There are so many people who have animals that feel healing effects from them, and it seems the animals have a certain link to the person. I personally am a cat person, and I know my cats seems to know when I’m hurting and will curl up in those spots and provide heat; it’s hard to explain unless you’ve experienced it.
On the flip side, those of us with severe fibromyalgia know that animals also come with needs. Dogs need walking, and cats have litter boxes. That adds a problem for those of us who are unable to do some of those tasks. My fibro comes with a handy dandy scent issue. I HATE cleaning the litter box. However, that smell is something I cannot handle.
So, we had the box in the basement and my husband would clean up litter box. Problem solved. Until my daughter moved in. Into the basement. The litter box that moved to the upstairs bathroom; at that point my husband decided that the cat was no longer his duty, (how that was decided I still don’t understand), and I ended up with litter duty.
Mama was very unhappy. I went through many boxes of baking soda, different litter, spray deodorant… It got to the point no one would go in the bathroom because of all the smells!
Then I found Tidy Cat. It has tiny crystals and it’s for multiple cats even though I only have one. It’s been a miracle! I can go 2 to 3 days without cleaning the box, and when I do it so quick and easy and there’s nothing broken apart or left behind to stink.
So if you are a cat person, and you do have this problem, this may be your solution.
