For those who use the litter maid type litter pans, what litter do you find

Hello.  Here are some new pictures I added to my web page of "Smokey"
when he was a kitten.  He passed away this July. I have to say that he
was a very handsome little guy.  He was 15 years old and had a wonderful
life with us.  God bless all our kitties:

My 2 1/2 year old cat has had a watery eye for the last 4 - 5 days. Should I
worry about this or could it be normal cold. any advice. We have introduced
a new kitten to the house hold which is under quarantine. And she did have

I'm wondering if cats exhibit the same trait in dogs which creates an alpha
male in the group. The reason why I'm asking is when I play with my cat and
he's getting a little rough I tell him "no" or I say "hey, hey, hey". I'm

What's a good repellent product (aside from a dog) that will keep cats away
from certain outdoor areas?  The neighborhood tomcats have been spraying near
