 Rafiki & Foe Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoy the stories and information about our furry friends. As a long term cat lover, starting with Sulieman the Magnificent (Suli) when I was about two years old up to the present menagerie of the twins, Rafiki and Foe (who hate each other) and Folly, the baby of the family, I don’t know how I could live without them! Sadly we lost old Gizmo this year but she had a good innings reaching 15 years old.
As some wit once said “Dogs have masters, cats have servants.” How true that is!
Enjoy browsing.

There are a variety of types of cat litter on the market and they each have different uses.
Antibacterial cat litter which, as the name suggests, contains ingredients which fight bacteria and the consequent bad smells.
Feline Pine cat litter is a popular brand in America. It’s natural and chemical free and reviewers say that their cats are more comfortable with it.
Cat Litter Pine Fresh is the UK brand equivalent which is wood based, biodegradable and always smells fresh. Claims to be clumping litter but may not be suitable for automatic cat litter boxes which.
Cat litter crystals are quite revolutionary in that both liquid and odour is absorbed, leaving the litter tray clean, dry and fresh smelling for a whole day.
Clumping cat litter sticks together or “clumps” when wet so that it’s easy to scoop from the litter tray together with the solid waste. Thus the remaining litter in the box is reusable and just needs more litter adding to replace that which has been scooped. The whole lot should be replaced around once a month.
Non-clumping cat litter is manufactured from clay and sometimes has odour suppressants or perfume added. Non-clumping litter should be changed

No matter how much you love your cat, there’s one job which nobody in the family will want to do and that’s cleaning out the litter tray. Unpleasant though it may be, cat litter cleaning is an absolutely essential task and failure to do it regularly may lead your cat to look elsewhere to do his toilet.
Cats are such clean creatures that they don’t like to use a dirty litter box. If it isn’t otherwise obvious, for example when the cat has completely covered solid matter or wet patches with dry litter, you will know that the box is dirty by the behaviour of the cat. He will balance precariously around the outer edges of the box while he does his business or he may visit the box and leave again immediately without doing anything.
I find that lining the litter tray with newspaper makes the cleaning process much easier as you can just fold up the lot, wrap it in more newspaper and put it in a plastic carrier bag for disposal. If the newspaper lining is thick enough, you won’t even have to wash the box out.
Notwithstanding the daily cat litter cleaning and replacing, solid

Looking for good feline pet care info? In this article, you’ll learn four easy steps that you can take that will help increase your cat’s vitality and health and improve the quality of time you have together. Since your cat can’t make health decisions, it’s important to make sure that you are informed about preventative care.
The first thing to do in terms of feline health advice is to check the ingredients label on the cat food you are feeding your pet. Most pet owners are unaware that some pet food is little more than junk food. Even trusted commercial brands contain cheap fillers, meat byproducts and chemicals that can build up in your cat’s organs and tissues and make your pet ill.
Like us, pets need healthy food that is full of nutrients to build, repair and heal the body as well as fight off infection and disease. Look for good food at your grocery store, pet store, vet’s office or the health food store. While organic food may be more expensive, it will be more cost effective in the long run because your pet won’t need to eat as much to be satisfied. Also, it will save

(The books I publish are always proof read and corrected before publishing on Kindle! David Snode)
Among animals possibly the most perfect, and certainly the most domestic, is the Cat. I did not think so always, having had a bias against it, and was some time coming to this belief; nevertheless, such is the fact. It is a veritable part of our household, and is both useful, quiet, affectionate, and ornamental. The small or large dog may be regarded and petted, but is generally useless ; the Cat, a pet or not, is of service. Were it not for our Cats, rats and mice would overrun our house, buildings, cul- tivated and other lands. If there were not millions of Cats, there would be billions of vermin.
Since the foundation of the National Cat Club, followed by the Cat Club and the British Cat Club, of course cats have attained a more important position than they formerly held, and not only are they raised in popular favor, but have greatly increased in value, so that specimens of sufficient quality to win prizes in their classes readily find purchasers at remunerative prices, and I know of many persons,
