I play tag with my cat. It's just her and I. I have to be careful cause sometimes she either goes into full attack mode or gets scared. Tonight she got real scared, the hunched back thing, so I sat down and went back to watching tv. Hard to tell who's the "grownup" sometimes.
I use a variety of litter, mostly I scented clay, as well as the lighter versions. I put them in doggy do bags, then in an old cat littler bucket, which is in a bag and I put baking soda in the bucket to cut down on the smell. I clean out a couple times a day as I can't smell well so I do it a...
My baby used to sleep at or on my feet but now when I sleep in the living room she sleeps up on the top where she doesn't get moved around as much. In the bed she sleeps like normal around my feet.
Sorry..I came on here searching for the same answer lol! Just my two cents tho, I know Jackson Galaxy uses oils to calm cats and I've even used a tea tree oil recipie on my cat and she was fine far as I know. I diluted it to like one drop of TTO to like a cup of water. It was to discourage...
I swear my cat was doing the same thing last night. When I first got my cat I didn't know anything about cats and brought her to the vet several times and probably a couple times that I should have...it sounds like your a good mommy. Maybe some days she is just a bit more hungry like we all get...
I looked this question up as I have the same problem here! I'm disabled so money isn't like it used to be. I'm also at home more often so I can feed her smaller amounts, but I think I should space it out a bit farther, like feed her wet in the am, then later dry and then wet again. I have...
Just wanted to say...I know plants are bad for kitties...that pic was a month or so after I got her, thank God shes fine, I love my cat but had some of those plants for a year or so and having a hard time getting rid of ANY...watch The Secret Life of Plants and you'll see why lol! Some ARE going...
I don't rotate that much, but I think its a good idea! She likes most Friskies pate canned, what I feed her most of the time, and is eating Iams dry food, and starting on Wellness dry. She used to like Iams wet food but doesn't seem to like it aymore. I give her a different Friskies canned food...
Looks like you got a bunch of replies, which is good! I brought mine in slowly over a week or two period. It took us both a lot of adjusting, but really calmed her down, not to mention much less bird feathers haha...I started bringing her in before night time, as she had a door she could come...
Thanks all! I never thought of seeing how much I actually spend on the cat stuff, I'll have to check and compare prices, but I'm sure even if I can switch ocasionally its probably better than Friskies canned and some cheap or even expensive dry all the time haha! Lucky kitty is getting chicken...
This is an old post but I'm thinking of trying to get her used to two collars, one around the neck that she has on currently(a breakaway even tho she is an inside cat now), and one around the waist like on a harness, and eventually connect them together to make a harness.
Oh yeah those big packs are nice, especially the giant ones from Costco lol! They are so heavy tho and Costoco is really out of the way on the bus, so I've been getting them by singles. I did think of getting the larger cans of food but wasn't sure if those were meant for larger amounts of cats...
Thanks! I do use food banks, but I don't know if they have much cat food, I think there is a place for helping people with pets nearby, I need to get a hold of them, I somehow always seem to have enough for the cat, tho I am cautious when it comes to people food. I think a month or so ago I just...
Thanks all! Wow I feel like an idiot, I totally forgot you can buy meat ground up haha! Maybe I can do some raw food ocasionally, she loves raw meat. When she had acess to the outside it was easier but now that shes inside for good, its hard to open any meat up without my shadow there to...
Thank you I have, but I can barely afford to feed us both as it is, I visit the food bank at least every other month. I've read that its best to have a grinder as well and I can't afford one. Also the extra nutrients would have to be purchased to make sure that it was a balanced diet, all that...
I have some questions about trying new foods(canned mostly.
1. How often do you switch food flavors within a brand?
2. Should I try new foods of just one or two new brands, or would several different kinds be too much?
3. I'm generally against dry food, but I'm on a super tight budget and so...
I have plants...some that are supposed to be toxic....I've had a few before I got her and some after...She chewed or at least played with one about a week ago...then she had the runs and puked a day after, but otherwise seems fine now. I do get her cat grass but often throw it out as it gets...
Oh wow, didn't know that about the BS, I thought it cut down on the smell, I'll try that. She doesn't seem to like it anyways, I think it weirds her out when she pees on it and it fizzes haha...I made the mistake of not cleaning it out when it was real low, I usually clean it out to much because...
Kitty is suPURRRvising right now by laying in front of me so ignore typos lol....I got a collar on her, having a hard time with the harness tho. Might try more when I get some Feliway.
