same as Mel really ... we have 2 cats, and they are very different personalities. One is like a dog, it follows me everywhere inside and is very forgiving with the boys, he's been bounced on by the eldest and dragged around a fair bit. The other cat is a bit of a diva and hides from the 2 boys, can't blame it though. Litter - yep, just empty the poo each day, if you get clumping litter then you can sift out the urine clumps at the same time and there's no odour. I have a tray which actually has a sieve in it, you just lift it every day and tip the lumps into the bin. They don't drink milk (despite the stereotype) as it can make them quite ill, just water to drink, I give ours good quality cat food, 1 cup between the 2 cats / day so that's around $56 / 2 months per cat. Quite reasonable.

There's nothing quite like a cat sitting on our lap, purring its little heart out, when you're feeling down.
