Cat Litter Review

... forward to perhaps reading a review or two on this thread... here and also upstairs near cat litter trays if guests were expected...

... privilege of testing � (the detailed review will be coming soon to... prevent eye strain. Has your cat done its business? MiLoco sees... purifier located next to the litter box.  It was incredibly impressive ...!! The final clap and the review Finally, the day of departure ...

I adopted my cat Milo about four months ago and he’s been amazing except for one ongoing issue that’s driving me insane. He will not use the new enclosed litter box I bought him no matter what I do. For the first three months he was perfectly fine with a basic open litter box. No accidents, no issues everything was great. But the litter tracking was out of control and my apartment is small so I was constantly sweeping up litter from every corner. I decided to upgrade to one of those fancy enclosed litter boxes with the top entry thinking it would solve the tracking problem. I spent $85 on this thing. It has good reviews, it’s the right size, it’s supposed to reduce odor and mess. I did everything right, I put it next to his old box, I didn’t remove the old one right away, I even put some of his used litter in the new one so it would smell familiar. He sniffed it once and has completely ignored it ever since. It’s been two weeks and he still exclusively uses his old open box. I tried removing the old box for one day thinking he’d have no choice and he just held it until I felt guilty and put it back. Now I have two litter boxes taking up space in my tiny apartment and he only uses one. My friend suggested I look at different designs like maybe a cat house style box instead of top-entry but I’m worried I’ll spend another $80 and have the same problem. I even found some behavioral discussions on alibaba where breeders talk about litter box preferences and apparently some cats just hate change. Do I just accept defeat and go back to sweeping litter every day? Has anyone successfully transitioned a stubborn cat to an enclosed box? submitted by /u/UniversityAny9242 to r/CatAdvice [link] [comments]

i need to sort this out because it has gotten embarrassing. i have two cats in a one bedroom apartment and the smell is out of control. i scoop every day, sometimes twice, and it still hits you the second you walk through the door. i've tried different litters, different deodorizers, different box placements and nothing is making a real difference. been looking at automatic litter boxes because at this point i need something that handles waste more frequently than i can manually. but i can't tell if the odor control is actually better with these or if people just like not having to scoop. has anyone in a small apartment switched to an automatic one and noticed the improvement? would love to know what worked before i spend money on something that just looks good in reviews. Just circling back: ended up getting the Petlibro and it finally fixed the smell problem in my small apartment with two cats. it cycles waste into a sealed compartment pretty quickly after each use so nothing sits there marinating, plus the stainless steel interior doesn't hold onto odors like my old plastic box did. also they accept HSA/FSA through Flex now so you can use pre tax dollars which made the upgrade hurt less. submitted by /u/Mcgusty-Lizardo to r/Apartmentliving [link] [comments]

I have used this sitter in the past but I bought a camera a few months ago and had the idea to use it to check in on my cat while my son and I went out of town for 3.5 days. I hired her to stop by twice a day for 30 minutes to play with her and give her some attention, once in the morning and once in the evening. I have litter robot and a water fountain so other then play I asked her to just make sure everything is working and fill up her kibble if it gets low. The problem. She isn’t staying 30 minutes, her longest visit was 13 minutes. The first time I noticed my camera didn’t message me even though she said she started her visit. I texted her and asked if my cat was ok and guess who walked in the door (on the phone) two minutes later. She was on her phone for most of the 13 minutes actually. Then on Wednesday she came by for 9 minutes and again at 1:37 for one minute (to get pictures I am pretty sure) even though her rover card says she came at 5:24-5:54. I texted her at 5:45 again asking for pictures, thinking she was just outside but this time she said her rover is acting up. I will not be using her again but should I leave a bad review? Will other sitters not wait me as a client if I write a bad review? submitted by /u/Zombie_Scum to r/RoverPetSitting [link] [comments]

I’m looking for an affordable litter sand brand for my kitten. This is my first time as a cat parent so I’m not sure. I’ve searched the whole Internet and I’m leaning towards these ones (I’ve attached the photos) but the reviews are mixed so I would like some help. Thank you!! submitted by /u/lunaamii to r/IndianPets [link] [comments]

I’ve been a Rover sitter for a little over a year now and just had my first bad experience. I’d appreciate perspective from other sitters or pet owners. I apologize in advance for the length of this post (just wanna provide as many details as possible). A client booked me for 3 drop-in visits for her two cats. She declined a meet & greet, saying she was too busy. Normally I always require one, but since it was just 2 cats for 3 days (1 visit per day), I figured it would be okay without a meeting. The client originally told me she would leave a key under the mat, however, the day before the booking, she messaged saying she couldn’t find the key and would just leave the door unlocked, but not to worry because she has a camera by her front door and it’s a very safe neighborhood. When I arrived at the address listed in the booking (about 25 minutes away from where i live) the door was locked, so I checked under the mat for a key but didn’t see one. I tried contacting the client through Rover and by phone but didn’t hear back and her emergency contact’s number was disconnected. After about 10 minutes, she replied and asked if I had checked under the mat, which I replied that I did but there was no key. While I was waiting outside in my car for her to reply, a random man pulled up, unlocked the door to the house, and went inside. I texted the client and asked her if she was expecting anyone because a man walked in, and she replied with “umm no? I’ll call you in a little bit”. I didn’t feel safe knocking on the door since she had told me no one should be home, and I let her know that as well. After waiting another 15 minutes, I contacted Rover support because I couldn’t access the home and the client stopped responding. Later that evening (about 3 hours later), I checked my phone and saw that the client had left me 4 intoxicated voicemails. In 3 of them, she was saying she doesn’t understand why I didn’t “feel comfortable” knocking on the door at the original addresses house and called me dramatic/overreacting. On the last voicemail, she said she had listed the wrong address on her profile and gave me a different address about 5 minutes away from my home. I went to the correct address, but when I entered her apartment, I immediately got hit with a horrible smell. I did see both cats and they looked normal, except one darted away into the bedroom. Then I went to the kitchen to get the cat food ready and saw there was rotting food, trash, and bugs all over the kitchen, including on their food and water bowls. I cleaned their bowls and refilled them with food and water. That’s when I saw a trail of old, dried up diarrhea on the floor leading from the kitchen and living room all the way to the bathroom where the litter boxes were. It was obvious that the fecal matter was older than at least a week. There was also rotting trash and bugs in the bathroom. The litter boxes were heavily soiled and it was clear they hadn’t been cleaned for a while. It was hard to breathe in the bathroom because of how strong the ammonia smell was. There was also an old smeared feces pile on the floor/wall near the toilet (couldn’t tell if it was human or cat). I thoroughly cleaned the litter boxes, took out the trash, and gave food/water to the cats for all 3 visits. Right after my last visit, because of the rotting environment, bugs, and since the ammonia smell remained really strong even after cleaning the litter boxes several times, I contacted Rover support to ask what I should do. Based on the guidance I received, I requested a welfare check from local animal services due to concern about prolonged ammonia exposure being harmful for both cats and humans. Now I understand that cat pee smells like ammonia. But when I tell you that it was hard to breathe in the apartment because of the smell alone, that’s what really made me reach out to Rover support. Rover told me I needed to let the client know that I had called animal services so I sent her a message on Rover letting her know that I had requested a welfare check due to the overpowering smell of ammonia and the condition of the apartment. The client then left me a 1-star review stating that “cat pee smells like ammonia” and called me ridiculous. I currently have 15 reviews total and this dropped my rating from 5.0 to 4.7 which I know isn’t the end of the world, but it was still disappointing to see my rating drop when I’ve had only had positive client experiences so far before her. Has anyone dealt with a situation like this? Did Rover ever remove a retaliatory review? I sent all of the photos, voicemails, and documentation that I had to Rover Support so they can investigate this, but I haven’t heard back yet about whether they’ll take down the review or not. Also, lesson learned: I will definitely not skip meet & greets again, and if a client says they’re too busy, then I most likely will not book with them. submitted by /u/avalonstrider3636 to r/RoverPetSitting [link] [comments]

So, I’ve always wanted to have huskies but the prices were a little too high for me to rationalize and I felt like I needed a lot more space for them because I have two daughters who are very young and already have a Lab Mix and 3 fat cats, but after moving and getting a 2 acres Lot with my husband I felt like it was the perfect time. So, without further thought here are my cuties. Bingo and Mochi 💕 More Information: Yes, I got them from a Breeder who I deemed ethical by their reviews and how they cared for them. I say I got them cheap because for other places I looked, they were 2k - 4k and champions which I didn't want as I don't plan on making them show dog, Mine were less than 1K. Bingo $750 (White-Male) Mochi $650 (Agouti-Female) They are AKC Registered, they were taken to the vet within a week of me having them. I did order a Embark DNA Test (comes Friday) for both of them to double check everything as suggested by a commenter, so thank you for that. I also Plan In doing that to my other dogs as I am pretty curious. They are NOT from the same litter, but they were born on the same day, nor did I get them the same day. I got Bingo in Feb and Mochi in April. Yes, I was mistaken with my information on Littermate syndrome, I had a belief that I waited enough time, I was wrong, My apologies. Thank you to those who were kind to me and tried to inform me nicely of my mistakes so that I can better care for my babies and for the mean ones, I hope that you all have a good day, I know deep down you mean well and might just not express that nicely. :) On that note, I have them now and we love them very much. They will have the best life as I aim to make them as spoiled as possible just like I've done with my children and other babies :) Thank you to all submitted by
