Great minds think alike - as soon as I saw the cute photo with the bag I logged in to say the same thing. Please CUT the handles so she doesn't get strangled. Cats like playing with, biting and licking plastic bags - they are covered in oil so that the cashier in the store doesn't have a hard time separating them. Please also be careful when your cat is biting it too much as little pieces of the plastic bag can end up being swallowed. Playing in a paper grocery bag or a box is much safer and if you put one around I am sure you can convince Mishi of that too.Originally Posted by Barbiecat1
Since this is your first cat I am sure you are anxious to learn as much as you can. As a cat rescue volunteer the one thing we tell people that they may NOT hear from their vet (unfortunately) is that : clumping litter that cannot be flushed should not be used - the cement forms on contact with liquid, including the moisture in your cats nose, their mouths, their tummies - many cats have died (many people don't want to admit it, vets too, but it's a fact). Why does it still exist - it's more convenient for US! AND, cats are carnivores - a diet of dried food only is not good - it would be like you eating dry cereal all the time. Dry food does NOT keep the teeth clean, it actually can damage the enamel and then the food sticks to the teeth, causes bacteria, goes under the gums, in the bloodstream and affects their organs. A good canned food gives them moisture that they need (even people are being told we need to drink more water - a cat needs it in their food) and also replicates the meat they would get in the wild. There are plenty of good brands - Natural Balance, Evo, Wellness, Go, etc.
Long live lovely Mishi!
Please have your pets sterilized as soon as possible to lower, and one day hopefully eliminate, unwanted and abandoned pets. It IS our responsibility. Adopting from a shelter also helps - encouraging breeders just adds to the overpopulation.
