    I have 1 super picky cat when it comes to his litter. Hoping the homemade kind meets his satisfaction so I can compost cat waste along with dog waste.

    The base for my dad's feeding tube food either comes in tetrapaks or hard plastic bottles. Which is better? Tetrapaks are unrecyclable, but how much is plastic actually recycled in Evansville?
