When you live and or work closely with another individual – be it human or animal, it helps to understand what that individual is trying to communicate to you.

Spay Day is an annual campaign of The Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International to inspire people to save animal lives by spaying or neutering pets and feral cats.

1. Do you have any recommendations for Hypoallergenic cat litter?
Regular clay litter is probably as hypoallergenic as you can get, however, it can be dusty, which may bother some cats as well as their owners. Yesterdays news would probably be a good choice as it is made of compressed pelleted newspaper. The ink may be a problem for some owners who are sensitive to it. Corn cob litter is an organic choice for owners that may prefer this.
