Thank you. They say definitely no other changes. One cat may have started it and the other then felt compelled? Do cats typically feel compelled to urinate or mark over another cat's scent?
I just asked about letting them out for a few minutes. He said the cats just stand there and refuse to go...
My son and his wife have 2 male cats, 4 years old. They've been in their house for about a year, no prior problems. Two weeks ago, they found out they were pregnant with their first child AND the cats starting peeing outside their litterboxes. Over the course of 2 weeks, the cats have entirely...
My 17 yr old cat recently started scooching his butt on the carpet after using the litter box to defecate. I've read that could indicate worms or impacted anal glands. He only does it once every few weeks. Wouldn't he be scooching more often if it were one of those problems? AND, btw, can an...
We did try the Feliways, but he seems immune to it, lol. I haven't heard of scented stones. Where do you get them and what kind of scents are they? Thank you for your reply!
Very grateful for this site and the warnings about essential oils!
I will give the orange peels a try and maybe proceed on to the apple cider vinegar if needed.
I appreciate all the links, too. Thank you for taking the time to respond!
I'm so glad I asked about the essential oils before using them! It's crazy that it was recommended in several articles I read. I will work on redirecting him when I am home. He DOES love his fishing pole toy!
Very good to know about the essential oils! The rocks were what they called river rocks at Home Depot, but the little stinker was somehow able to get in there and dig in the dirt. I feel like I need something heavier so am going to check around. Thank you for taking the time to respond!
Has anyone had any luck with using essential oils to keep their cats out of their house plants? We have a new kitten who likes to dig in the dirt. I read that citrus and peppermint can be repellants. We've tried placing rocks over the soil, sticky tape, pinecones, seashells, tin foil, etc. to no...
Lol about your other cats learning bad habits from the kitty! Sounds like they get a lot of exercise at your house! You're right, if my husband can't get over it, we'll just have to keep them out of the kitchen. My friend (a dog person) suggested a baby gate. She freaked out when I told her he...
The carpet-protector nub side up is genius!!! Thanks so much...going to try to find some today. Also, I guess we have a lot to learn about disciplining cats. Our first one never gave us any reason to have to discipline her!
Thank you, nese! Lol about your other cats learning this from the kitty. Sounds like they get their exercise what with the cabinet and refrigerator jumping as well! We'll try the foil and double-sided tape and rewarding good behavior. If that doesn't work and my husband can't get over it, I...
