More of Kenzie's supplies....
I have 22 tins of sardines, and 13, 25 pound bags of cheap clay litter.
And 4 opened bags of cat food. And four cans of Fancy Feast. I also have a full, unopened bag of cat food; I'm hoping I can return it. I have to look for the receipt. I don't like sardines, but I'm going to start eating them, because they are a good source of protein. Obviously, my next cat, whenever I get one, will HAVE to use clay litter. When I got Kenzie, she used clumping litter. I bought several boxes of it, but I had no place to dispose of the clumps, easily. I used a covered 2 gallon container, but it got really nasty when I opened it. So I switched to the cheap clay litter, and Kenzie took to it immediately. I scooped the solids daily into empty milk cartons, and changed it every week. I don't like to buy it during the winter, because of carrying it on my icy driveway. So I had been slowly stocking up, even as I bought less and less groceries for myself. I hope I get to like sardines.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^..^ "Life without cats IS only marginally worth living." -TC, in loving memory of the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

However, the time will come, and you might like to have those supplies (except for the already opened bags) for the new cat. They have a long shelf life. I know when I lost my first cat, I was in such pain that I thought I would never want to adopt another. Well, of course, I did and I now know that I will never want to be without a cat. One cat cannot possibly replace another, but it is a new life to love and to be loved by. Each cat has his or her unique personality and needs. Have you considered fostering, at least as a temporary measure? You would be giving a home to a needy kitty until a permanent home can be found, and there also would be no financial cost to you because shelters and humane organizations that arrange for fosters almost always cover all of the costs (including veterinary) of taking care of them.

... I have 22 tins of sardines, and 13, 25 pound bags of cheap clay litter. And 4 opened bags of cat food. Birds and squirrels will eat dry cat food. And four cans of Fancy Feast. I wouldn't recommend feeding that to birds and squirrels. I also have a full, unopened bag of cat food; I'm hoping I can return it. I have to look for the receipt. I'm pretty sure if you explain the circumstances the store will take it back. I don't like sardines, but I'm going to start eating them, because they are a good source of protein. I don't like sardines, either. But tinned sardines don't go bad, so just hang onto them for a while. JMHO. So I switched to the cheap clay litter, and Kenzie took to it immediately.

You can spread clay litter on the driveway when it ices to give you traction so you don't slip and fall! Jill |

I've always used sand, which is heavier, and costs more Thank you for the great idea! I've used it to soak up oil spills in my garage: car parts places sell the exact same thing, marked as 'oil absorbent', but is costs twice as much! I just never thought of using it on ice!

It took me a while to decide to feed Boyfie all the posh food I had (because of her lack of appetite) and I still have bags of litter even now. One day I might have a use for them again and perhaps you will, too. ((hugs)) Tweed |

Back when I used to drive, I always carried a couple of bags of kitty litter in the trunk of my car in the winter. It is helpful if you ever get stuck in snow and ice. Save the kitty supplies -- kitty lovers cannot do without a furry companion for long. Kenzie will guide a little friend to you. Best wishes. MLB |

As for disposing of litter pan solids, I use those plastic bags from WalMart and tie the tops so the smell doesn't escape. They go right into the trashcan. |
