My Cat Is Turning GREEN!

I'm a big supporter of consumerism. Why not? After all, the ultimate purpose of earning money is to spend them. It's not like they'll be useful in your after life. Maybe to bribe your way into Heaven?

I honestly think I'll make a good sample for marketing research. Many a times, I've seen commercials and subsequently purchase the products.

Example 1: Sunday morning, I was waiting for the dim sum restaurant to open to go have some dim sum. I saw KFC commercial while mindlessly watching TV while waiting for the Chinese restaurant to open. Guess what? 30 mins later hubby was in his car driving to get KFC.

Example 2: I purchased some Extreme deodorant products for Hubby upon seeing the commercial. By the way, Hubby was very impressed with their extreme action. Whether they'll cause cancer in a long run, that's another story for another day.

So you see what I mean? You want to do marketing researching, I'm your gal. I seek out new products when I go to Target. And when I see them, I have to purchase them. (Hubby is the exact opposite. He discovers something that works, his theory is, "Why try anything else when I know this works?" What a boring man? :D)

So I went to get kitty litter today and discovered this new product:



Of course I'll have to try it out. I dumped out all the old litter in the house (also an effort to try and see if I can find out what my Kitty is allergic to) and put in this new one. Shortly thereafter, our new kitty went to use the litter box. Shortly thereafter, I discovered green stuff on his hair next to his butt! :O Mind you, he's a long hair kitty. Many a times he has "stuff" stuck to his fur after he used the litter box.

I thought "uh oh, not again (having "stuff" stuck to his fur)," but I couldn't figure out where the greenness come from. Since green is my favorite color, half of his toys are green. My first (and only) thought was that perhaps he ingested some green fur from the toys and was now pooping them out. Then I tried to clean him with kitty bath wipes (thanks to whoever invented them, true savior for lovers of long hair cats) but the greenness won't come off. And I just could not figure out why his POOP was green!!

Since he refused to let me continue examining his fur, I figured I'll dig out his poop to have a closer look... It was then when I realized the greenness was from the LITTER itself!! He inevitably wet himself a bit when he went... and the fur around his... thingie turned GREEN!!

Pros: the litter smells good. Smells like bubble gum. Let's give it a few days and see how much my cat is going to turn GREEN!
