Re: Cat owners, help please? I did not know you had a ragdoll jayde. The last time I saw that breed of cat, it look pretty big to me. Had to been the biggest cat I seen at the time. I have family who own cats and I can tell you that the beasts can be rather picky about the kind of food

Re: Cat owners, help please? A lady said her cat was scared of the splash when it pooped, but was able to get it to poop by giving it a treat afterwards. So now when she comes home, if the cat is begging for a treat, she knows it pooped!My wife and I have considered it for our 2 cats. I

Re: Cat owners, help please? Have you considered getting a catio? They're pretty small enclosures, but it allows cats to have the best of both worlds.You can also look at a yard rigged with netting or tarps on top of the fence, or maybe put some rolling bars to discourage them from ju

Re: Cat owners, help please?

Re: Cat owners, help please? Yeah cats are furry, fluffy little killing machines. And you do have to be up on their care if you let them out. I think it's a better quality of life for them though. Only if they show interest though. I wouldn't force a cat out that really doesn&#x

Re: Cat owners, help please? @IronCross,The bad thing is, when I asked a vet about declawing my cat, he said it would be fine.This was back in early 1996, and I thought I was helping my cat  by giving him more room to run in my apartment.At the time, I had a water bed, and he couldn'

Re: Cat owners, help please?

Re: Cat owners, help please? lol My cat realized that if he stands silently near his dish, he doesn't get attention. But if he bangs it, it'll tell me that it's nearly empty. I usually check on the daily anyway, but if I ever forget, and he's eaten or drunk more than

Re: Cat owners, help please? Plus a billion on the do not declaw thing. It's cruel, can lead to medical conditions, and yeah it's just like chopping off a knuckle. Basically don't get a cat if you're not ready to handle them scratching up shit, or learn how to redirec

Re: Cat owners, help please?

Re: Cat owners, help please? Some cat experts say that it is better to have more than one litter box. This ensures that the cat always has easy access to the box, especially if there's more than one cat. The rule of thumb seems to be, have the same number of litter boxes as cats, plu

Re: Cat owners, help please?

Re: Cat owners, help please? Not all self-cleaning litter boxes will start moving while the cat is inside. The Litter-Robot only cleans after the cat has left the litter box. If the cat happens to enter the litter box while it's moving, it'll stop. URL: https://forum.audiogame

Re: Cat owners, help please?

Re: Cat owners, help please? Yeah, I can garran-damn-tea you that if my cat was on the box and it started moving, she'd bolt and never go near it again. I don't have one, but judging by how skittish she is, I know it would freak her out.I second that about buying litter th

Re: Cat owners, help please?

Re: Cat owners, help please? I actually love to see a discussion about owning a cat is a blind person more broadly. It's definitely something I've been considering, but like, I want to know everything involved first. Ditto for a number of other common pets.

Re: Cat owners, help please?

Re: Cat owners, help please? Definitely recommend using a scoop or small hand-shovel or whatever you want to use every day or two, tops. Wear gloves if you're squeamish.Alternatively, if you find this is awkward, you can get those little poop-scooper bags. They're usually scented

Re: Cat owners, help please?

Re: Cat owners, help please? Basically what Defender said. Sift through it with a scoop every few days or so, put the chunks in a bag, and throw the bag in the trash. I believe most litter boxes come with a scoop. You don't have to touch the litter, but if you find doing so helpful

Re: Cat owners, help please? I just sift through with a plastic hand shovel every day or two in order to find the chunks and throw them in a bag/bucket.  It gets easier the more you do it.You'll need to change the litter regularly anyway because of the pee, but that's easy to

Cat owners, help please? Hey all,Recently i acquired a cat. She's just awww, to say the least. A question though: How do you know when a cat's toilet is full? Like are you supposed to touch inside the thing and feel? Suppose not. Any help would be appreciated.
