One of my cats chews so much sometimes I wonder if she's part rodent. Taste deterrents have no effect on her. Fortunately she doesn't eat anything non food, she just likes to chew. She's chewed holes in our crocs, plastic toys, doorstops, shower hoses, cables, and now the flexible toilet...

I don't know if this is any help, I've never used human probiotics for my cats, but the rescue I adopted one of our cats from recommended Purina's FortiFlora feline probiotic for him and it really helped firm up his stools. For an IBD cat it's probably best to check with your vet first, though.

While doing some research trying to budget for cat food, I found this handy calorie requirement and feeding calculator today, and am sharing it here in case it might be helpful. Calorie Requirement Calculator

Yes, he's microchipped and wears a tag, that's really important. We try our best to keep him in, but he's a very determined escape artist. When he does get out, we follow him and catch him and bring him back inside. It's really hard to see him to catch him if he darts out the door at night...

One of our current cats loves going out on a leash, and I've had a handful of others over the years that did well with it too. I like the Lupine cat harnesses, they're a secure style and fit my adult cats better, because the part that goes on their back between the collar and the abdominal piece...

Every cat is different, but one of ours keeps himself entertained with a Cat Dancer. It's a really simple looking toy, but he's crazy about it, and when no one's playing with him with it, he'll take one end in his mouth and spin around trying to catch it as it spins around with him. He's 2...

Looking for a good safety breakaway collar and/or tag to make a mostly black escape artist easier to see and catch if he tries to get outside at night. He really scared us when he darted out the front door and into the street last night! We're trying to make sure he's put in a closed room...

Hi fellow cat lovers, I'm looking for floor covering ideas. We currently have EVA foam puzzle tiles in the middle of our living room floor, to make a softer place to sit down and play or exercise on. Unfortunately, one of our cats is tearing off and ingesting pieces, so they have to go. We...

Hi! One of my cats has an appetite for plastic, and is by far the most destructive chewer I've ever known. Thankfully I don't think she swallows it, but she chews on everything plastic. I keep charging cords and earphones out of reach or she'll sneak up and sever them the moment I'm not...

Thank you!

Oops, the link doesn't work for me. Can you please tell me what it's called, and where you get it? :-)

Thank you! If I get a batter charger and rechargeable batteries, that should work fine. One of my cats has an insatiable appetite for electrical cords.

Has anyone tried a cordless water fountain? Have you found one you are happy with? Thoughts? Recommendations? (I'm in the US) Thanks in advance!

I've had cats all my life but have never had trouble with any of them chewing or eating foreign objects until our current two came along. Our female chews and destroys cords, cables, and Crocs, but doesn't swallow them. I'm ordering cable covers, because bitter pet deterrent doesn't work for...

One of our 2 cats digs around and in the water bowl before drinking. I know that's pretty common, we just keep the floor clean and change the water frequently to keep it clean. The problem is that she also will seek out a towel, washcloth, or even an item of clothing and put it in the water...

4, but with a view of the mountains!

Ugh, I had a cat do this before. I put a waterproof tarp on my bed while trying to solve the problem; it was helpful because it protected the bed, and if she peed on it she got herself wet, which was a deterrent. Ditto the zippered waterproof mattress cover and enzyme cleaner. Has cat been...

Our 9 month old kitten is the fastest, most fearless, most determined escape artist I have ever known. Up until last month, he had tried once or twice to go outside to explore, but it was pretty easy to prevent him from getting out. Then a few weeks ago he walked out the door while my daughter...

Teething item recommendations? Our 6 month old kitten is chewing like mad. Our now-adult cat confined herself to destroying our Crocs and all my phone cords at this age (I just had to learn to keep all phone and earphone cords out of reach), but this kitty chews whatever strikes his fancy...

My old cats never bothered with the tree lights, but I'm wondering if our 5 month old kitten might be likely to try to chew light cords/strands on the tree. I've read the Cats and Christmas article but didn't see any mention of lights.
