​Is This the Best Cat Litter Disposal System of 2026? Litter Zero​

Tired of the daily trek to the outdoor trash can? We’re unboxing and testing the Litter Zero to see if it truly traps odors and simplifies cat parenting. Watch to see how the refill system works and if it’s worth the hype for your multi-cat household!

​Yeowww! My Cat’s Balls​

Although I have a crude sense of humor, I found the name of this product when it first came out to be appalling. I still feel that way and wish they would rename it. However, the product itself is great and my cats have enjoyed these over the years.

Yeowww! My Cat’s Balls are a fan-favorite choice for high-energy play, featuring three durable, textured canvas fabric balls packed with catnip in every pack. Each ball is stuffed to the brim with 100% organically grown American catnip—no fillers or plastic—ensuring a potent aroma that keeps cats engaged. Their unique texture makes them easy for cats to hook with their claws, making them perfect for pouncing, batting, and "bunny kicking" around the house.

​January 2026 Giveaway: Litter Zero Cat Litter Waste Disposal System​

The Litter Zero cat litter waste disposal system is a premium unit from the Korean brand Petsnology. It is explicitly designed to sit in your litter box area, acting as a high-tech "vault" for waste.

You still perform your daily scooping as usual, but instead of walking a grocery bag to the outdoor bin or smelling the odors from a standard trash can, you drop the waste into the Litter Zero. In South Korea, where high-density apartment living is the norm, odor control is a science. This system was engineered to ensure that, even in small spaces, you would never know a cat had ever lived there.

​Why Do Cats Hold Their Mouths Open After Smelling? (The Flehmen Response)​

Cats hold their mouths open after smelling something because of the Flehmen Response. This allows them to use the vomeronasal organ (Jacobson’s organ) on the roof of their mouth to ‘taste-smell’ pheromones and chemical signals. It is a completely normal behavior often called ‘stinky face’ or ‘the grimace’.

​Misterio – Ragdoll of the Week​

"First of all hello to all the readers from Floppycats. My name is Álvaro, and I am from Colombia, but I live in Finland, working and studying here. I have always liked cats even if I have always had dogs when I lived with my parents. One of the things that I liked the most about cats is that they usually show an enigmatic behavior, and that they can be cute but also independent."
