Dear Catster reader,
Almost two years ago, we invested numerous resources and rebuilt the Catster community. With new hardware, software and personnel, we did our best to satisfy the many users who shared their thoughts, pictures, questions, and love for and of their pets with us and friends. It was a thriving community with many users. We hoped, however, there would be more like you.
Times and habits have changed and we are sad to announce that the Catster community will be closing down on July 20, 2019.
Catster magazine, www.catster.com and the associated social media sites are NOT shutting down. We encourage you to continue reading the content found in the pages of the magazine and the web sites, commenting through the mechanisms provided and sharing your ideas and comments with us and your fellow readers.
Instructions for accessing pet profiles were shared with everyone in 2017. The instructions can be found elsewhere within the forum. AFTER JULY 20TH, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ACCESS THIS CONTENT. And, effective immediately, we are no longer able to answer questions about the community.
Thank you for your support and we look forward to serving you through our magazine and website.
Cheers,

at four weeks old the litter was introduced. she got in put her head down and immediately started eating the litter to which i promptly took her out. when i saw blood in her stool the next morning i called the vet first thing and brought her in that day. he didnt seem too worried, said the litter would pass and gave me some of their paper shreds they use in their office. she is using the box with the paper shreds but i think she likes to play with the little pieces more than thinking of them as a elimination area. also it was around the time the paper shreds were introduced that she started having dry sneezes. after she started sneezing for a few days i thought she might have cat flu or upper respitory but that would mean she would have runny eyes and nose too. i think its possible the sneezing might be from the paper. so last night i tried the litter again and she started eating it.
any suggestions on other litter i can try that wont hurt her if she eats it?

You can try The World's Best Cat Litter (corn based) or Swheat Scoop (wheat based). These two would not harm her if she ate it. You could also try a pelleted litter like Yesterday's News (made from recycled newspaper) or Feline Pine (compressed pine pellets) she may find those less appealing.0
