when the litter is wet and clay-like it is sticking on their paws and i am finding lumps of clay around the kitchen, is this normal with this litter???
hopefully they will soon learn not to stand in their mess, i hope.

It is when they stand in it  :doh:  what also sucks about clumping clay is when they run in from the garden with wet feet to use the tray it sticks up their legs which they then shake off everywhere when they have finished  :tired:

I might give that a try for the upstairs tray - mil is coming for 5 week and is sure to notice what Mark calls the farmyard smell of the chick crumb!

my kitchen looked like it was covered in snow when i got up this morning!
when the litter is wet and clay-like it is sticking on their paws and i am finding lumps of clay around the kitchen, is this normal with this litter???
hopefully they will soon learn not to stand in their mess, i hope.
i really like the fact it smells nice and i haven't noticed any accidents anywhere else so far.

hpe everyone is well and making the most of the sunshine  :wow:

it was all my fault, sorry Sue!  :wish:

i don't think it was them avoiding the tray i think it was until my tigerino arrived i had to use a co-op own brand instead as everywhere else was closed etc at first i thouht it was quite good but err no rubbish, i think it was lack of odour control, or maybe one of them over shot the tray slightly, after washing kitchen floor and putting in the new litter seems good so far, fingers crossed x

BTW they are having a blast running up and down the stairs.

They love to dig in fine clay because its lovely litter, when i first got lola & milly i tried wood pellets and they didnt dig - they spent the least amount of time as possible in the tray whilst looking really narked off!

You mention elsewhere about soiling away from the tray, did this happen when you changed the litter?

Well, I pop on here to see how the kittens are doing, and am horrified (as a Moddy body) to see the thread has degenerated into unwholesome and indecent photographs of chocolate and cream and - and - and cakes!!!   :doh:  Tasty looking stuff too.  Disgustin.  It's gotta stop.  I'm starving!!!   :evillaugh:  :drool;

Ah, spotted the blue star confusion.  Rhiannon, they just denote the dangerously mad Purrs members who have been, in a fashion, certified!!  :naughty: :rofl:

the tigerino uggies arrived and although it smells nice after 5 mins of being in the tray the kitchen floor is covered in litter, ooh little monkey's and for the record they are diggers!!!!
so tomorrow i am off to buy a dust buster because i have 24 kg to get through and my back is killing me from being in the floor with a dust pan and brush.  :rofl:

i will let you know how i get on with the kittens using it.

ooh that looks even yummier! chocolate is my fave!i just looked the cake picture i posted, it was off a website called Laura's cakes or something like that so there was no recipie. i will dig out mine, off the top of my head....i made 3 normal/basic sponge cakes with cocoa powder in sandwich tins the recipie said to slice one deep one into 3 but i am definately not that talented, sliced strawberries on each layer and it said to whisk double cream but i always cheat and use extra thick double cream which is soo thick and heavy, perfect i do always add a little bit of icing sugar purely to sweeten it but only a little. then it is really as simple as it looks, layer it up and cover it with cream as well (at this point you will understand why i buy extra thick cream and not beat it myself) occasioally i have crushed up merange nests (don't know the spelling, how awful) and mixed it in the last bit of cream that goes on the top.   personally i don't have that sweet of a tooth, (believe it or not) so i hardly ever use butter icing unless it is for someone else i generally use cream or cream cheese with icing sugar. BBC good food is the best place for cakes and bakes i get a lot of my ideas from there and adapt them for what need/want/crave!!!!!

this is my all time fave cake to eat and make, it is soooo easy

 Pineapple Cake
10oz Margarine (Stork)
8 oz Sugar (normal white)
14 oz Self raising flour
4 eggs
1 large tin of crushed pineapple (drained) can normally only be found in morrissons or sainsbury's, or blend up your own
1 large tin of pineapple chunks (drained)
4 oz Glazed cherries (halved, I use the whole tub otherwise it's a waste)
 
Cream the margarine with the sugar
Add the beaten eggs with few spoonfuls of flour (if it looks like its curdling add more flour)
stir
Add the cherries and pineapple
stir
then add the rest of the flour.
 
Fill 2 loaf tins already greased
 
Bale at 160 oc for 45- 60 Min's
 
Hope this makes some sort of sense. The recipe has been passed on to me so all the fancy words have been taken out.

not that actual one but i have made one like that, that picture was off google images, i always forget to take pictures of my decent looking cakes & desserts. i googled chocolate, strawberry, cream cake and that popped up and it looks just like on i made for my sisters birthday in feb, she is normally the one who makes everyone's (in our little family, not the world!) birthdays cakes but it was my turn this year, she loved it but her hubby was in her bad books cause he said she should make one and she didn't like him saying that.

i love baking but i was putting on loads of weight so had put them on hold for a bit, i have a rayburn and it's a dream to cook/bake with.

Did any of you see the Documentary on Animal Planet on Chernobyl: Life in the Danger Zone...? it was great, it was all about how nature has carried on after 20 years even though everything is radioactive, the main part of the documentary was following a family of cats, it was amazing and i it was really quite emotional.  i hope i wasn't the only one to see this.

Ahhhhh glad to see Daddy has fallen in love with them ... mind you it's very hard not to fall in love with little kittens.   They seem to have taken to him very well - always a good sign when a kitten falls asleep in your arms  :Luv2: :Luv2:

 :cheer:  woo hoo! no gifts this this morning (or there is and i just haven't found it yet!) all i left was water and that obviously did the trick, greedy monkey's! your babies are gorgeous, and your grey babie is looks so tiny. my husband fell in love with them, which i am really pleased about that i was a bit nervous cause i hadn't actually told him, until after the event eek!

i mixed their last sachet of the RC sensitivity food with one of their normal sachets last night and they had some last night and this morning and that hasn't effected them either which i am pleased about also.

i have all this week off so more playing and exploring!

the catsan litter i though was rubbish cause when wet it practically welded itself to the bottom of the tray and i had to physically had to scrape the bottom of the tray everytime and  it just went everywhere so i changed to co-op own brand until this new one arrives, i must admit the co-op one is really good, no smells, clumps really well and is pink so you can see exactly where they pee. looking forward to seeing how this new one is.

i have taken away all their food tonight, no wet no dry only a water bowl on the floor, wish me luck, also i have finished the sensitive cat food, so i mixed the last sachet with a sachet of their normal food so i hope they do't get upset tummies cause i have had to change back to their normal one after having 2 days of sensitive one. soon find out!

they met their daddy on friday and they got on really well, mike has eft now so i took a picture of them having a cuddle before they left....

Sam, I have just purchased 2x bags of tigerino nuggies from zoolplus fromthe link below, will the comission automatically go to Purrs? or do i have to do something?

look forward to giving it a go!

Hi ya,

Sorry to hear the babies have been icky ... I'm sure it's just a case of being little piggies  ;)

Re: the commission .. it will automatically go to Purrs.  I hope you like the Tigerino ... it is very fine and if your little ones are "diggers" it probably will also go everywhere.

Sooo cute, I love all these kitten pics.
We thought my Belle was a girl too, then found out he wasn't. But I've had him since the day he was born and couldn't see him as anything but Belle by that point. It's girly, but tough, he's stuck with it now  :evillaugh:

i will take away some of their dry food just leave a little out so if they want to graze they can. the vet wormed them last Tuesday, and there was nothing that came through.

before i go to bed tonight i will take away their dry food.

we had an adventure today introducing them to the living room....under and behind sofas, they didn't want to come back out, very stressful they are asleep now, knackred them out i expect, well i am beat!


 :thanks: again for the advice  will let you know how i get on tonight.

Are they eating too much? When dry food swells it cant always fit in! Also are you worming them regularly with a quality product?
