The Happy Wag

A litter box in the Sky

Ah, what a wonderful distraction the Sky Mall magazine is when you are crammed into the middle seat on a long, turbulent flight, as I was last Sunday.

Sure, I was losing feeling in my feet and legs, but I am always happy perusing Sky Mall, chock full of hundreds of cool things that I never knew I needed but I am pretty sure I can’t live without, including fashion-forward litter boxes.

I hate the unsightly litter box we have now, so I am thinking about investing in one of these attractive alternatives. I like the cabinet, but I think the planter would be more versatile.

My daughter’s cat, India, will be fine with either choice. My concern is my cat Thai, who is very picky about his toilet facilities. He insists on Tidy Cat litter, and if the pan is not in pristine condition, well, let’s just say he does more than think outside the box. I would hate to drop serious cash on one of these decorator kitty restrooms just to find Thai expresses his displeasure all over my floor.

This laser thingy, however, is a must. I may not be able to wait until Christmas to give my kitties this toy.

I am glad I only fly a few times a year. I really can’t afford airfare and the Sky Mall.

Foster homes for the holidays

The Roanoke Valley SPCA is participating in the national “Foster A Lonely Pet For the Holidays” pet fostering program.

Over 13,000 pet rescue organizations nationwide are trying to empty the kennels for Christmas, encouraging families to open their home for the holidays to an adoptable pet waiting for a forever home.

Fostered pets can be picked up between December 18-23, and can be returned to the RVSPCA between December 30-January 2.

The RVSPCA will provide all needed supplies and support to the temporary families. You can view all of the pets online at www.rvspca.org, or visit the shelter to meet them.  The goal is to have each of these pets into a home by noon on December 23.

Ann Marie Sweeney, foster coordinator for the RVSPCA, will answer questions about the program for people interested in making this Christmas a happy holiday for a pet in need.  Contact Sweeney at 344-4840, ext. 208 or e-mail asweeney@rvspca.org.
