Found a copy of my eternal poop scoop! by
John Doe[_2_]
I found the exact copy at Target. I suspect that is where I bought it 25
+ years and literally tons of litter ago. For two dollars. Every tiny
little feature is precisely the same, including all of the plastic
injection points. The old one has a number 2 on it, this one has a
number 4 on it, on...

The benefits of controlling humidity by
John Doe[_2_]
After over 5 years experience...
I believe controlling humidity has done much good for my cats. It is
easy enough. Buy a couple of dirt cheap humidity sensors from the local
megastore (multiple meters provides more accuracy). Then use your air
conditioner, maybe in combination with an...

For those of you with Indoor Cats by
Peter W.[_2_]
Now that the warm weather has come to the northern hemisphere, it is important for those indoor cat people to understand a few truisms that many would like to deny:
a) Mosquito-borne Parasites, Diseases & Viruses: parasites such as heartworm, viruses such as West Nile and diseases such as Horse...

Another method for feeding dry food by
John Doe[_2_]
One of my cats mainly gets Purina Pro plan dry after it is placed in
a zipper sandwich bag, filled with 50% water, sealed, and let
saturate before refrigerating. Take some practice to get the mixture
correct. Been doing that for 7+ years.
About a year ago, I discovered another method that is...

My cat Vas'ka (17 years old, neutered male), refuses to take any food offered to him by now, but is terribly hungry and keep asking for food. We tried regular dry food, canned food, baby food, tuna for humans, all kind of treat, high caloric jell in tube, raw chicken cut into tiny pieces, tried to...

Beware of cat on window air-conditioners by
John Doe[_2_]
Beware of cat on window air-conditioners.
This might not apply to anyone here, not suggesting it is
anything but an unfortunate rare occurrence. But just in case...
My neutered outside feral attempted to jump from the window AC
unit onto her nearby covered platform (with a heating pad)....

Full Circuit on Male Cat Blockages by
Peter W.
Do you all remember when male cats were supposed to be neutered as soon as possible as there was "No effect on future urinary problems"? And everyone looked down on people delaying neutering to allow male cats to mature?
Not so much any more. Our 4-year, 6-month old Maine Coon mix went in for...

For the Holidays by
Peter W.
No self-respecting cat will eat a toxic plant. The only way this would happen is if they already were on a restricted/inadequate diet exceedingly low in roughage. Poinsettias may be toxic, but not sufficiently toxic to be dangerous.
However, Lilies of any kind, and anything in the lily family are...

Litter Robot 3 "open-air" by
John Doe[_2_]
Bought one. Not sure about prior models, but it is okay. Doubt I
would have liked the preceding models' small openings. With the
current model you can easily wipe off the inside, so you can
remove the shield, giving them a little more room inside.
Mine slightly bobs up and down as it cycles. I...

Beware of bully cats by
John Doe[_2_]
They can destroy your other cats' lives.
My best method so far for coping... Make a small closed belt
perhaps 4 inches in diameter. Very easy to do with
belt/strapping material and hot melt glue. It must be just
the right size. You slip it over their head and pull one of
their legs, paw...

Cat Ass Trophy by
Peter W.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cslhtgas3dcl1oi/Cat%20Ass%20Trophy.jpg?dl=0
Our young guy, Seamus, caught a young squirrel out in the dog/cat yard (cat-proof fencing). He ate most of it, but saved a trophy.
Just doing what every cat wishes it could do.

Singing to cats by
John Doe[_2_]
I sing badly, but...
After 10 years of singing to my hard-core feral, it is finally
coming out to me.
Also... Singing works with strays. You can see them relax
immediately when you start singing to them.
Not talking about a ballad, just a few words repeated over and
over again. Monotone, does...

Hard-core feral softening up after 10 years by
John Doe[_2_]
Never say never. After 10 long years, my hard-core feral appears
to be softening up to me. Early on, I began singing (badly) to
her because it visibly relaxed her. Over the last month or so,
she has started coming around me while I am in my computer
chair. I can usually gently grab her tail as...

John Doe by
[email protected][_2_]
Hmmmm… I have come to doubt this individual’s understanding of what a “Feral” cat actually is. There are, typically four types of cats seen in outdoor settings, broad brush:
a) Housecats that are allowed outdoors – common enough. In some areas, outdoor access is a requirement to...

Question by
Mack A. Damia[_2_]
Say, what are you all doing in here flaming one another? This group
is dedicated to the love of cats.
Do try to remember that and take your sniping somewhere else. Pookie
doesn't mind so much as she's a fighter, but Bubba is quite the
sensitive one. She is still very nervous and wary over...

Filter fan makes litter duty easy by
John Doe[_2_]
My filter fan broke. Before, I would pick it up and take it into
the closet where there big litter pale is. Put the filter fan on
high, scooped, and then sprayed some bleach into the clump
container before tying it up.
I knew the filter fan drew all of the dust away, but I did not
realize how...
