Possible Help for Anyone with Cats and Litterbox Problems

I've had problems with my cats not using the litterbox properly for about 5 years now. After I moved to Atlanta, they weren't very good about using the litterbox. Prior to that, they were perfect, even though (as I later found out) I was doing everything wrong according to the experts - one box for five cats, next to their food... I moved frequently, and the household was almost always chaotic... things like that. I did keep the litter clean, but that's apparently all I did right. Anyway, I moved down here and all hell broke loose as far as litterbox usage goes. As a result, I consulted vets, behaviorists, communicators, did research, read... in short, I tried EVERYTHING, and NOTHING worked. My cats, it would seem, are an anomoly in the feline kingdom.

So, when shopping for more litterboxes to accommodate household re-arranging, I happened, quite by chance, on Cat Attract cat litter. Now, one the things I've tried in the past was changing litter brands, and I'm a HUGE fan of The World's Best Cat Litter. I've tried pretty much all the different brands of litter, scoopable and not. But, on a whim, I bought some anyway, enough for the two new litterboxes. I figured it couldn't hurt, and if it helped a little, well, then, every little bit helps.

And damned if it doesn't seem to be working. Two of our six litterboxes have this stuff in it, and they're clearly the most used in the house, and the litterboxes are much more full than they used to be. The spots where I know they've been going don't seem to be soiled (more) at all. I'm flabbergasted. All that time, money, and effort for all that other stuff, and then this product comes along, and it looks like my problem is basically solved.

Go figure.

I post this in hopes of it helping someone else. I almost had one of my cats put to sleep as a result of the carpets. I'm sooooooo glad I didn't. I could have never lived with myself. Maybe I can save a cat, or a household, or someone's sanity. And best of luck to anyone who's had that problem.

Pair con woman, 86, out of $773,081 in savings

If what the news says is true, that little old lady allegedly attempted tax evasion, money laundering and conspiracy, so why is her ass not sitting in federal prison?

Howdy!

I'm a massage therapist / bear guy in Atlanta, GA. I work for myself and am always interested in hearing from folks (not just guys or gays or bears, tho that's my target market) who need or just want a good massage - either therapeutic or recreational.

I travel in the Atlanta Metro Area and to certain conventions, runs, and events around the country.

I accept credit card and paypal payments as well as cash and personal checks.

I sell gift certificates for my services.

I'm glad to meet new folks and happy to help you with your massage needs! :)

My website can be found at www.bearpaws.biz if you would like to read more or get other contact info.

If you live in the Atlanta area and are interested in a full-body Swedish/Deep Tissue massage (or you want Reflexology, Myofascial Release, or Neuromuscular Therapy) from a friendly bearish chap, let me know.

If you aren't interested in massage, feel free to say howdy and browse around my journal anyway!

Hope this post falls within the community rules, I'm a n00b, be nice!

Chinese Buffet

I know that the best way to experience Chinese food is probably not off of a buffet, but before I moved to Atlanta I got used to not having to choose between my General Tso and my beef and broccoli. Every now and again I just get a craving for a giant Chinese buffet instead of the sushi and Thai food that I have been sampling lately. Now is one of those times. Where are the good buffets? I am speaking both in terms of the size of the selection and the quality of the food, service etc. I am mainly wanting to try places ITP but could venture a little farther if it were really really good. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... my birthday is next month and I have told my friends that this is the one treat I want... so I need to know where to go!!
