Hi, does anyone compost their kitty litter?
Here in Australia plastic bags will soon stop be given out for free at the supermarket checkout, which is a win for the environment but made me realise how many our household goes through in using them to chuck out kitty litter.
We use Applaws Cat...
Forgot to add that there's never bloodshed, just a lot of noise! I wonder if because Cutie (Cat 2 - have no idea why I'm using the names interchangeably, sorry!) was a bottle baby and missed out on some socialising with her siblings and mumma that's why she reacts in such an extreme way.
Thanks for your reply Jen, I appreciate it. Cat 1 (Ed) is five years old and Cat 2 (Cutie) is three years old.
I haven't heard of calming collars, I'll look them up.
The problem with separating them at night is that Cat 2 is very vocal when she's separated from Cat 1 as well - she makes these...
Hi, here's a question for those with multi-cat households - how often do your cats fight? Daily? Hourly? Once in a blue moon? Never?
My two cats fight EVERY SINGLE DAY, usually 3-4 times a day. It's really starting to wear me down. This is our situation - I hope someone can help offer advice...
Hello, have you considered fostering to see how Friend goes?
We adopted our second cat after "foster failing" :)
We were convinced by the rescue group that it's better to have two cats instead of one, but honestly I now think they said that to ease the pressure on them and get us to adopt. In...
Hi everyone, just wanted to give an update. We did end up using the old bird aviary as a place to put our mostly indoor cats for when they want 'outdoor' time.
We swept it out, hung up dried catnip, added a pot of fresh catnip growing, put in some toys like a tunnel and some bouncy balls etc...
Welcome to the world of cat ownership :wave3: It's a good time to invest in shares in lint rollers...
Are you in a warmer climate? My cats shed like crazy at this time of year (summer in Australia).
I use the Furminator on my boy - he doesn't like it though and only permits me to brush him...
Good job on creating the 'cat garden' - that sounds awesome and will allow her to munch on some greens if she wants to.
When one of my cats was a kitten he loved steamed broccoli and peas - he went off them when he got older so now he just eats canned cat food and biscuits. No idea why he liked...
Thanks for the reply - we have so much catnip in the garden at the moment that I was thinking of transplanting it into a new tray and putting it in there. I think they'd be fine without us (in fact I think part of them trying to go outside is to get away from us!) for a short time but I'd have...
It's interesting hearing everyone's arrangements. I agree, there is a lot of judgement based on whether you let your cat outdoors, but there is as well for keeping your cat indoors. I live in Australia and I've lost count of the amount of times I've been told that it's "cruel" and "unnatural" to...
My partner and I recently moved to a new rental house which has a big yard with an old bird aviary out back. My two cats are mainly indoors, but they do like their outside time. I'm hesistant to let them roam without supervision (detailed over here on this thread: Do You Have An Indoor Or...
