You can try running them through PVC pipe or thick plastic tubing. A little bitter apple spray to discourage interest is also helpful. Provide lots of things that are ok to chew.
I don’t know if her vision is the issue. I have a cat who has been blind the entire 3 years I’ve had her and finding the litter boxes has not been an issue. It may be a mobility issue because of her age - getting in and out of the box.
I’m glad the vet believes it is ok. My girl had both of her eyes removed but they were healed before she came to live with me. Thank you for taking this baby in.
i use a sitter when I travel. She comes twice a day. I also get pictures and a “report card”. Find someone you are comfortable with. Your vet may have a tech that provides this kind of service.
Sometimes a cat doesn’t recognize a small dog as a different species and acts as though they are meeting another cat. Be sure you keep the cat’s nails clipped so the cat doesn’t accidentally hurt the dog and make the situation worse. Provide the cat with high spaces and you may need to keep a...
Thank you for helping her. When I adopted Helen and Jack (Jack had one eye, Helen none) I kept them in their own room for about a month. It helped Helen that she had her sibling with her I’m sure. I tried to block off behind shelves where she could get stuck. I also removed any objects for...
I leave wet out after “meal time” so I guess I free feed it. I usually travel often and one of my cats would be nervous eating while the sitter is there so I just got into the habit all the time. It’s never been a problem.
I also have one with both eyes removed and one with one eye removed. Their surgery was prior to my adopting them but here’s a picture of them recently.
I feed three wet meals a day but also have a pet sitter only twice a day when I travel. I have the sitter feed larger portions each time to compensate but I don’t have one that monopolizes the wet food.
My cats (at the moment I have multiple but have also traveled when I only had one) do better at home. My sitter comes twice a day and I do usually feed them three times a day when I’m home. I just have the sitter increase the quantity of the feeding when they are only fed twice a day.
That’s a really big size difference between nine months and nine weeks. Maybe you could try a heavy duty play session with him before you have them together to lessen his intensity. I wouldn’t go right from the play session to the together time in case he’s still wired, but maybe a half hour later.
I have left mine for three weeks but I have multiple cats so they are not completely alone. I have a sitter come twice a day. She stays about 45 minutes each time. She turns on the radio for her morning visit so there are voices, music during the day. Usually my out of town trips are limited to...
