Record Weather Rough on Cat Litter
While in Australia we are currently suffering record heat waves, over in Europe countries are coming to a standstill because of the big freeze. Snow, ice and cold are also at record levels.
Either way it can be a tough time for pets and I was interested in reports that Britain has run out of cat litter. The reason? People have found it very effective against the ice and snow on the roads.
In fact, the absorbent type of cat litter has various uses. I’ve always used it for mopping up oil leaks after working on the car. It’s useful when you spill liquid, say in the kitchen.
Hopefully there will still be enough cat litter left for the cats in Britain when they want to widdle.
Maybe they’ll have do what we did in the good old days before there were manufactured products – either put kitty outside to do it or use newspaper.
The extreme hot and cold weather does present problems for pets. Currently my problem is keeping them cool. Air conditioning can be harmful to some (like rats with lung problems) so we’ve bought some extra fans. I also make sure there’s plenty of fresh water around.
In the heat pets like cool foods and we include treats like chilled cheese, water melon, milk, ice cream and a coconut drink.
We also use little hand sprays to cool them down with water.
In the cold weather its wrap-up time and they get clothing made from the sleeves and legs of garments.
