item such as a roll of gift wrap or shelf paper on one of the shelves works well to keep the door from being accidentally closed. If the area is carpeted, line it with plastic or vinyl carpet liner. Or better yet, remove the carpet if possible. Try to get a litter box that has high walls and a dome or cover. 3. Keep a handheld vacuum handy to clean the area around the box frequently. Store the vacuum cleaner on a shelf or hang it on a wall in the closet. Consider keeping an extra set of batteries and charger handy as well. 4. Fill your box half full with litter. One of the most common mistakes people make is not using enough litter in the box. Cat's like a very clean box, if there is not enough litter, they may go outside the box. And if they use the box without enough litter, it will smell worse. 5. Scoop often. Make the job easier by keeping a large scooper hanging near the box. Consider keeping a diaper genie handy for disposing of the litter. Keeping a grocery bag holder nearby also is a big help. Every day, scoop the pet waste into a bag, double bag it, tie it up airtight and put it in a covered trash container or a diaper genie. 6. Keep a roll of paper towels and spray cleaner near the litter box. If it's in a closet, use a paper towel holder that screws into the door and hang the paper towels on the inside of the door. Or get a container of pop-up wipes. I use the wipes to clean the floor around the litter box as well as to spot clean the actual litter box between cleanings. 7. Empty the box completely once a month. Dump the litter into one of your handy grocery bags. Use your paper towels or a disposable pop-up cleaning product such as wipes handy to clean the litter box and the surrounding floor. When you are done, throw the towels or wipes in with the litter, tie the bag up tight and dump it in the trash! But if you have a self cleaning litter box, like Petree, you can put it anywhere you want. Hope this helps!

Testimonial"We bought this unit almost a year ago and we've run it every night that we use the living room fireplace, which smokes a little. I have an allergic reaction to the smoke, and this unit has allowed us to enjoy a fire on a cold Santa Fe night without my waking up with a migraine the next morning. This made me very happy! This spring we stopped burning fires so the unit just sat in the living room for the entire summer. Now that it's cooler, I tried to run it, and it would not start. Dead in the water. Today I called the 800 number and a customer service rep walked me through a reset, and now it's running fine. So for those of you who have had this same problem (and I see that there are a few of us), here's the drill: unplug the unit, remove the filter, wait 20 seconds, put the filter back, plug the unit back in and press the power button. We had to do this twice before it worked. The customer service rep said we might have to hold the power button down for five seconds, but that was not necessary for us. She also said sometimes you have to follow these steps four to five times before they will work. All in all, we are very happy with the unit AND with customer service." — Alayna DesujaCats litter box has hair on the poop?Perfectly normal. They sometimes swallow the hair that does not go into their hairballs. Humans do too. Do not worry about it.How to minimize the oder of the Cats litter box.?I used to use just regular cat litter and I tried everything for the smell to go away. I scooped all the time and my mom still complained about the smell. The smell is how people who dont live with me know I owned cats. Till I started buying Fresh Step the scoopable cat litter. I scoop everyday and now people are surprised I have cats since they cant smell them anymoreFlying bugs in my cats litter box?i has a similar problem. it ended up being the cat litter brand. if you cat try using Tidy Cats cat litter. get rid of the litter box you have now. also was the floor under and around the box and do the walls as well. if the problem still exists ur cat food be be infested with something and ur cat is digesting it in the box. (this was the problem about 6 years ago with my grandmas cat) you might want to talk to a vet in a week or so if you cant rid the bugs. best of luckIs it okay if my cats litter box is in the garage?As long as your cat has access to the box 24/7 the location does not really matter. Some cats are very particular about their box, it's location and even what kind of litter you provide. But they will let you know if there is an issue by simply not using the box. Stinky! If your cat knows where the box is and refuses to use it try adjusting one of the tangible elements first before seeking diagnostics

now if you mean just at the bottom and nothing else i would not your asking for a stinky disaster to happen they will think a large potty spot is OK they will Walk in it it just not clean. If you mean can you put a litter box on the bottom of your cage sure a small one is OK it really matters how large your cage is for The box, they are corner poopers LOL so litter on all the bottom i do not think you will need i have one small litter pan at the bottom because i have a huge cage, then i have a sleeper igglue, and some fleece baby blanket on the bottom but i have a 8 story cage so more than one litter box, here my trick to training get a shoe box cut the Front off so they can swag their butts back words and put in the corner what is great is you can throw it away , tie to the cage so they can not dump it and all shoe stores welcome you to come get boxes they do not need give it a try and Good luck.1. Cat Peed on carpet and got cat litter mixed in now its like Paste!!?OK, now that the cat pee has become cakey,yucky,goo you will need to try cleaning that area several times to work the pee/clay mixture out of the carpet. I would just go with several cleanings with just plain hot water and then a final cleaning with carpet shampoo. Sorry, but it's an elbow grease situation now. :-(2. How can I get cat litter box smell out of my room?I suggest taking the litter box out of your room, vaccum up a little, spray some frebreeze, wash the box, replace the litter, See if that helps, :D3. Have you ever played this game with your cat?My cat loves to play peek-a-boo with me (she sits on the bar in the kitchen and we play it around the small wall up there), and there are the obvious games like, finger wiggle, shred up the fast food napkins as fast as you can, tummy tickles, and pass the ball, and attack the hand under the blankie, but she has taken to opening the cabinets, climbing in and hiding in there until I open it up and touch something fuzzy inside. It scares the hell out of me in the mornings because I think I touch a rat. They do the wink thing too. If you treat your cats like humans, they will act like them. Also my boy cat likes to say, "hello" it is clear as day and he picked it up on his own. It cracks people up when they come to visit and the cats follows them around saying, "hello" untill they say it back and when our guest (like the internet guy a few weeks ago) catch on and say it back, he just walks away as if he was like, "...finally". Also it confuses people that are on the phone with me like customer service people. But the worst game they play is cat litter wars, when the second cat is waiting for the litter box to be free, they cat in the box likes to fling cat litter out at the other one. They both do it, and it is the reason why they are going to be toilet trained.4. Cat litter becomes powder all the time?!?!?there are lots of litters on the market you can get litter made out of rice but you may have the same problem with that one other wise there is litter crystals, rolled news paper or the plain clumping stuff all of these are sold in supermarkets or pet shops5. What should I do with stinky cat litter (before it goes out to the dumpster)?it is so unhappy! It became superb of you to take those kittens in, i am sorry it befell like this. There must be lots of issues that led to this to take place, and that i doubt you will ever be conscious of. regrettably, kittens are at risk of one in each and every of those infections, and that is rather genuine of kittens that did no longer have a healthful and vaccinated mom. in the event that they did have an infection, despite the fact that it became viral as a replace of bacterial, drugs possibly would not have helped, and youthful kittens do not have completely superior immune structures to combat those issues off. i am extraordinarily sorry that i wo not manage to fully answer your question and that this befell. Your intentions have been good and those kittens had a loving homestead for a minimum of a quick time.

just cover your whole floor with cat litter - that way the cat can never miss, or track it anywhere. try that scooper stuff - you can just pick up the lumps as you step on them. Cheers!1. One more cat litter question....?just goes in the trash. simple as that2. how to get rid of cat litter box smell from previous renter?Try buying a spray bottle of Odorban. They sell it at walmart. Spray the whole room with3. Clay vs corn based cat litter, what do you like better?Neither. I use wood stove pellets - absolute best thing to use for cat litter and cheapest as well. I just picked up forty pound bags at Lowe's today for $3.58 each!4. Do you use World's Best Cat Litter?i use the worlds worst litter its not bad5. What is the best odor absorbing, cat litter?That pine stuff is awful, one pee and it's ruined. I use [do not laugh] The World's Best Kitty Litter. That's the name, it is.......... You still have to scoop it out every single day. It lasts longer in the pan than most. It's made out of corn. At the rate we find uses for corn, will never have a chance to eat it.6. cat litter box issues?move the litter box to the shower and after he uses it for solid business slowly move it out of the shower. Thank goodness he is doing it in a place that is easy to clean, if you close the door he may choose a place that is not so easy7. Best non-clumping dust free cat litter?Personally I like Champion sold by K-Mart is is low dust, scooping and has a deodorant in it8. Mix clumping clay and crystal cat litter?precious Cat extremely top rate Clumping is a confusing clumping cat clutter that gets relatively reliable comments. i in my opinion use the Breeze Cat clutter gadget which does no longer clump because of the fact it makes use of pellets which enable the urine pass by into an absorbent pad, so the urine scent is eradicated9. Electric cat litter box question?They have been known to kill kittens, because a kitten will stay in the litter box for awhile playing with the litter and poop (fun uh?) and once the timer goes off the kitten is still in the box so the get caught in the contraption and die! I empty two litter boxes daily, it is not that bad, maybe takes me 2 minutes at the most, and I have 3 LIVING cats10. What brand of cat litter actually clumps?Fresh Step- the clumping variety, obviously. Target's brand of litter also makes for very hard clumps.11. Cleaning the cat litter while pregnant...?Gloves, mask, and ventilation are key. Open the window(s) and do not return to the area for at least 20 mins. We are not supposed to change it, but sometimes you just have to. And make sure to wash your hands well afterwards, even though you wore gloves. The problem is with inhalation, so make sure the mask fits well over your mouth and nose12. What is the best flushable cat litter?NONE - its not wise to be flushing any kind/amount of cat litter down your toilet unless you want a big plumbing bill in the near future. Just scoop the pan and toss it in the trash.13. What is the most disgusting thing your child has put in their mouth?Cat litter. Apparently my husband does not pay close enough attention to them, because he found the 1 and 2 year olds playing in the cat litter in the laundry room. It was all in their mouths. It was not fresh cat litter either, it was out of the box, piss and all14. What is your favorite alternative cat litter?We use Swheat Scoop and it is great! It smells a little like bread dough when kitty pees. It also clumps really well and is flushable. I have used Cedar Lite in the past and I LOVED it, but it was too hard to find.15. Supplies and Facts about rabbits and hedgehogs?Bunnies are extremely fun and bubbly animals to keep so make sure you choose a smaller size if you are planning on playing with it around the house. Not just because they are cute but because they do not take so much space and food everyday. Plus, they require an owner who will stick around for as long as 10 years because many often leave them at the animal shelter after 1-3 years..... The smallest breed I would think and suggest are the Netherland Dwarfs. They grow to be 1.5kg with proper diets so they are like a compact-sized bunny. They also consume only about a handful of foods a day or even a few table spoons. My own is still young and she's only the size of half my hand lol The cage will be the most expensive thing you will need so I do not suggest buying one straight from the pet shop. Spend some time online and search for second hand cages of past owners because they will sometimes include water bottles and feeders or even food for a very cheap price. I once saw a whole cage set with feeders for $32. Also, NEVER buy food and litter from pet stores. I know this sounds stupid and weird but of course they would want you to buy there and they know that you will so they make their prices extremely high. Example (In USD), I saw a bag of rabbit food at my local pet store, 5kg for $17. Cool. But when I went to my typical super market, they sold 10kg for $9.60. I know. And about the litter, they will cost quite a bit at the pet stores. My previous rabbit litter (2.5kg bag) cost $18 but when I saw cat litter at my super market that was made from the same material, 10kg only cost $8. My point of this paragraph, do not think and rely on pet stores for stocking you up with cheap and premium stuff. You can find the same products elsewhere for a huge bargain. Finally, prepare yourselves for desexing the poor thing. This is not needed but it's for the bunnies health as many will develop cancer and health problems. The surgery might be expensive but check with an animal shelter or something and ask them for Vet clinics that offers cheap neutering. Trust me, you will be glad that you did (Save $$$$$) As a quick checklist for the bunnies: -Good sized cage -Litter tray -Litter (Organic and non-fragrance and no wood such as pine and cedar) -Pellets -Vegetables (Fruits are only treats) -Hay (Meadow would be fine) -Feeders (Bottles and dishes etc) -Bedding (Oh right, after you litter train the smarticle, bedding will no longer be needed and can be replaced with a soft towel) -Toys of course! ^_^ It will seem like a lot but if you are able to find a bargain then it will take off a lot from your worries. And make sure you research some of these things in your own time. It will be extremely helpful.

Jaroslav Flegr (born 12 March 1958) is a Czech parasitologist, evolutionary biologist, and author of the book Frozen Evolution. He is professor of biology at Charles University in Prague, and is a member of the editorial board of the journal Neuroendocrinology Letters.His work on how toxoplasmosisan infection caused by the protozoan parasite T. gondiiinfluences personality, sex ratios, and rates of traffic accidents, has received coverage in The Atlantic, Salon, and The Guardian. Flegr maintains that toxoplasmosis might increase the rate of traffic accidents by as much as one million collisions per year. He also believes that T. gondii contributes to suicides and mental disorders such as schizophrenia.• Other Related Knowledge of cat litter boxBibliography of cat litter boxJaroslav Flegr (2008).

Folia Parasitologica 46 (May): 22-28.------Frozen Evolution of cat litter boxFrozen Evolution is a popular science book which aims to explain current developments in evolutionary biology to a wide audience. It also contains information boxes which clarify important topics in science like peer review, scientific journals, citation metrics, philosophy of science, paradigm shifts, and Occam's razor. Flegr's previous research in toxoplasmosis is also mentioned.The book also discusses Flegr's model of frozen plasticity, a hypothesis that describes a possible mechanism for the origin of adaptive traits. This hypothesis proposes that natural selection can only explain adaptation in limited conditions, for example when populations are genetically homogeneous. He describes frozen plasticity as being more general, and maintains that it better explains the origin of adaptive traits in genetically heterogeneous populations of sexual reproducing organisms. His hypothesis of frozen plasticity is an extension of Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould's theory of punctuated equilibria, which describes the history of most fossil species as being relatively stable for millions of years, later punctuated by swift periods of evolutionary change during speciation.
