CAT TIP FOR THE DAY =^..^= Litter-box Problems

Today I post my first Cat Tip for the Day. I will never post anything to do with medicating a cat as I leave that business to your Veterinarian but I do have lots of day-to-day tips just from living with cats for more than 50 years.

If your cat is not using it's litter-box and leaving gifts in all the wrong places my suggestion is you check the following...1. Does your cat have easy access to the litter-box? Sometimes if there is too much traffic around the area where the box is kept the cat will not use it. They do like their privacy, you know.

2. Is the litter-box big enough for your cat? They like to be able to move around in the box and scratch while they turn their body.

3. Have you recently changed the type of litter you use? Many of the litters have added chemicals to reduce odour but the cat is very affected by the very un-natural scent.

4. How many cats are using the box? You should have a box for every 2 cats.

5. IS THE LITTER BOX KEPT CLEAN? This is very important. Cats are clean animals and they do not like a dirty litter-box. Stay on top of it and you should not have any problems.

In all my years of loving music, this is one of my favorite.

Daisies are a favorite along with cats & sunshine.

A LITTLE EXTRA LOVE -N/C

After enjoying a great dinner out, I stopped in to see this little munchkin. I am booked to visit her once a day but today I thought she seemed a little anxious (she had rip-roared around the house knocking things here and there) so I thought it best to check on her this evening too. She was happy for company, there is no doubt, and I am glad I did follow my gut-feeling. I sat with her awhile and gave her special treats. Then we sat together on the floor and played ball. Before I left I gave her a serving of her favorite food and while she ate, I patted her and left. "I'll see you in the morning. Don't wreck the house. Mom will be home very soon." Tomorrow I will bring a book and read while I visit, out-loud. She loves that. I read, she purrs and kneads and sometimes rolls right off the couch. I think she is fast becoming one of my favorite kitties to cat-sit. *grin*

Nope, he's waiting for his ball to land.

You've Got A Friend.

This is Mary. We have been friends for 34 years. Why, because I know her true colors and she knows mine and we love each other as friends ANYWAYS.  Here we are on our lunch break from work in Toronto, 1979. Shopping, of course.
