Sad and lonely for a kitty...

It is not a clumping kitty litter, but it works great for odor control. All you do is dump the box once a week and refill it.  The odor control is great. It absorbs the urine and smell.

Aww Nina I have tears in my eyes reading your latest about Xena not leaving your side when you were feeling sick and cuddling on your bed. She has so bonded with you and see knows when you need TLC and even Sam seems to be taking to her. Sounds like the first days of a years of wonderful company and happiness.

About the food.. remember to not just fill the bowl if it is empty or you will get a fat cat very quick! I know she is a kitten and needs her food but try and keep a lid on how much she is fed. What I did and do with mine is give her a set amount and she eats it.. that's it... and no amount of crying or badgering will get her more (she has since stopped and knows when dinner time is but usually won't bug me unless she feels I've short changed her ).

That's my advice on that topic.

I'm so glad it's working out so well for you with Xena... very happy I'm sending her a cuddle across the miles

HI Goofynina.  I have been feeling very unwell and just reading all these posts about Xena tonight has made me feel so much better.  I am glad she is giving you so much happiness.  I have a new puppy because I am allergic to cats and she is really cute.  I thought she was a boy until I took her to have her first shots and then I found out she was a girl.  We had named her Harry because our surname is Potter so we have just changed the spelling to an "i" instead of a "y" and she is still Harri.....and she is a handful but I love her to death.  I already have an irsih wolfhound cross that is as big as a horse and Harri is a cross toy so they look pretty funny together.  I think Sam is terrifc for letting you have your kitten.  I really didn't give Paul the choice with the new puppy.  His son was living with us and the whole world was revolving around them being together that I just went out one day and came home with Harri.  If he can have his son live with us without asking me before he asked him to live with us then I reckon it was OK for me to get the puppy.

Anyhow, you enjoy your kitty and love it as much as you want........Sam will think it is very cute and he'll love that you are so happy. xxxxxxxx

As for her eating?  I cant keep her bowl full, seems like everytime i turn around it's almost empty, and believe me, it is coming out just as fast as its going in,  thank goodness for scoopable litter.

If you are having that much trouble keeping her bowl full make sure the dogs aren't getting into it.  I know my dogs wont pass up the chance to get at the cat food so we had to put it up on a table to keep them out.

Nope, its her, all her, lol, i have not yet introduced my dog to my kitty, she is barely starting to venture across the hall and into my room, i tried to take her to the living room but she got spooked and jumped out of my arms and back to her room (office)  so when she is more comfortable, i will let them sniff each other through the screen, Jane is amazing and i do not believe she would hurt Xena, i am more afraid of Xena hurting Jane, lol, that darn cat   and i love her

Oh, Goofy, I am so happy that all is well with you and Xena!! There is something special about animals
relating to us, and knowing when we don't feel good. Sam will be under her spell in a week, I guarantee
it!!!

It is so funny to watch someone with their first cat.  It is overwhelming the love that little furry thing can bring into your life.  My ats are all nuts, but I love them anyway!
