He turns his nose up at any other food I try to give him. I have tried mixing the other food in a little at a time and then increasing as recommended. Charlie will eat around the other food and then push it out of the bowl and tries to hide it under his mat. He is definitely a Science Diet Guy!! — —...

Other litter just weren't cutting it. And my dad has tried everything. This stuff really works. It helps with odor control and is easy to clean. Tidy cat as a brand in general is really great as far as kitty litter is concerned. Though the price is steep. At walmart we pay almost $9.00 for a pound container. But we still buy it so that should tell you how good it is. —...

It seems they would have taken a hint from the Diaper Genie where the bag twists under and over the waste, creating little stinky sausages, while simultaneously containing odor...less plastic used, less mess, and less odor... —  THe Litter Locker seemed like a good idea at first, but with three cats, I had to change out the stinkball every other day! Believe that! —...

I'm all about natural foods and all, but I'm a bit less worried about using sub-par (health-wise) cat litter. I feel that if you clean the littler box well and often, your cats won't be breathing in litter fragrance all day long - they're in and out in 30 seconds to a minute. My cats never had a problem with Fresh Step litter - it clumps very well, so as long as you take care of that at least once a day, it'll be clean and smelling very nice. —  I have two cats, so this multiple cat formula is perfect. I'm really not sure what the difference is between this and normal fresh step, but I buy it anyway... who knows, maybe there is a neutralizer in the formula so cats won't mind the scent of other cats. Either way, I've had no problems, besides trying to haul a 40 lb. box of it up my stairs. —...

First, it's available at Stop & Shop, so I don't have to go to a remote shop to find a cat food with natural ingredients. Second, it's not too expensive. A big bag is 12.99 at my Stop & Shop; while it's a little pricer than Iams or Friskies, it's less expensive than most of the organic foods you see in specialty stores and your cats will be healthier. —  Overall, a great product. The kitties love it, and I feel better knowing they're not eating who knows what in the main pet food brands. —...

It's like getting your pet high, then laughing at them when they acted silly. Treats are good. I don't think you should give to kittens. Ask your vet first are do some research on catnip before you give the treat with catnip in...

I just washed my big old cat with Mycodex with carbaryl. To make matters worse, my kid helped me. He's a teen kid, but he will always be my kid. — The vet sold me this Mydocex with carbaryl when we had a flea problem a few years back. We don't have those problems much, or we would not still have this bottle of flea and tick shampoo for cats and dogs. — Today I got a flea on my leg. I am not an anal housekeeper, but show me a flea and I get my butt in gear. My boys really hate when that happens. We're usually very laid back unless I see a bug. Then I call out the troops - all two of my boys. — I sprayed and sprayed and extra sprayed to be sure and then deemed that Sugar would be having a bath. This is a major production, since Sugar is a 20 pound cat with even bigger opinions. — I must say Sugar is a good sport. When we first got him from the pound, I gave him a bath. He was so scared. He put his mouth around my hand but did not bite me -...
