Currently valued at $88 million and chalking up growth of at least 45% annually, the pet health insurance market clearly is a diamond in the rough; there are more than 136 million dogs and cats in this country-but less than 1% of them have insurance (versus 14% of dogs and 5% of cats in the U.K.).

Have you ever wondered who invents the different scoopable cat litters? Well I have to tell you that not all cat litters are created equally. I have always used one brand of cat litter for years and never have had anyone smell a litter box when they visit. I use Scoop Away. Trying to save a penny did not pay off for me a few months ago.

Having three cats is rough on the budget since you need litter every week and food every three weeks. One way I have managed to save money on cat litter is by cleaning the litter box once in the morning and once at bedtime. This has helped keep the litter in the box where it belongs.

Have you ever wondered what is in those cat toys that make cats go nuts? It is catnip and it is like a high for cats.
