The butterfly harnesses arrived yesterday, and I love them! The cats hated having the old harnesses over their heads, but the butterfly ones have a Velcro fastening. They fit so well and I feel much more confident that they are not going to slip out the harness. Both cats love the garden. They...

Well it seems that the butterfly harnesses are going to take a long time to arrive so we ordered some cheaper harnesses to begin training while we waited for the better ones. The harnesses arrived on Friday, and Enya took to wearing hers really well (she wore a recovery suit after her spray so...

I love Enya’s soft, wobbly belly :heartshape:

I love it when they sleep like this :loveeyes:

Thank you for your tips and the article, emu the cat, both were super helpful. I will let you know how we get on :)

Unfortunately cats don’t associate being told off with their bad behaviour, as to them their behaviour isn’t meant to be bad. All scolding does is damage the bond between human and cat. That said what’s done is done and I’m sure that with simple gestures your cat can be reassured that your room...

I have seen the tip about carrying the cat in and out and am definitely going to try it. I’m willing to try anything that helps prevent problems! It’s good to be reminded that cats love routine too. Sometimes keeping to a routine is a bit difficult in a hectic house hold. However once the cats...

After much consideration, and after reading the attached article, I have purchased 2 butterfly harnesses. I believe having supervised access to the outside will add a great deal of enrichment to our cats lives. My big worry is that the cats will want to go out more than we can take them and...

Thank you for your replay rubysmama! I haven’t seen that article, but I will be sure to read it.

Hi all, Our 2 cats are just over 6 months old and I am wondering whether now is the right time to harness train them. I believe that they would get considerable enjoyment and stimulation from going outside, but am worried that once they have had the opportunity to go out they will not be...

Maybe your boyfriend coming home is her cue that it’s playtime. Cats are generally more active at dawn and dusk and these are certainly the times of day when our two go wild. I have found that cats definitely have a preference when it comes to toys, our kittens like Da Bird style wands and toys...

Our 6 month old kitten gets a bit carried away with play and has ended up biting us on occasion, and he’s big enough to really hurt now. We keep a kickeroo on hand to distract him, then encourage him to kick and bite that instead of our hand. It has been quite successful.

Kittens need a lot of play time, and maybe your kitten has chosen your boyfriend to be her play buddy. I’m sure she would appreciate lots of interactive play with wand style toys. If she were still with her litter mates she would be playing with them, but now it’s your boyfriend and your job...

Thank you so much. We did a lot of research before hand and know bengals can be a handful, I hope we can handle them! So far they have been full on, as we expected, but nothing that we can’t cope with. We’ve got two daughters so hopefully we have lots of experience of dealing with big...

They are absolute nightmares already, but that’s what I love about them, I never know what I’m going to find them doing next, lol. Mika LOVES watching the toilet flush, and I have experienced his claws a few times when he has got a bit overexcited. Enya is more gentle, so far. Boy when they play...

We’ve got some siftin litter boxes and find them really easy to use. We use them with a wood based clumping litter, so I guess that would be lighter than sand. I don’t know if you could gradually change your litter over to something lighter? We also keep the sift section in the middle of the 2...

Lol, I know exactly what you mean!

Thank you @Silver Crazy. Your boy is beautiful too, he looks so relaxed :loveeyes:

:bliss: Got to do something to work off all this food I’m eating, but I am self isolating, so running around the house like a mad woman it is.

For some reason our kitties like to scatter their litter, EVERYWHERE! They cannot walk past a clean tray without getting in and making a few adjustments. This means that litter is constantly been tracked around the whole house, despite my constant sweeping. Of course I would normally be at work...
