Recently, I interviewed a cat mom for this story for a series I write on vetstreet.com. When I told her I was the creator of The Happy Litter Box, she couldn’t believe it. She said, “My boyfriend and I love your site! We poured through it trying to find a solution for our cat, Cesare!” [...]

Why I Started The Happy Litter Box

October 10, 2011

Some days I just shake my head and laugh at the lengths my husband and I have gone to in order to accommodate our problem child, Romeo’s, pee habits. Romeo will pee on anything soft on the floor – towels, rugs, visiting guest’s jeans (sorry, grandma!), you name it. Forget having wall-to-wall carpet. We learned [...]

The Nose Knows Nose Offense

September 22, 2011

While cats bring so much joy to a household, they also bring less than lovely odors, mostly related to the litter box. And, the thing about litter box odors is that they sneak up on you. Our litter box station is in the basement so one would think any stink is contained downstairs. Nope. For [...]
