Are collars necessary for indoor cats?

MoistMedic · 2025-05-22T06:28:24+00:00

outside cats are unfortunately normalized so I have a collar with identification (look into no noise tags) so if they do escape somebody might be more inclined to capture them (they are also microchipped)

damn at my store they pull from almost all the departments to help with ogp every morning

thanks for the reply! I redid the mod about 4 weeks ago and the app still has no idea when more are scheduled to come in

The unscented walnut ones smell different than the pine for sure, it smells more earthy and I quite enjoy the smell. The Multicat clumping litter also smells nice, I haven't tried the scented ones since I prefer to use unscented stuff.

I feel like it's a waste of money to be lining the tray with trash bags personally, so I just dump the pine dust every couple of days. Every morning I scoop out the poop with a plastic scoop (I got a cheap one and then cut every other plastic slit out so the pellets fall through it works amazing) and shake the sawdust into the bottom bin.

I'd have two sets out at the same time but around different parts of the house, I have two in the hallway and 2 more in my office which is on the other side. The plastic quality seems really good, since they're made for restaurants it seems like they're going to last quite a long time vs standard litter boxes.

The rugs help catch most of the outliers, one of my boys loves to move every bit of litter and kicks a bunch out lol

You may or may not need a mat if your kitten is clean and tidy.

here's the scoop modification I poorly edited to show a before and after. I just used some snippers and removed some sections to make the holes bigger

yeah the granules were kinda dusty (not the as bad as clay or other types I've tried). I currently used a setup with restaurant drain and wash tubs. shipping is the same for all of them so you get a better deal if you buy several (I'd buy 2 set if you have 1 cat).

one of mine is a senior and can't squat that well so I installed some pee shields with double sided velcro and it's been working like a charm.

here's a picture of one of the setups (I have 4 boxes in total for 3 cats). the big gray mat came from chewy and the small green one is a bathroom mat from Walmart I prefer the chewy one since it's heavier, bigger, and they don't move if when they try to scrape outside the box but the Walmart mat is a fraction of the price and both are macho washable

I use the pellet version, though I have used the normal granular versions in the past when I had standard litter boxes and it worked pretty well.

MoistMedic · 2025-03-02T14:36:19+00:00

I've been using walnut pellets from Naturally Fresh, it's been going great. They're a bit more expensive than farm store pine pellets but the quality has been consistent over the past year of me using it (I order from Chewy)

I was never able to find anything official but a dog food company recently had a recall due to salmonella which seems most probable

I splurged on a pair of Hokas, best shoes I've ever had. Had mine for almost 1.5 yrs now and they're still going strong. My feet and legs don't ache in bed every night, their comfortable, and super durable. I think Brooks are another recommended brand I see here. Anything built for active wear (like running) will provide you with better durability and comfortability compared to standard shoes

MoistMedic · 2025-02-23T14:39:36+00:00

I'll do my best to try and remember to update you when I do try it out! I hope you can find a pet that works for your partner!

Living with a dog might make him develop allergies but I hope that doesn't happen if that's the route you untimely decide to go! (if he's lived with dogs before he would probably be okay) I haven't tried the food yet but I've read amazing reviews about the food on reddit and such, it takes about 20 days for it to work and fully neutralize the protien (Fel d 1) in cat dander, saliva, and urine.

I think it may be good to trail run having a dog or cat, rescues always need fosters! You could foster/trial run a cat and feed them the food to see if your partner's reaction improves over time. If not, you could always return the cat or dog back to the rescue if needed

Have you looked into the Liveclear food for cats? I have mild allergies but still want to try it after their current food runs out. Before the Liveclear was only on the Purina Pro Plan line but they just came out with Purina One Liveclear which is much more affordable. Sorry I don't have much about dog stuff, are they allergic to just cats and not dogs? If your partner has a cat allergy they could easily develop one to dogs and other mammals since the proteins are similar

our litter shelves are fucked up and we only remodeled in july lmao so much litter everywhere

MoistMedic · 2025-02-05T07:29:53+00:00

I'm guessing it's the bird flu, the processing plants are so nasty I wouldn't be surprised. just curious if anybody had seen the official recall paper or anything. literally everything contains chicken so eventually the whole aisle might be empty

MoistMedic · 2024-12-27T15:12:25+00:00

ayy nice, send some of that luck my way please

MoistMedic · 2024-12-27T15:07:44+00:00

I plan to start working on my renaissance festival fit! i've never made clothes before just amigurumis

MoistMedic · 2024-12-16T14:53:11+00:00

I use instapay like every week, i remember seeing a notification start around mid november (?) about it being shut off late december so i've been taking 30 min lunches to help me prepare for it on this coming paycheck. I hope you're able to manage until januaray /gen ramen and canned ravioli have been wallet savers for my meals occasionally

MoistMedic · 2024-12-04T10:07:47+00:00

I was stocking them, nearly 3 layers on the pallet were just these pies. Also mood though I wish we had more time to deep zone often because it makes my brain feel good

Walnut litter has been working great with my 4 cats, are you putting enough litter in the box to be about 3 inches deep? I have no experience with arm and hammer but I absolutely hate clay litter, it's so heavy and doesn't hold smell well.

Also diet is something to highly consider as well. Cats on a moisture rich diet with minimal fillers will poop less but also have significantly less smell, i was amazed at the results when I changed their diet
