Litter Box Questions with Marilyn Krieger

Cat behaviorist Marilyn Krieger will be available for questions for four more days, so make sure you post yours on time!

And now to our very special cat in the spotlight: Scotty

I cam across this beautiful picture of Scotty in our June photo contest thread :

Scotty is one of two cats living with our forum member emrldsky and here’s what she posted in his name on his page -

I am a large kitty, but please don’t call me fat. I’m just big-boned (even the vet says so!). I can be sensitive, and sweet, but I often come off as hungry and irritated. I love my mom and dad a lot, but I tend to snuggle with my mom more. Dad is ok with that.

More about Scotty on his cat page here.

I really do think his personality shines right through this lovely picture, doesn’t it? Here’s what his Meowmy says about him -

This is Popsie. I adopted him as a kitten and he will be turning 17 in a few weeks. He is a very loving cat, loves to get scritches and give bunts. He is a mommas boy to the max. His favorite thing to play with is anything string like that I drag around the house. He also likes to get into a lot of mischief. I spoil him rotten everyday.

He’s not just beautiful though. This is what ShopCat tells us about him on his cat page -

A soft spoken articulate little gentleman, he is not only well dressed, but very sociable & well versed! He likes to wait for me to get home from work so he can tell me about his day, & likes his “quality time with Mom” on the couch later on at night while watching TV. Not only is he tall dark & handsome, he is a sweet, affectionate patient kind of guy who loves his Mom! What else can a girl ask for?

Get your cat into the Spotlight here – send me a clear, good quality pictures, along with a description to anne@thecatsite.com with the words “cat in the spotlight” in the subject line and have your furbaby featured on the blog!

This may be a good time for a seasonal anti-flea treatment. In fact, I had the pleasure of applying Frontline on all three resident felines in our home this week, so we’re all ready for Summer to kick in! If you’re not sure if you should de-flea your own crew, it might be time to get back to our article about Cat Fleas for some more information, and maybe a quick read through the shopping guide relating to Anti-Flea Products as well. It’s important to use only vet-approved products to treat your cat with and avoid OTC products which could be toxic for cats.

Cat in the Spotlight #2 – Mario!

Gorgeous Mario belongs to one of our long-time members known as Bella713. This sweet boy is a colorpoint longhair, with perhaps some Himalayan and maybe even some Ragdoll in him.

Here’s some more about Mario, right out of his own cat page -

Mario is a Flamepoint Himalayan, possible Ragdoll Mix. He is so sweet, and it’s funny but he walks fast to every place he goes LOL He is in love with Lucia and grooms her often till she gets sick of it. He has been with us 5 months now and is getting more affectionate everyday and we adore him!

Get a cat page for your own cat and I’ll be glad to feature him or her in a future “In the Spotlight” here on the blog! Just join us at the forums and you can have a free cat page for each one of your cats too.
