I forgot Patches!

A few kitties have gone home lately. Enya, Butterscotch, Mayhem, Oregano, Maggie, and Robin. Maggie was adopted by our own volunteer Allison.

Putting up Jack's picture must have done the trick. He was adopted today by the person who raised him. Yeah for Jack!

Holly has been adopted! She really showed off for her new family.

This is Cairo. He is one of the most exotic looking kittens I have seen. At first glance he is black, but at a closer look you can see stripes. He is a sweet and playful kitty too. He is up for adoption and ready to go home.

Clay versus Scoopable

If you are like me, at one point or another you have found yourself standing in the the litter aisle contemplating what litter to buy. Well, you are in luck! We will be featuring several articles designed specifically to help ease your litter woes so that you can make the most informed decision. In fact, we are in the process of setting up a litter testing project at Kitten Krazy. With all our little kitties, we have the perfect testing grounds. We will be testing different brands of scoobale, clay and alternative litter. More on that to come!

To kick off our sniff test, we are going to discuss clay versus scoopable litter, the two most common types of litter. There are several advantages to each type. At Kitten Krazy, we use both types of litter. So let's discuss the benefits of each:

Clay:

• inexpensive
• does not turn to mud at the bottom of the box
• does not track across floor as much as scoopable

Scoopable:

• masks odors better than clay
• long lasting
• easier to remove liquids and solids

With each litter having impressive benefits, which one is best? The answer comes down to preference and lifestyle . At Kitten Krazy, we use clay litter with the kittens. As the little ones are learning how to use the litter box they are often messy, in eating, bathing and using the box! So, it is not uncommon for the little ones to have wet paws.

Wet paws + scoopable litter = disaster!

To avoid caked paws, we use clay litter with the kittens . Once over two months old, using scoopable should be fine. In addition, if you bathe your cat, or if your cat has wet paws, it would be wise to limit exposure to scoopable litter until their paws dry.

Clay litter is also a good way to cut the cat budget because it is less expensive than scoopable, and who isn't looking for a way to cut costs? There are several downfalls to clay, largely the fact that clay doesn't mask the smell nearly as well as scoopable. Also, clay is more labor intensive in keeping clean.

So the take away, if you are tight on cash or have babies, clay is the way to go. Or, if you value simplicity and smell over cost, then scoopable is the way to go.

Look for more on specific types of litter to come!
