@LTS3 That article was exactly what I needed, thank you! It addressed a lot of the challenges we face with all three of the pets, but will be particularly helpful with the cat. I love the 4 pets take a break idea, and thank you both for tips on safe play. Oscar loves to play and I can't believe...

Hi! I've had my rambunctious sweet boy Oscar for 7 years now! And he's never met a stranger. He loves showing off for all animal and people visitors and is a self declared house greeter.... except when it comes to my boyfriend's three year old. He's never been around young children before and he...

Thanks for the ideas on the PDZ. I currently add baking soda to the pellet litter every week but might investigate the horse odor control. I scoop daily, add new litter a couple times a week and do a full change once a week. The litter box is in my apartment bedroom closet where I used to live...

I would see if you can borrow a wire dog crate, like a medium sized one. That way you can fit a small litter pan with a little bit of litter in there with the cat. You don't want to travel 7 hours and find out first thing your cat needs a bath bc it peed on itself in a normal cat carrier...

Hi there,  So I have been using TSC equine pine pellet bedding for cat litter because it's soo cheap and is the same thing as equisicat pellet litter only less than half the price. I've been thinking of switching back to tidy cats/clay litter even though it's more expensive and less eco...

I was helping transport an abandoned or lost siamese to a cat rescue over the weekend. It was in my bathroom just a few hours with its own litter box and food bowl. Later that night when I took it to the foster home drop off, I came home and my bathroom door must not have been latched completely...

;) Not mine, found it one a facebook cat rescue page. Just something silly. But really. Y'all know this is how it goes LOL

I've never had direct experience with Feliway but my sister in law swears by it for her over anxious cat that it helps her adjust to new apartments/new pets when they move or when they got new pets. It'd be worth a shot! This may or may not work for you, she may be too upset to be distracted...

That makes so much sense! I never thought about their learning styles being different because their social structures are different. That's a good thought to keep in mind :)

@kittensmom  I totally understand cats are intelligent creatures, but I also understand that their learning curve is wired differently from dogs. All mammals are similar in that no matter if we are dogs or elephants or people, praise and reward are motivators for good behavior. But the way dogs...

I have two dogs and two cats. If one dog tries to hog the treats/food, I can tell him to "sit" and "wait" so the less forward dog can get his share. My female cat is the youngest of the bunch, and she is like a tiny land shark who steals food not only from the other cat, but will lay by the...

Thanks for the links- might try mixing canned food, tuna juice and the all meat baby food for a calorie punch. I don't think stopping free feed would be super successful. The dogs are also free fed (not on purpose they are just nibblers) and if the cat bowl empty chubby mc chunkerson moves right...

Show me your cats getting caught in the act being bad! I had been blaming the dogs for months about the tipped trash can, when yesterday this happened...Bad cats!
