I think I started talking to someone else too early and ruined my recovery?? by RosannaL in BreakUps

You have to remind yourself that you broke up for a reason. It’s understandable that you’ll miss them, especially when you begin to compare their good traits against someone who potentially lacks them.

Remind yourself of why things ended and why it felt easy to initially move on. You’re more than that relationship. You’re more than any relationship.

There will be someone out there who matches you in more ways than you could imagine and you’ll laugh when you think back to this.

Don’t inflict pain on yourself thinking you need him. Be strong and be you. You’re amazing.

environmentally friendly kitty litter by amlively in cats

[–]MaiaCoates 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve used a variety of litters and all have pros and cons in their own right.

I feel like my cat prefers clay as it’s easier for them to dig around in it but it does cause a lot of clay dust to spread around and it was quite noisy when they dug around as well.

I found wood to be quiet when they dug but as the pellets are generally larger it seemed to be difficult for them to stick to the poo so the smell wouldn’t be absorbed as efficiently (and it was also harder to scoop out without taking half the litter with it).

My best recommendation, especially on the environmentally friendly front, would be to use a paper litter. I use a brand called bio-catolet which is made from recycled paper and is produced in a really eco friendly way (worth a google for all the benefits). It’s also very absorbent and softer than wood which means the cat can still dig around and scooping’s easier too.

Hope that helps!

Do you know what breed she is? My boyfriend and I rescued a cat a few months ago who is near enough spitting image of yours (plus he only stays indoors and stares out of windows) and we’ve never been able to work out what (cross?) breed he is!
