    do we potty train our kitties?

    Works like a charm, have used it with feral cats and they learn the box immediately with this litter.  Don't get the additive, for a big problem like you have you need the actual litter.  Get the litter and fill the box with it, and make sure you have thoroughly cleaned the house where she has...

    do we potty train our kitties?

    Buy a bag of Cat Attract litter, and fill litter box with this, and only this.  Keep the litter box meticulously clean, scoop at LEAST twice a day. And make SURE anywhere the cat may have gone before is cleaned completely, no residue or scent left. Is this something new or has this been going...

    How to keep cat out of a wide open living room ?

    Smoosh some catnip into a couple of those cardboard scratchers described by @jcat  above to get her to try it, and that should do it, she'll get over the rug thing eventually if she has a good alternative. Part of living with a cat, though, really; pretty much everything you do is going to be...

    Breakaway collars...

    Never put a non-breakaway type collar on a cat, way too risky.  My Charli, albeit indoor kitty, will not keep a collar on, no way no how.  Since she was a baby, when we tried to keep a collar on her with a little bell, she took them off.  Not only would she take them off, but they were no where...

    Are my cats fighting? Uploaded video...

    That's what I was thinking, as my Charli and my two kittens had some smacking around going on until they got to know what each other was all about.  It wasn't fighting, it was kind of playing with a little edge, like your video and what you are seeing.  I initially was intervening, then realized...

    Are my cats fighting? Uploaded video...

    Nah, it's just a little rough play.  Actual fighting would be very noisy, they would be very vocal, growling and the like, this is more slapping around.  How long have they been together?  I know you said you had the one for a while, and this is the first time with two, so just wondering how...

    Obsessing over poo?

    I didn't try the Stella and Chewy's yet, but I will.  I wanted to cut back the potatoes without trying anything new, just to be sure.   She has had a FEW a day, as opposed to TOO MANY a day, and I'm sure that's what it was. Charli is a talkative girl, and she loves talking to her daddy...she...

    Domestic Shorthair, like my Charli! Specifically, black and white bicolor domestic shorthair.

    Obsessing over poo?

    @LisaHE  I have to blame the potatoes!  There have been ZERO issues since, and the only thing that I changed was that.

    Rosie and Maggie, feral no more!

    The transformation has been pretty amazing.  I've dealt with feral kittens before, but these two were pretty extreme when they were first caught, more so than previous ones. Maggie was caught first, and gave a serious bite to my hubby.  Rosie was caught the next day, she was so much smaller...

    Some of you may remember I trapped two feral kittens December 16th.  This is a picture of Rosie and Maggie....Rosie is the tummy up kitten. They were sleeping on my lap last night.
