So is it time yet? Do share if so... Thanks for taking in the cat. She is loved and lucky. And her Xmas gift bag (not plastic!) is a few days late, but luckily she's not good with dates.

There are so many things out there that can be 're-purposed'. And thank you for making us aware of Hope Chest, I have many friends that have been in the struggle of the beast and I will be sure to tell them about that site. Namaste.

I've been doing the same thing and it is exhilarating. I make dates with a friend, and on the appointed date she cleans out her closet in Los Angeles while I clean mine out in Oakland. Also recently discovered The Freecycle. Network www.freecycle.org check it out. Its fantastic. As a moving hazard warning in your red coat...what happens when you back up? Love this.

I use a corn-based litter that they say can be flushed. So far, so good. Before that I used the plastic bags that the Sunday NY Times comes in, at least they had more than one use. Maybe sturdy paper bags work too, but when you're using canvas, etc. I guess you have to purchase them. Thanks for a great blog!
