litter

So I haven't been on here in forever, but lately I've seen various commercials for the cat genie self cleaning litter box. based on research of it and reading tons of reviews, I've already decided it's probably not for me and bane. most of the time, banes poop is very soft. **is this common...

I flew in yesterday to have a visit with baby Dunkin (the decided upon name) and went to see him earlier today. He was so tiny! From his photos I was expecting him to be bigger but he was still a teeny tiny little baby!! It's been a long time since I've seen such a little one :love: I took lots...

I recently made a post about the fact that I am expecting a new baby boy! I wanted to wait to show a photo until I knew the breeder was comfortable with me posting, so here he is! His Gotcha day is May 9th and I am visiting him this weekend :shame: Meet baby "Kristoff" of the Frozen litter! His...

This is more of a general cat question, but was curious... Where is a good place to put a litter box in a small home? Our Sphynx, when they go, reak!! We have a very nice automated litter box to help control it, but I struggle with a place to put the box. I don't want it in the main room, and...

Hello! My sphynx baby is almost 4 months old, and I've had him for officially a month today! My breeder used Tidy Cats and said he never had an issue so I got the same one, and she was right, he took to it right away and hasn't had an accident yet! Unfortunately, I find that that the tiny...

I moved into my own (studio) flat from my parent's detached house and my sphynx moved with me. My folks' house had a lot bigger toilet where I kept my cat's litter and the air conditioning was better too so the smell of the litter didn't bother at all, you couldn't really smell anything. Now...

Im ready to get my princess going potty in "the pot" LOL(y). I would like to know which ones have you used? Did they work for you? I know it will be challenging but I'm ready!! Any and all advice is welcomed !!!! :cat:

It has been awhile since I've been able to be very active on the lair, I've missed every so much!! That said I'm hoping some of fellow Canadians can give me a hand; I am looking to switch my litter and I am wanting to go with Dr Foster's. I know I've seen threads pop up ever now and then and...

So after having tried everything, moving the litter boxes, 8 different varieties if litter, a trip to the vets to rule out infection, I'm am still stuck as to why my girl sphynx (bindi) is still weeing everywhere. She has been spayed and although I thought that stopped the problem temporarily we...

Has anyone used crystal litter? Pros/Cons?

I think I mentioned this in my previous posts, but I'm going to bring it up again and see if you guys have any experience, insight, or advice for me on this. Ophelia has a tendency to step in her poop - a lot. Not all the time, but about once a week (at least) she poops and steps in it in the...

I've had many friends recommend the breeze litter system to me since it is a lot less smelly, and there is no litter that will be tracked around the house. My kitten was using scoop away before I bought her, so I bought that for her to use and placed it next to the breeze. I'm trying to...

Hello everyone, I’m a fairly new sphynx owner, but not a new cat owner. In about the last week my 10mo sphynx Cynder has developed a rash on the top of her head and back of her neck. It’s tiny bumps that are her skin colour and sometimes pink. There are some on her head that are a bit scabby...

Has anyone had any experience dealing with these kinds of litter boxes? Has your sphynx had any problems using it (side not-or crystal type cat litter in general )?

Recently I came across SmartCat All Natural Clumping Litter. It's made by a company called Pioneer Pet which looks like a small player in pet supplies. One thing I've figured out after all these years is the products you see in the big pet retail stores are all mass made by some very big...

I bought new dust free cat litter and my kitten won't stop eating it!!!!!

Hey Everyone :) I was considering changing from Clay Litter to something new. The dust from Clay has become too much for my Allergies and It isn't very absorbent and when I have a Litter of Kittens running around my house as well- That's a lot of dust. As of lately Althea has been Abnormally...

Have you ever needed to put a pet on prozac? Nym is currently taking it, and it seems to really be helping with her litterbox problems. I resisted prozac for the longest time because she isn't depressed, and I didn't like the effects it had on me when I had to take an SSRI (one year; first...

I'm a Sphynx newbie! We took in a 2 year old male yesterday from a friend of a friend who couldn't care for him. I've got an appointment with the vet scheduled, but it's still a few days away. Can anyone answer a few questions? He squints his eyes. Both of them. Almost constantly. I used some...

Ew... Since tilda got better she and oskar made it their hobby to dig endlessly in the litter box. No problem with oskars poo, but since tilda got so much medicine it takes a while til her poopoo gets back to normal. Its not diarreah but it gets their feet dirty when its still fresh and they...

I'm wondering what kind of litter other sphinx moms use. I've been having a litter issue lately lol. I've always used fresh step with odor eliminating carbon, no smell! I used to use the clumping kind, I liked it because you remove all of the urine from the box. However it was so dusty and the...

Hey guys! I'm having some issues with my kitten and I hope you guys can give some advice? We purchased a Sphynx kitten in August from a very good breeder and he seemed to have his kittens trained to use the litter box but we did notice that some of them would pee in the sink. Since we brought...

So all things cat litter have been on my mind lately and I thought it could be a good idea to not only ask everyone here a few questions but possibly keep this thread as a kind of review of litters we've used this past year (possible sticky) so we can all compare, perhaps it could be a yearly...

Should I change litters? Does my Sphynx cat like his/her litter? Is she allergic to it? He pees or poops outside of the box, is this because she does not like the litter? This is a question we have heard too many times here on the Lair so I thought I would put some information out there for...
