    Litter recommendations (& maybe debunk myths)?

    Hello! I’ve heard so many things about sphynx webbed toes and litter… I’ve tried the pellets, I’ve tried walnut and we’ve successfully used Worlds Best corn litter for years but post pandemic they just have changed the formula and now it’s DUSTY. The dust now gets into the crevices of the...

    Poop issues - help!

    I've definitely posted about this before but here I am once again with the same problem. My bambino Luna will only poop outside of the litter box. This has been ongoing for almost 2 years - we have had to put down plastic on the floor that we can easily clean because she won't poop in the box...

    Newb Litter Questions...

    Okay, so I'm about to ask some newbie kitty litter questions that may be borderline dumb. (It's okay, I'm a firm believer that there ARE such thing as dumb questions. :p) When it comes to cat litter, what is the standard protocol for usage and maintenance? Do you just scoop and scoop until the...

    Litter tray conundrum

    We’re looking into getting another litter tray for our 2 boys but we live in a really small apartment so finding another suitable place has been an issue.

    Update on Nuru's IBD

    In the last 2 weeks, I have gradually switched Nuru's food from Blue Basics to Royal Canin Sensitive Digestion. His stools have been much firmer and I have noticed that he is more energetic. I am happy with his progress so far but he remains struggling with both constipation and diarrhea. In...

    Terrible Surprise

    I thought Tut was constipated because I hadn't seen him use the litter box in 2 days but what happened was he started USING THE BASEMENT AS HIS LITTER BOX! :rage: I usually let him down there (only if i am home) thinking he is just running around and climbing but I won't be doing that anymore...

    Question--metal litter box

    so Astrid plastic box smells DISGUSTING. So that's being tossed lol but I was thinking a metal one would work better to keep clean and the metal wouldn't absorb the smell. Do any of you guys have one or know where to get one?? Or where to get big baking pans that have sides??

    I think I posted asking about litter suggestions ages ago, but I am looking to switch. It's suprisingly very difficult to find helpful articles about this, considering everyone's situation is different, so I'm hoping my fellow Sphynx mama's can help! Right now I use World's Best Cat Litter. I...
