Re: Question for cat owners

We have 5 stray cats that we took in and they share 4 litter boxes so we take the least expensive option.

For litter, we buy the cheapest store brand possible. But we augment it by adding Arm & Hammer Cat Litter Deodorizer Powder. Does a pretty good job minimizing smells. I really should remove the feces mid-week but usually too lazy to do so.

For the food, again we choose the least expensive store brand for both wet and dry. If the cat doesn't like it, level up to the next higher cost brand until you find one the cat will tolerate. But don't give up too easy. Cats often turn up their nose to a new food until they realize you're not bringing something else.

We made the mistake of starting with an expensive brand (Fancy Feast) when we had just the one cat, now she won't try most cheaper store brands. But the other four are happy with the cheaper selection. One way to nudge them to try is to add a couple of treats to get them to taste it.

Honestly I would stop all the wet food altogether but the wife caves in when the cats get all googley-eyed.

They are cute and each has their own personality but can get expensive.
