Going Green cont.

So, as much as I like the litter "Yesterday's News", my cat Apollo doesn't. He went to the bathroom in there a few times but now he's kinda refusing. Last night he decided to pee on a black garbage bag, poop on the rug, and then pee this morning in Artemis' carrier. After spending an hour cleaning the mess up, i've decided to use one littler as a transition and the other will just have the new litter. I went and picked up some cat attractant (which pretty much smells like cat nip so it probably is). I really don't want to clean up anymore messes but I don't want to go back to clay litter since I think the dust caused Artemis' upper respiratory infection. So Apollo must suck it up and use this new litter... I hope. My kittens are really taking me for a crazy ride this week. Both of them are sick and Artemis can be cured... but Apollo might have IBD. Inflammatory Bowel Disease is where the intestines are chronically infiltrated with inflammatory cells and it's not curable, just manageable with immunosuppressants and a different diet. If Apollo does have this "disease", i'm not putting him on prednisone for the rest of his life, i'll just switch his diet to one that's grain free. I've given this a lot of thought. Right now we're trying probiotics and then antibiotics. If those don't work, he most likely has IBD. My poor little kitty. I really hope my student budget can afford him.
