We love our pets, and there is scientific evidence that shows that our pets are helping us be healthier and happier.  A UCLA study concluded that people who live with pets have fewer doctors visits and spend less money on medication than those without pets.  Other studies have shown reduced cholesterol levels in pet owners, and lower blood pressure overall.  Where we live, it is important to keep cats and small dogs inside, away from the coyotes and cars.  But the dilemma for many who would like to live with a cat is the litter box situation.  Well, there are lots of solutions now!  My friend Sandra (www.creatingblissmeditation.com), a minister who performs marriage ceremonies for animals, told me about this amazing kitty litter that is both scoopable and flushable.  It’s made out of corn, all natural, and naturally odor-free, no perfumes necessary.  It’s soft on kitty’s paws and there’s no tracking.  And it’s totally safe for pipes, even for septic tanks!
