Cat litter isnt just for cats poop

Other uses for Cat Litter

Sneaker deodorizer
If your athletic shoes reek, fill a couple of old socks with scented cat litter, tie them shut, and place them in the sneakers overnight. Repeat if necessary until the sneakers are stink-free.


Add traction on ice
Keep a bag of cat litter in the trunk of your car. Use it to add traction when you're stuck in ice or snow.


Prevent grease fires
Don't let a grease fire spoil your next barbecue. Pour a layer of cat litter into the bottom of your grill for worry-free outdoor cooking.


Get rid of that musty smell when you open the closet door. Just place a shallow box filled with cat litter in each musty closet or room. Cat litter works great as a deodorant.


Preserve flowers
The fragrance and beauty of freshly cut flowers is such a fleeting thing. You can't save the smell, but you can preserve their beauty by drying your flowers on a bed of cat litter in an airtight container for 7-10 days.


Remove foul stench
Just because your garbage cans hold garbage doesn't mean they have to smell disgusting. Sprinkle some cat litter into the bottom of garbage cans to keep them smelling fresh. Change the litter after a week or so or when it becomes damp. If you have a baby in the house, use cat litter the same way to freshen diaper pails.


Keep tents must-free
Keep tents and sleeping bags fresh smelling and free of must when not in use. Pour cat litter into an old sock, tie the end, and store inside the bag or tent.


Repel moles
Moles may hate the smell of soiled cat litter even more than you do. Pour some down their tunnels to send them scurrying to find new homes.


Make grease spots disappears
Get rid of ugly grease and oil spots in your driveway or on your garage floor. Simply cover them with cat litter. If the spots are fresh, the litter will soak up most of the oil right away. To remove old stains, pour some paint thinner on the stain before tossing on the cat litter. Wait 12 hours and then sweep clean.

Look at that rock!!!


A diamond is the hardest natural substance on earth

A diamond is 58 times harder than the next hardest mineral on earth, corundum, from which rubies and sapphires are formed.


A green diamond is the rarest. It is not the rarest gemstone, however. That title goes to a pure red ruby.

Tony the tiger says ... There grrrreat !




Everyone recognises the tiger from its striped coat, but few people know these stripes extend through to the skin. The skin of the white tiger is a bluish color, also complete with stripes.
( I know its not a tiger but gives you an idea of what it looks like)

The Sumatran tiger has the most stripes while the Amur (Siberian) has the fewest, but on average there are 100-150 stripes per animal. The Amur tiger's stripes are wider and lighter in colour than those of the other subspecies.

The striping on a tiger's forehead is often referred to by the Chinese as the mark of 'wang'or'king'.
