This article is great at illustrating why we’re always saying to other people “Only a cat owner can understand.” Because it’s true! Only we, the cat owners of the world, truly do understand cat hair everywhere or random objects laying spewed on the floor as if they were pushed off of a high surface. What about your kitty’s backside always in your face or that toilet paper roll that never stood a chance. Personal space? What is that?! Just know that your feline friend, your furbaby, is the BOSS. And you’re okay with that because why? You are a cat owner. You understand.
Can Kitty Litter Be Pretty?
Yes, but it can also be life-saving too. How? With this new litter called PrettyLitter.* The litter changes color if the urine is abnormal which can be indicative of a potential health problem in your cat such as a UTI (or Urinary Tract Infection), liver or kidney problems, and blood in the urine. There is even a color-coded key on the bag so you are able to match the color with the possible medical issue. If the litter changes color – head to your vet.
Besides catching a health issue early, this litter also controls odor and is easy to maintain, allowing the urine to evaporate leaving you to scoop only the urine or poop, nothing more. And one bag of litter lasts a month so you won’t need to worry about switching it out weekly. It’s also free of toxins and ships free – BONUS! Check out a quick video to learn more.
*In no way am I selling the aforementioned product nor am I receiving any commissions or rewards from the marketer. I am simply recommending this product because it looks interesting and could be life-saving for your feline friend.

Hairballs 101
Picture this: you wake up in the middle of the night due to that tall glass of water you drank right before bed. You’re stumbling, barefoot or slipperless, towards the bathroom and BAM your foot steps into something soft, wet, and slimy. Ahhhhhh!!! As a cat owner we can all say that we have experienced this at least once. But, as your hopping around and saying things you might not mean in the morning, keep in mind that hairballs are a sign of a healthy grooming routine by your kitty…because we all know that cats do not like baths.
Cats have these fancy little hook-like features on their tongue (think sandpaper mixed with Velcro) that collect loose hair upon licking which in turn, once swallowed, forms into a ball that eventually comes back up. Note that hairballs are more common in the spring as your cat begins to shed their winter coat and the bigger the cat, the bigger the hairball.
At the end of the day, hairballs are purrfectly natural and are imperative to a healthy feline. Wanna know more? Read this article to learn 7 facts about hairballs.
