Da Bird: Love this toy and your cats will to. Go to amazon to see pictures of cat by owners who bought this item. Local store PetPeople has this item in stock and Discount Pet Supply has the replacement feather end. Or just go to the website directly and order. They are fast with deliveries. http://www.go-cat.com/ my cats like the Sparkler Accessory attachment as well if you want to stay away from using feather toys.
Feline Pine is just a great kitty litter. I've switched all of my fosters to this. You have to get a different cat pan to use it or make your own. It does not clump but it is less dusty than clumping and is light. I'm switching to more natural because the clay is dusty and heavy to carry. Its cheaper than clumping and most stores carry it. I just grab it when its on sale. Last longer too.
Worlds Best Cat Litter great for a couple of cats in the house hold and great if someone can not handle the weight of clay. Not all cats like this litter but most do.
Tidy cats Pure Nature is a new cat litter that is about the same price as Worlds Best but has a nice cedar smell to it. Not all cats go for it, but it sure smells nice. This litter is very light. great for people who can not carry alot of weight. It seems to last longer than clumping, less litter changes. Get a scooper with bigger holds to clean litter out with. Makes it easier to shake out the clean litter. Not the best for multi cat house.
Best Clumping Liter there is. The Multicat one is good and the cheapest place to get it is at Sams club. The best is the Unscented version, but Sam's Club does not carry it but most other stores do. The only two complains is that its heavy and that if you dont have a litter pan with a lid, its can be dusty. Recommend a litter scooper that has smaller holds. The litter falls apart if you wait to long or have multi cats and end up with bits of soiled litter behind. This is typical of most clumping litter. You can get the extreme for mulit cats house, but some cats are turn off by the strong scent.
Hair Combs - different hair types take different brushes. Here are some that I have used and like.
This brush is a great brush because it collects the hair and then just click the release button. I've had it work well on long and short haired cats, but it has not work on some. Different texture of hair takes for different brushes. Also, I will brush in on a smooth texture, like bed spread or couch to pick up the hair there as well.
Curved shedding combes
I love these as well, they are curved at the end so it gets the under coat out. It helps in spring when pets are shedding. This one is available at Walmart. Most pet stores care other brands. The one I like most has been hard to find. Its by Oster.
Cleaners
Whip it: This is a great cleaner for everything, even urine, but it is a little pricey. Sometimes it is available at Sams Club at a trunk show.
Urine off: Great product. Really works well and available at most pet stores. Meyiers carries it the 320z for $10, the cheapest I've seen it.
OdoBan Pet: This is a great product to clean floors with. It was available at Home Depot but they stop stocking it. They sell the regular odo ban there but pet was safer to use. Can order online. Will let you know if I see it anywhere else.
La's Totally Awesome Oxygen Base Cleaner: This is available at the Dollar Tree and Deals store for a $1. It's great for clothing and tile flooring. Just don't go over board and clean area with a lot of water because I don't know how toxic it is to animals. It works and its cheap.
Comfort Zone by Feliway Diffuser. After removing all the spraying and using urine off buy the diffuser and plug in area to prevent marking and scratching. It takes a few weeks to start really stopping the problem. There also is a spray to use when your traveling to vet or moving to put inside the carrier to help calm your cat. They recommend the Plug in be used up to 3 months to get cat used to not spraying. Pet Discount Supply Store on Lane ave in Columbus has the best price on it. $41 ,plus it comes with a $3 off coupon also. Most other stores has it for $50.
