Why do cats scratch?

Peter

Scratching (also known as stropping) is a normal behaviour in cats. Unfortunately some cats can cause countless headaches for their owners by scratching household furnishings, which leads to damage & great expense. Scratching of furniture is a leading cause of cats being surrendered to shelters.

Herbal Medicines

Note: The following document is for information only - Please thourougly research herbal medicines before using any herbs or essential oils with your cat.

Although these herbs have history of being safe for use with cats, always watch for problems such as lethargy, poor appetite, vomiting, digestive upset, or other negative reactions. When using herbal extracts with cats it is very important to boil off the alcohol before giving the extract. You can do this by adding 2-3 drops of the extract to 1/2 - 1 teaspoon of boiling water. Once the water cools give the diluted solution to the cat orally via dropper or syringe.

Enzyme Cleaners - The Only Effective Cat Urine Odor Eliminator

Peter

The first time a feline owner encounters an out-of-the-cat-litter-box experience, she probably uses whatever cleaners she has on hand. Initially, it appears she's cleaned the cat urine odor and stain from the location. However, in a matter of hours or days, she still smells the cat urine odor in the "clean" spot and can't figure out why it's still there.

Training a Cat for the Litter Box

Peter

Did you know that you can control when a cat has to go to the bathroom and when they don't have to go? It is called feeding time. One of the first things in training a cat is do not feed the cat anything unless you are going to be home for a time after they have eaten. This is a good example of feeding the cat after you get home from work and preparing dinner for the family. By the time you and your family have sat down and enjoyed your dinner, the cat should be ready to go out or go to the litter box to go potty.

Bring Your Cats Everywhere

Peter

When you decide to add a new cat to your home, it's typically more exiting for you and your family than it is for the cat you already own. Although most cats are lone by type, most will also come to accept or eventually tolerate any additions. Cats can be very territorial, which is why you should forever be sensitive when you host a new cat to your recent cat.
