In order to keep The Cat happy, scoop out her production and deposit it into a plastic bag. Wrap bag tight, and select a wastebasket that's far enough away from cat litter box not to be noticeable by you and your cat. This might a neutral room where cat litter box isn't located. Empty that wastebasket early and often to keep that part of your home from smelling like a litter box.

Even if you only have one cat, you may have more than one cat litter box. There are many kitties who like to have one box for liquid deposits, and another for solid waste. Here's a good rule of thumb for determining minimum number of cat litter boxes you need in your home:

"X" cats +1 = minimum number of cat litter boxes

Pretty easy, huh? If you have two cats, you need at least 3 cat litter boxes.

So if you do have more than one cat litter box, you'll need to check all of them on a regular basis. Many cats evacuate their bladder and bowels on a fairly regular basis, so you'll get a sense of time of day and/or evening you need to make your rounds. My cat Scout usually voids her bladder anytime between 4:30 AM - 5:30 AM. She usually passes solid waste about an hour later. In evening, she will urinate around 5:30 - 6:00PM, with a feces sample shortly afterward.

By knowing approximate schedule your cat uses litter box, you can plan your trips to check for scoopable products at fairly regular times. Her box is always clean and up to her standards. You can strategically position a waste can far away enough from all cat litter boxes in your home to keep smell out of her cat litter box area, thus encouraging kitty to use her box all time.

Why do almost all conventional vets recommend yearly vaccinations? It’s been industry standard. According to veterinarian Dr. Carolyn Blakey, it accounts for up to 80% of a vet’s business. To recommend less frequent vaccination, vet businesses would take a big financial blow.

If it concerns you to avoid vaccinations, are there any alternatives? There are a couple options. Some holistic vets follow a modified program of vaccinations, giving them at less frequent intervals.

Another option is homeopathic. Homeopathic nosodes are a remedy administered to pets that are believed to assist in disease prevention. Nosodes are made from actual virus, just like a vaccine, but are made differently and are totally safe.

According to Donna Starita, DVM, a leading homeopathic vet, many studies show homeopathic nosodes to be just as effective or more so than conventional vaccines in preventing disease. (3)

Some breeders, such as author Celeste Yarnall, Ph.D., that are interested in more natural methods use exclusively nosodes in place of regular shots. They swear by it’s effectiveness and they say their animals are much healthier than earlier generations that got shots. (4)

So, it’s OK to question necessity of yearly pet vaccinations, with their questionable necessity and potential adverse effects on your pet’s health. This is beginning of this movement, and over coming years, it’s my opinion that we’ll probably see more movement away from such frequent vaccination. Some veterinary schools are already changing their curriculum to advocate changes in vaccination frequency. In end, it will save us all money, and we’ll have healthier pets.

So next time you get that little reminder card in mail that your pet is due for their shots, think twice! And switch your pet’s care to a vet that is more careful about use of vaccines.
