• Taurine – www.iherb.com (capsules are easiest to get doses right)
• Vitamin C – Buffered Ascorbic Acid Powder www.iherb.com (huge containers for cheap!  Buy some for yourself and ask us about the salt & vitamin C detox regimen for heavy metals.  Also use during cold season)
• Glandular Complex (http://vitanetonline.com/description/NR0265/vitamins/ImmoPlex-Glandular/)

• Grain & Salt Society Celtic Sea Salt (www.azurestandard.com)
• Bone meal – www.iherb.com, www.kvVet.com
• Gelatin – www.radiant4life.com, www.iherb.com, local health food store, grocery store (you make desserts out of it!  Get plain gelatin not the Jell-O-Brand stuff).
• Raw Organic Apple Cider Vinegar – Health food stores, grocery stores, www.azurestandard.com
• Prozyme – www.kvvet.com
• Lysine – Not mandatory but we highly recommend dosing your cats with this daily especially during times of stress or illness.  It boosts their immune system and will help clear up draining/irritated eyes.  Buy the capsules at www.iherb.com and break them open and add to food before feeding.  250 mg twice daily

Pendraig Approved Clumping Litters

• Feline Pine Scoopable (Large pellet variety works well but most cats hate it)
• World’s Best Cat Litter
• Arm & Hammer Natural Litter (not good with Purrforma automatic litter-box)
• Healthy P Pod (tracks a lot, hard to find, some cats don’t like it)
• Swheat Scoop (doesn’t clump well though, bad for self cleaning boxes)
• More to come!!

Litter-Boxes

We recommend a minimum of 1 box per 2 cats it is worth the investment. If you are a two cat household (or even one!) opt for 2 boxes especially if your house is large or split level.  Kittens especially have trouble “holding it” to get all the way to the litter-box.

Automatic Litter-box Choices

• Purrforma - We use the Purrforma litter-box but it breaks down and has issues with litter scatter and getting stuck.  Buy the Jumbo size with hood.  We buy it from PetGuys.com http://www.petguys.com/-029695228600.html o http://www.futurpet.com with shipping the price is still better than what you find at your local stores, but be sure to check there first.  Jumbo size is a must for the large adult Siberian cat to feel comfortable.
• Litter Robot - We have plans to try out the Litter Robot soon and we will let you know how well it Works.  We do know it isn’t good for kittens under 5 lbs so be cautious.
• Litter Maid – We had one 10 years ago and it was awful.  The plastic tines of the rake get stuck, and it makes an awful racket, terrifies the cats.  We hate that there isn’t a removable/disposable liner for easy clean up and the waste containers are expensive and clumsy.  We did note that the plastic tines were changes to metal recently and other changes were made but at this time we cannot recommend this litter-box.

Non-Automatic Choices

• Durable plastic tubs minimum 6 inches deep, 12 inches long and 8 inches wide.  Big enough for your medium-large cat to move around in easily and high enough to prevent scatter.  We buy Rubbermaid ones and have extras so we can clean out litter-boxes completely and disinfect one and use a stored, previously disinfected/dried tub.
• Commercial litter-boxes with/without hoods – some cats HATE hoods because it traps the smell in and this can create litter-box avoidance in some cats.  In others they like the privacy and security.

Other Helpful Items

• Feliway – Pheromone Spray & Plug-In Diffuser buy at www.kvvet.com or http://www.petguys.com/-039079056830.html (helps prevent scent marking & scratching, helps nervous cats settle down and feel comfortable).
• Catnip – Buy Organic to be safe, or Cosmic Catnip brand.  Use as a digestive aid and to entice cats to play and use their toys, scratchers and cat furniture.
• Scratchers – Cat Claws & Cosmic Cat are great brands.  Catnip makes these irresistible.
• Double Wide Cardboard Scratch Post -  http://www.petguys.com/-079593112000.html
• Aspen-Booda Sisal with Catnip Interior - http://www.petguys.com/-723503504560.html (kitty heaven)
• Sisal Scratchers & Cardboard Scratchers of different varieties – Kvvet.com (free shipping on most products, min $50 order or $5.00 charge)
• More to come!  If you find something you like let us know, we might add it to the list.

We are always adding to our list and will be setting up a pet resource website that is more up to date than the one currently linked.  If you find a product and/or company you love, please tell us about it.  We will announce updates in the Newsletters for Pendraig Siberian Owners and members of the Feline Health Club Newsgroup.
