Hello everybody!

I'm back! It's pretty cold outside, so i thought i'd take the opportunity to sit next to my fireplace and write this article. Lol, just kidding, i don't actually have a fireplace, but at least i got my trusty laptop and i'm ready to rock and roll. Today i wanna talk about hygiene. Sure, most of us are clean. We wash ourselves daily, sometimes several times a day. But what about our pets? My cats for instance, are constantly licking themselves. Their saliva contains some kind of enzyme which helps break down bacteria and all kinds of nasties. They are basically self-cleaning organism. This is just so cool! You don't really have to give them a bath, only if they are old and can't clean themselves. I had that happen to a cat of mine once, it was horrible! Anyways, they just hate water. It destroys the coating of their fur and they pretty much dislike that. You can't blame them, it's just one of these things which are special to cats. So, well...this is the reason why felines smell rather nice. If you have not tried smelling a cat, i suggest to do it now. It isn't disgusting at all! 

Poop is so nasty :(

The only nasty thing about cats is their poop. I understand parents of toddler age children who complain about finding feces in their kids sandbox. No, kitty, this is not a big litter box! It's for children to play in. Of course, they don't know the difference and you propably can't tell them :/
But what can you do? You can offer your pet a good litter box in your home. I know that some cats dislike litter boxes and won't use them even if you are enticing them with their favourite treats. Some things you simply can't do on command. Still, many cats eagerly accept litterboxes. The question remains: Which one should I get? Which Litter is right? Personally, i like things eco friendly, but it can get very costly. Also, some litter is rather hard to dispose of. Clay litter is very scoopable, thats what i love about it. I guess it would be perfect to get one of these automatic litter boxes, which are self cleaning, but they can be kinda expensive. Some people on the Internet advocate premium boxes such as the litter robot. But i don't know if i would be willing to spend so much money just to save me a bit of hassle. At least i got two healthy hands and i'm able to scoop up some poop every once in a while. I can understand if pregnant women are using such a device, because they should not come into contact with cat feces because there is some kind of parasite (?) in it which can hurt their unborn child!!! 

I wish my cats could do that, lol!!


In conclusion
... i want to say, that cats are much cleaner animals than dogs. My Randy really smells sometimes and i have to wash my hands everytime i touch him. I tried giving him less meat but that only changed the smell of his farts for the better. Well, you see, i'm getting into „gross-territory“ once again and I guess this means that it is time to leave you for now. I hope you have enjoyed reading my thoughts and as always: comment, share...participate

Thanks and have a perfect, sunny day :)
