After aquiring my two kittens ten years ago I went through every single brand of litter on the shelves trying to find one that didn't stink the house down after just a couple days of use by indoor cats (netured too). The crystals REAKED after a couple days and they are the most expensive, and are supposed to last for months (they dont). They also dissolved in the cat piss rather than soak it up like they're supposed to. I went through a full bag of the stuff in a little over a week. The cats also HATED it, they hated walking on it, they hated the sounds it made when they 'used' it and generally hated the hell out of it. The paper pellets were better, absorbency wise, but as the paper soaked up the catpiss again it stank and they couldnt' really bury their poop in it all that well so they'd smear poop around the place trying. Bleugh. The clay ones were okay, but pricey and tended to stink in less than a week. The one I use now is made from wood pulp, it isn't as fine grained as the clay kinda like thick dessicated coconut, smells strongly of wood - which is not only kind of pleasant but also absorbs odour from their catpiss. It clumps, you can throw it on the garden and better yet it lasts longer than the crystals ever did. It's also one of the cheapest on the market. It does have the drawback that it tracks a lot more easily than other litters though, but is overall the cleanest and most pleasant stuff I've tried. While I'm here can anyone recommend a good umbrella for somewhere windy?

Well, my cat has started hopping around suddenly like somebody just bit him, which is making me suspect that somebody might be biting him. Or that he's just weird (which he is). Anyway, I guess it's time to buy some goo to squirt on the back of his head and kill the theoretical fleas he has. I've been using Advantage in the past and that seems to work fine, but I heard that they lost their patents or whatever and you can get knockoffs with the same ingredients for way cheaper now. The problem is I know that some other super cheap flea goo for cats (particularly Hartz) can actually be really dangerous. I'd rather not kill my cat or give him seizures. Long story short (too late) anybody have recommendations for cheap anti-flea junk that leans more toward "cheap but effective Advantage knock-off" and less toward "cheap but effective cat poison"?

Since Advantage for cats and dogs is the same formula and the dog version won't harm your cat like some dog flea meds will, you can buy 1 big single dose packaged for huge dogs and dose it out with a syringe according to your cat's weight. One $20 vial is enough for 6 or so doses for the average cat, I believe. I've heard that this is the way shelters keep their cats flea-free. I'm not a vet, so if any of this is wrong please don't hesitate to correct me. I don't want to inadvertently kill somebody's Mr. Fluffikins.

I've found over the counter stuff to be very poor. My cat had fleas for the first time ever in his life last year. Apparently the fleas in your area will actually grow immune to certain forms of protection. Or so I've heard. Long story short, if you can take them to the vet. Within 24 hours my cat wasn't scratching anymore and he's been clean since. There's also a huge thread about fleas in Pet Island.

When Hat had fleas, our vet used a free sample of Frontline on him and that killed them all. Maybe your vet is similarly generous?

does anybody have recommendation for a store/online retailer for decently priced luggage? It's time I upgrade my old, ripped, mismatched luggage for something a bit nicer. I'm trying to find deals or sales of some sort, but when searching for "luggage" online, a menagerie of options open up; one of which seem to priced very well. Thanks in advance!

I buy my stuff from http://www.ebags.com. I'm a big fan of their line of products but they also sell a huge range of other manufacturers as well. They also have 20% and sometimes 30% sales and coupons pretty regularly which is nice. TouchyMcFeely has a new favorite as of 14:38 on Sep 1, 2011 |

Not sure if you meant online-only, but for brick and mortar, check if you have a TJ Maxx, Marshalls, or Tuesday Morning in your area. They get factory seconds and last year's name-brand stuff, sometimes ridiculously cheap.

The longer tong slides onto one side of the cork first about an inch and a half, then the second shorter tong. You rock it back and forth to slide the tongs securely around the cork, then just twist it and slid the whole thing out. When you want to re-cork you just repeat the process in reverse. After you do it a few times it become very, very easy, and it leave the corks completely in tact. A friend of mine is part of a group that makes wine and he recommended it to me a long time ago. It's the "cool" way to uncork wine! edit:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1z57Q8PXzc Juriko has a new favorite as of 17:43 on Sep 5, 2011 |

Winter is fast approaching so I want to buy a decent mini umbrella. I live in the UK, so something that I can easily find over here would be preferable. Also, something that withstands wind, since Brighton gets windy. I was looking at Gustbusters, then I saw a lot of reports of shoddy craftsmanship and things just falling off. In fact, every umbrella seems to have half and half positive to negative reviews. Basically I'd like something from a company which offers a decent warranty for things breaking (Lifetime warranty would be ideal!) and who are known for their excellent attention to quality.

Longboard poo poo The best shoes ever.  Supras are the poo poo. If Supra was in a homosexual relationship with Vans, Supra would always give and Vans would always receive and be way too scared to even mention the idea of being on top. Supra is like the hot, confident college guy while Vans is like the whiny emo high schooler. Supras last about 10x longer and look 10x better. The best wheels ever.  The shoe/wheel combination owns for throwin down massive slides on any board. ZanderZ has a new favorite as of 17:53 on Sep 6, 2011 |

I'm looking to make it feel as soft as possible. Don't really want to spend too much, up to about AU$100. Anyone know of anything I might like?

Any recommendations for something roughly similar to moleskine journals in the abuse taking department with better paper (Clairefontaine and so forth)? Unlined or french ruled preferably but standard college ruled is fine. I unfortunately can't find any of the Rhodia journals recommended to me around here and I'm not sure how they are but if someone tells me otherwise...

On the litter robot topic, I do not find it to stink in the slightest, even up to 8-9 days between changings. I work from home and have the litter robot right next to my desk, too, so even a subtle odor would bother me if it was there. The key, I found, was to use odor-blocking garbage bags, along with the right kind of litter (I use the Arm and Hammer Double Duty). With this combo of products, the only time there's any kind of odor is when I open the drawer at the bottom to change out the bag.

WARNING: THIS POST TALKS ABOUT POOPING Metamucil (Also found in most grocery stores.) Ok, before you take your stance that you are fine without this product and poo freely, several times a day, let me tell you that is not why I take this. I am a 23 year old male who has never experienced "irregularity" with bowel movements. A month or so ago, I saw my oldest brother taking a dose of Metamucil and I of course made a joke about being backed up. He then told me about how once you start taking this stuff, you'll never want to stop. I was curious, and boy was he right. Pros:

Is there a site that is like Threadless but for hoodies? I know they also have hoodies but I don't like any of the designs/colors on offer, while I can generally find at least a couple of shirts in their lineup that I like enough to order of in any given month or so. Even better would be a link site like Teemagnet where I can check out multiple hoodie sellers at once. I'm looking only for stores that ship to Europe.

I tried "crystal" cat litter once. I thought it was great, at first. The poop was easy to take out, and the piss appeared to magically vanish and there was no odour at all. Until I got round to changing it... The cat piss just soaks straight through the crystals and builds up at the bottom of the tray, so the top crystals look shiny and new, but when you dig it out there's a sort of horrific sludge of concentrated cat urine lurking at the bottom, waiting to gas you with a cloud of ammonia. Never again.

NorskHotDog posted:When its time, its time. You will feel it coming and you need to get to a restroom right away. I like this because I'm not a fan of the foreshadowing feeling of a big poo an hour before its showtime. I like to just get it out and then its party party party again. I think this is the biggest obstacle to everyone taking this sort of thing (Besides the smell) - I personally prefer to take a poo poo at home, and I'm sure a lot of other people are the same way, so if you're out of the house a lot it's not great.
