Cat Owner Shares “Life-Changing” Litter System That Only Costs $20 A Year
Pet cats can bring a lot of joy into a home, but they’re also a lot of work. While it’s true that cats are often thought of as being more low-maintenance than dogs, it really depends on the specific cat and the systems an owner has in place to take care of them. One of the most daunting parts of taking care of a cat is the litter box. I’d argue that no one truly likes scooping litter. It’s messy, expensive, and has that specific smell that screams “crazy cat lady house.” Photo: Wikimedia Commons One cat...

For so long, a person is known as a dog or cat person until something changes their perspective. You can be a parent to both fur babies — the more you adopt, the more love and happiness exist at home. An animal can show you that they also have personalities that mean more than being a feline or a canine. Photo: Pexels/Nadia Vasil’eva Bruno is a blind cat adopted...
