All - Thanks for the advice and the pics! It's nice to at least see that you all have had success with this. We already have quite a few places for the cat to retreat to, but I will ensure there are more and work on training the dog not to chase the cat, etc. Thanks again!

Hi all - SUMMARY: My wife and I have a 4 year old tabby, indoor cat, NO other pets. She is the princess of the house without a doubt (although my wife would say the cat is queen, not the princess). We have both wanted a dog for years and are finally able to get one. We will be receiving an...

Hi all - I just moved into a new townhouse and a neighbor's cat is constantly on my deck. I wouldn't mind, except that it's driving my (indoor) cat crazy! My cat won't leave the deck door now... since she saw the cat outside she is obsessed with the cat outside. She just sits there all day and...

Thanks all... Unfortunately... 1) I trim her nails about every 2 weeks. 2) My cat LOVES double sided tape. She'll play with any kind of tape for hours 3) She does hate citrus, but I sprayed some 100% natural citrus spray in the area and she still did it 4) I bought bitter apple last year and...

Hi all -- Does anyone know how to make a cat stop digging at a carpet? My cat Chopper is about 15 months old. She is spayed but is not declawed. I must admit she has pretty much been as close to an angel as you could want in a cat thus far (no real problems), but suddenly she is digging at my...

Is your cat fixed yet? If so I'm probably not much help. If not, please read about my experience. My cat did a complete 180 with her claws after she was fixed and after she aged a few months. http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=84925 [keith]

Hi all -- I had come to this forum as a desperate last resort to help me decide whether or not to declaw Chopper, which I had found freezing outside as a 3 week old kitten in October. Even though she had been scratching me a lot, many of you strongly advised me to not declaw her, and I must...

Thanks both of you! Looks like I should give the citrus a try. I havent tried that yet. Is this natural citrus oil/spray something I should buy at a pet store? Or is it available at a regular store? Also, any suggestions of brands and/or where in the store do I find something like that? Im...

... Thank you. Im not sure if shes also chewing the carpet cause I can never catch her doing it. I thought maybe the smell would repel her from the area completely. On that note: a friend let me borrow a product called "Bitter Yuck". So I sprayed it on a couple plants that my cat somehow always...

Hello all - For the past month my cat has gotten into a bad (and soon to be expensive!) habit... Sometimes when she sees a closed door, she proceeds to "dig" at the carpet right where the bottom of the door meets the door frame. It's in the spot right where the carpet meets the door frame, so...

Thank you all! I appreciate your insight, opinions, resources and experiences. This forum is fantastic. For what it's worth, you've all probably saved my furball from losing its claws. Weighing in your information regarding cruelty AND the fact that there's plenty of other options... I just...

Hello - While on a walk a few months ago I found a stray kitten, by itself in the middle of no where in about 38 degree temps. I visited some neighbors but no one claimed it... ... so I have adopted her and so far the cat is great, with one exception: she is clawing the heck out of me, my...
