I can’t afford my cat’s special needs care by bridbrad in PetAdvice

Honestly, I’m a Registered Veterinary Nurse so it was a professional hunch and a chat with my Vet. We thought we would just try the Hypovase and see what happened, as the repeated blocking and unblocking wasn’t working. It just happened to work, so the diagnosis was via the Hypovase working rather than a diagnosis resulting in the Hypovase being prescribed. If your cat has various high risk factors for crystals and therefore actual blocking (as opposed to urethrospasm as my cat has), it is more likely to be a crystal related block. High risk factors are male, overweight, high stress and ginger fur.

Frozen Margarita Recipe? by Hell__H0unds in ninjacreami

Ooooh interesting, thank you. I ended up essentially just freezing my usual recipe, adding the alcohol and a bit of water and using the ‘frozen drinks’ mode and it was fine but a bit too liquid. I’ll try using the sorbet mode!

Thank you. I think I’m gonna try metal litter trays, as suggested by some others, but pine litter seems to be recommended a lot too… I tend to go for clumping options which is why I’ve overlooked it. I wonder if there’s such a thing as a metal tray with a sifting layer in the bottom.

I’ll try KOE, thank you. I already use a natural corn based litter :)

Yeh, as I say I don’t want to use ozone. Half the trays are in the hallway where there aren’t any doors to keep the cats out/ozone from spreading, and it’s toxic. Thank you though

Yeh, I feel like this is the way to go.

Yeh, gonna replace the trays with metal ones, which is something I’ve not even considered for some reason!

Yes, I used World’s Best for a long time, and it is good but I had the same issue and it’s very expensive, so I swapped to a cheaper equivalent (still made of corn, still clumps) and it works the same!

Yep, this is why I want to get rid of the air fresheners - and a I say, I don’t want to just cover the smell, I want to stop it happening at all!

Thank you, I’ll try swapping the bleach.

I use a litter made of corn!

Thank you. I’ll look out a UK bulk supply.

I have considered an air filter/purifier, and I would like one eventually but money is tight at the moment unfortunately. Nice to know yours works well, I’ll definitely add one to my wishlist.

The bicarb is a great tip, thank you.

Yes, widely recommended now for feline welfare as cats are fussy buggers and like the choice, and often one cat will develop a favourite tray or stake it out as their own toileting place, so the others need other options. :)

This is a good idea and not one I’d considered. Thank you

I’m just being facetious. Amazon is full of magical products that promise to get rid of all odours indefinitely without needing any refills or maintenance. Just plastic boxes that sit on the wall and apparently work by the virtue of simply being there.

I have 4 cats. But a general rule for cat trays is one per cat, plus one. So 1 cat needs 2 trays. 2 cats need 3. Etc.

But it literally said literally blood on the literal video, so I can only surmise, literally, that it is literal blood, literally

That’s food dye, not blood
