    How to discourage cat from resting in a certain spot

    Thanks. I meant that the top of the tape would likely quickly become covered in cat hair and lose it's tack. We've got a few other cats. ;) He does have a few nice beds and other hangouts he's used for years. He still uses those, but also spends hours every day at this new problematic spot.

    How to discourage cat from resting in a certain spot

    Thanks. Double-sided tape might work. I would likely have to replace it very frequently though. I was hoping for something that would require less maintenance. I imagine a week or two would do the trick. But I will give it a try.

    How to discourage cat from resting in a certain spot

    Is there any gentle way to discourage my indoor cat from sitting on a specific area of the floor? The area is about 1m x 1m (3' x 3') and the floor is wood. I was thinking of somehow making that spot a bit less comfortable to be on, but haven't been able to come up with a practical way to do...

    Adopting Cats With Elderly Blind Dog In House

    Our beloved cat, Sasha, recently died at age 14 and we are considering adopting 1 or 2 new cats from the same rescue. We are still very grief-stricken, but would always want a cat in our lives and are hopeful that a new family member may help us through this difficult time. We also have an...

    Sasha, My Best Friend

    Thank you so much, boney girl dad. I looked at your photos of Boney Girl and Xena and they really touched my heart. They were beautiful and I could sense the love you have for them. We are likely going to adopt 1 or 2 rescue cats soon from the same place we got Sasha. I am very nervous about...

    Sasha, My Best Friend

    Thank you les26. Unfortunately, I tried Omega3+D3 for a very long time. I researched and tried every nutritional supplement that could potentially help, but no luck. There really isn't anything with any credibility that I haven't tried at this point, and I keep track of the latest developments...

    Sasha, My Best Friend

    Thank you. You are completely correct, mightyboosh. Losing my previous cat many years ago was utterly devastating, but I lived through the pain and somehow went on. My depression now is crippling, however, and when I say my cat was all I had and that he was the only thing that could help me deal...

    Sasha, My Best Friend

    I do appreciate all of you who have helped, but I don't think I am going to get over this. I feel like something has permanently broken inside of me. I don't care about anything anymore. I have lost before, but I was already in so much pain for so long, and this has just put me over the edge...

    Sasha, My Best Friend

    Thank you again everyone. I have been reading your posts over and over because they are helping me tremendously. I am a 55-year-old man and have lost almost all my family to illness. I have even a cat that was incredibly close to me before. But I have never come close to crying as much as I...

    Sasha, My Best Friend

    I don't know how to handle my grief and pain. Yesterday evening, we were actually talking about how lucky we were that our 14-year old Turkish Angora Sasha was in such amazing health. He seemed virtually identical to the day we got him 12 years ago. He was still jumping up on furniture, playful...

    SOS: Need Rescue in Montreal, Canada

    I would definitely do that if I could prove anything but I can't. I don't even know the person or his address. The only practical solution I can think of is to provide the person with an easy alternative, so that he can contact them. I have been doing nothing but looking for a rescue or TNR...

    SOS: Need Rescue in Montreal, Canada

    I have strong reason to believe that a person in Montreal is intending to kill a cat that is coming into his backyard. He has been shooting it with air rifles, and is now discussing poisoning it and other drastic measures. I would like to offer him an alternative, but I have been unable to find...
