Have cats? You'll thank me for telling you about this!

I have over a dozen cats, and until my ugly neighbors who kill cats move (prayer appreciated - they're getting their house ready for sale) I have to keep them in the house...which is making me nuts! I've had many knick-knacks and vases broken, and the litter boxes - oy! I've been praying for help, and the Lord led me to two great products.
MUSEUM WAX
I was reading a cozy mystery, and a product called Museum Wax was mentioned in it. I had never heard of it before, but you know how you go to museums, and they have ridiculously expensive pieces of art on a pedestal? Ever wonder why they don't get knocked over? MUSEUM WAX! This stuff comes in a little jar. You scoop out a little bit of it, roll it into a ball to soften it, and stick it in a few places under the item you wish to secure, then press it into the place you want it Voila! It won't get knocked over, even by the friskiest kitty, and if you want to move it all you have to do is pull up on it and twist. I got it on Amazon for under $6, but you can probably find it in Lowe's. I understand it's also useful to secure items if you live in an area that's prone to earthquakes.
FELINE PINE SUBSTITUTE
Feline Pine litter is fantastic for hiding litter box odors, but it's expensive...especially if you have a large family. (It's almost $7 for a 7 pound bag.) I just felt like I should look for it on Amazon to see if it was cheaper (it wasn't) - you know, one of those little nudges to do something or go somewhere which you might get from time to time - and for some reason I started reading the reviews for it. One lady - God bless her - wrote in her review that she was going to let everyone in on a secret:
Go to your local Tractor Supply (or similar store), and get a bag of Equine Pine. (Tractor Supply sells it under their own brand name.) It's the identical product, and is used for horse bedding...and a 40 pound bag is only $5.99!
I can now afford to use it for my gang...and it'll cost less than regular clumping litter...or even clay litter!
