With my cats I use a covered litter box, with the door flap taken off, no more poop on the floor. Once our nineweek old kitten gets bigger, we'll have to get a covered one.

Oh I know there are lots of purebred rescues out there. Thats what I'm trying to say. There are dogs of everybreed out there, not wanted. My dog Mollie is a "designer breed" (boxer/beagle). Now I'm not sure if it was intentional (the breeding of...

Not trying to cause a storm, but in my opinion a dog is a dog. Mixed breed, purebred same thing. Please don't go around bashing mixed breeds (designer dogs). I have two mixed breeds who wouldn't have a home if it weren't for me. And those who ha...
