You shouldnot feed dog food to your cat because cats have different dietary needs than dogs.For example, cats need taurine, which is absent from commercial dog food(because dogs can make their taurine, while cats cannot).

Cat food is easily more expensive than dog food, due to dogs being biologically capable of processing vegetable proteins whereas cats cannot. This means cat food SHOULD only contain animal protein and is thus more expensive.

Google is your friend

I understand your problem that now you will have difficulty ridding yourself of - if you really want to.
Cats are much abused and neglected by ill-informed and ill-intentioned people.

If you wish to help cats in need in your area I suggest you contact a Cat Protection League for advice and maybe thinking about starting your own branch of this worthwhile charity.

You could register as a charity, pester the local press and radio stations and ask local stores for donations of food and approach animal welfare/protection organisations and veterinarians to obtain low cost or free help and advice.
Many stores will allow charities to place a bin and a suitable sign asking for food donations either next to the checkouts or at the store entrance.

Good luck!

The majority of this choice is left up to your cat; however you do have some say in the matter. I think that the best litter is one that is made from natural, non-toxic ingredients. I spent some time researching cat litter when I first got a cat and my research revealed that cats tend to prefer litter that most resembles beach sand. I would look for an unscented, clumpable litter.

Contact the people you ordered it from

Clean it with salt water

In order to lessen your cat's hairballs you should look for treats that contain petrolatum, mineral oil, vegetable oil or an equivalent intestinal lubricant.

Make sure the box is in a low traffic area. Is there #2 in the box when it #1's outside of it. Does kitty get close to the box or just random place ?

Do you mean cat is throwing the litter out of the box? Sinply place a rubber mat underneath which isceasynto clean.
or is cat going outside the box? It could be more than one cat using box, or the box needs to be changed more frequently.
