cat sensitivity/awareness by John Doe
I have two cats, Kiki is my older female, Kitty is my younger larger male. Among lots of other things to climb on, Kiki has a (single occupant) loft way up high. Maybe once a day she climbs up their for a nap. When Kiki is about two thirds of the way up there, she usually pauses to look out the...

compressed/canned air by John Doe
Another very strong deterrent, used responsibly of course. Not suggesting there are many (if any) good uses, just that it makes a serious impression.

Seven week old kitten's using 100+ quart Sterilite box for litter box by John Doe
The sides are pretty tall, but they can jump. Seems they already prefer the huge 100+ quart Sterilite box for a litter box. I was using one of those grocery store style maroon litter boxes (Hartz I guess). Had to clean the sides every few days. I guess that proves it stays clean not because of...

Too many stray animals by John Doe
What does your city do about stray animals? I was just told by our "dog pound" that they are short on space. My guess is that they never have enough space. Can the city put a tax on businesses/individuals that sell animals? Maybe they could dedicate that tax revenue to a catch-neuter-release...

Where to buy cat food online? (in USA, not Petco, Petsmart, or Amazon) by John Doe
Any suggestions for where to buy cat food online? In the USA, but not Petco, Petsmart, or Amazon. Thanks. If you want to know why, I want some options. Petco is cheap, but their packaging is horrible. They throw cat food in an oversized box with no packing material. Last 16 pound bag required...

How to stop too many cats/kittens from driving you insane... by John Doe
This is mainly for kittens. But my male cat enjoys chasing his tail, so it might work well for him too. Currently, he needs the exercise. I found a way to give my three kittens all the indoor exercise they can handle. Basically, it's just extending their tail 6 or 8 inches with a 1/4 inch thick...

Calico female stands on hind legs like a bear by John Doe
My calico female cat likes to stand like a bear on her hind legs. She does that when my hand is above her head, in order to but my hand with her head. Her white female kitten (not the same distinct calico markings, it's dad was a black cat) exhibited the same behavior, getting up on its hind legs...

Worst litter ever! by John Doe
I was in a hurry. The local megastore was out of my usual brand. I bought four 25 pound boxes of Fresh Step Fast Acting. If you use a bright flashlight in the litter box area, you can see how much dust there is. When I poured the new litter in there, smoke billowed out of the box. Really weird,...

Amazon, 28 pound box of litter, $10 with free shipping by John Doe
Now they are back at $11.78 per 28 pound box. That's about $1.50 more than the local megastore where there are usually beat up or out of stock. Ordered another set of four. They have the 40 pound box for a penny less per pound. Arm & Hammer Super Scoop Clumping Litter, Unscented, 28-Pound,...

Upside down packaging tape, no more chewing on electrical cords by John Doe
My first critical application of upside down packaging tape was to keep my cat off of the windowsill in a cat-hostile apartment complex. Now that I'm temporarily fostering three kittens... They start chewing on a group of electrical cords in a very small area on the floor. Put two pieces of 4...

New cat lying directly on Astroturf by John Doe
Was trying unsuccessfully to get it to lie on a small piece of Astroturf covered with a layer of paper towel. Apparently that doesn't work unless it's their hangout, like on a windowsill or in a sleeping loft. But, for the last two days, it has been lying directly on the Astroturf (a big piece...

Tartar control? by John Doe
My large male, Kitty, spent lots of time in the not so great outdoors where I guess he learned to swallow quickly as possible. He doesn't chew tartar control treats. That makes them kind of pointless, doesn't it. My small cat, Kiki, does fine with Meow Mix Drumsticks. Are there any larger than...

Put tapeworm medicine in food? by John Doe
I have a stray female cat that is terrified at the idea of being handled. So I don't handle her (and mostly avoid eye contact). The problem is she needs tapeworm medicine. Can ordinary tapeworm pills be crushed and included in her wet food? Thank you. By the way. Is it possible such a cat could...

female feral stray terrified of people by John Doe
I've been told that a stray female cat I took off of the street acts terrified of people because she was abused/brutalized/tortured. I'm wondering if maybe a feral cat, a cat that has never had human contact, also might act paranoid? She seems to be afraid of artificial light. She should be...

making dry food into wet food by John Doe
I read we aren't supposed to feed them pop-top can wet food, because of hyperthyroidism. Oh well. So I will move them to some premium dry food. But IMO dry is better if made wet first. Here is one simple method to wet dry food. .... put some dry food into a zip style plastic bag, very little at...

Any protection against mosquitoes? by John Doe
I got wind of the idea that there is a new type of Advantage stops mosquitoes from biting a cat. At first research, there's something called Advantix but that's for dogs only? Thanks.

Cats prefer to nap with company? by John Doe
Anybody else notice that cats enjoy waking up (like from a nap) to company? My feral female sometimes cries a bit when she wakes up without being near the male. -- my cats on their skyway http://www.flickr.com/photos/27532210@N04/3190773594/

Cats having problem eating new formula cat food by John Doe
I feed them moistened dry food, currently Purina Savor Pro Plan Salmon Rice. Ordering online from Petco, according to the expiration dates, seems they send very recent fresh food. Apparently Purina's formula for that cat food changed recently. My cats are having much trouble eating it. They're...

Litter box stuff by John Doe
Still using Sterilite boxes for litter boxes. Using the kind with clear and shiny smooth sides, apparently they never get dirty (or if they do, they don't stay dirty). Also using Arm & Hammer Essentials Natural cat litter. It doesn't clump very well, but it's light and genuinely dust free. One...

Wild cats by John Doe
Taking care of a neutered female outside. This morning it ate a full meal and then left. One hour later, it was back on the porch and I saw it swat at the opening to its Omega Paws litter box. Confused, I stepped out and noticed some feathers lying around. In the box, the bird was still alive...
