I just built a cat enclosure for my two cats and I want to put pine
mulch down as the flooring.  Will the pine bark mulch harm them in any
way?  If it is dangerous, what else would be better for them?   (I
don't want to have to keep up with grass inside the enclosure.)

I am close to a Petsmart and a Whole Foods, can get to a Petco and
Trader Joes. I can brood over prices and look for sales, and my cat can
decide the taste, but could you, the more experienced people here,
please rank the following canned food brands according to nutrition:

I should explain that I have taken my cat on trips in a carrier of course.
She cries the whole way, that is why I was looking for an alternate plan
where I could perhaps hold her and she would be safely belted in with the

I have been asking a lot of questions, but please bear with me!
My latest is: Is there such a thing as "cat whistle", something cats
can hear and humans can't. (Similar to what's available for dogs.)

I have informally referred to "my cat" in a few post, but she belongs
to friends who are out of the country for several months and have asked
us to care for her.  If they had lived in another city or even part of
town I would have officially brought her to my home. But they live two

To make a long story short, I am worrying about whether wood mulch
(Cedar Nuggets from Home Depot to be precise) is safe for cats to run
on or jump onto? Or small metal bird baths placed on that mulch?
Nothing bad has happened to our knowledge. But a neighbor's cat
