As always, great advice from Blarg.

I agree.

1) I've read a bit about clumping litter, and some vets are totally against the idea.

[/ QUOTE ]

I've heard this also and also use the clumping litter (Arm & Hammer). Our vet wants us to use the organic corn-based litter you can flush down the toilet, and we don't do it.

2) I've never bathed my cats.

[/ QUOTE ]

My large formerly-stray beast nearly killed me once when I bathed her, so I don't bathe mine either. I use these wipes that they sell at pet stores if they get stinky (which they do, I think they have anal glands or something that can make them smelly). So I recommend the wipes as a bathing alternative. If they stay indoors they won't get too dirty anyway (although keep the chimney flue closed, my cat once jumped up there and got all sooty).

3) I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this, but wet food is the way to go.

[/ QUOTE ]

My cats won't eat wet food, which is odd I think.

4) Don't get the cheap cat foods.

[/ QUOTE ]

I use Wellness food, which our vet recommended.
