Ettitude Bamboo Sheets 1-Year Review: Washing for Cat Allergies

In our latest video, I unbox a fresh set of Ettitude bamboo sheets to see how they fit into a cat-friendly home. I always choose crisp white bedding so I can easily spot fleas, and I love that these are non-toxic since Charlie spends so much time sleeping on them. Watch the full video to see my initial wash routine and just how fast a Lily Brush removes stuck-on Ragdoll fur!

2. Poop

Why Is My Cat Pooping Right in Front of the Litter Box?

You have scooped, you have scrubbed, and you have strategized. You have bought the expensive attractant litters and provided a literal buffet of litter box options. Yet, you are still waking up to a frustrating reality: your cat is perfectly utilizing the litter box for peeing, but leaving a solid deposit right on the floor in front of it.

If you are dealing with a cat that refuses to poop inside the box—especially a rescue with a traumatic or un-socialized past—you are navigating one of the most complex puzzles in feline behavior.

The Ultimate Solution for Pet Gut Health: Ion Gut Support

Yesterday, I interviewed a veterinarian who has been practicing for 40 years, and he was telling me how he will put most of his patients on this to heal leaky gut junctions, which is what I used it for with Charlie and Trigg. Sometimes Charlie still gets it. ION Gut Support is a liquid supplement designed to help boost your cat’s digestive health. It contains ingredients that help reinforce the lining of your kitty’s gut, preventing the absorption of harmful toxins that may enter your cat’s body from their food or environment.

Joy – Ragdoll of the Week

"My name is “Joy”, well legally it is Furreal Gina’s Pride and “Joy” and I turned 7 years old in June. I started my life living in Northern California with a breeder, who now tells me she is my “Grandma”, and my job was to produce beautiful kittens. The breeder always told me I was such a good loving momma and that was why I was so good at my job. My last litter had four kittens, and in that litter I had a little girl, Violet. Well I did not know her as Violet then, but that is what her human Mom calls her now."

Seal lynx bicolor Ragdoll cats in desk hammocks.

Hi Reader, Hope you and your kitty are doing well. I want to be transparent with you about why our Facebook feed looks a little different than it has in years past.
