Thanks for the suggestions.  We might have to give those mats a try.  I think she's just chewing on stuff out of boredom.  I thought she got a lot of playtime but maybe not.  We have a black lab that she loves, they play sometimes.  It's hard to find toys for her that the dog won't eat, or steal...

Storm Shadow (Stormy) is almost 3 years old.  She's always been a crazy cat and a little destructive.  She's eaten holes in my socks and pants.  Now she's scratching the carpet.  She scratches it up at the doorways, whether or not the door is open.  She's destroying patches of carpet because of...

I had this problem with my cats before and I took an inexpensive fitted sheet and put it upside down on the box spring. This way it covers the fabric on the underside of the mattress, it also acts as sort of a bed skirt, covering the sides of the box spring.  Seemed to work well for me!  

We have a 1 year old cat "Storm", an 8 year old cat "Pansy" and a 2.5 year old black lab "Isis".  We have very few problems with Pansy but Storm is a whole other story.  She gets into everything, all the time. Good thing she's cute :)  Anyways, the problem we're facing right now is that she...

I have the bitter apple spray and it seems to work.  I've used it more for the dog than the cats but I think it works for all of them.  I think you can get it at most pet stores.  I don't know about the vinegar though, the orange peels sound like a good idea. My kitten is also chewing on the...

That's a good thought. I'm using Arm and Hammer Double Duty right now.  Is there a good brand of unscented clumping litter out there?  

So we have our litter boxes in the furnace room downstairs. That's really the only place we can put them (in case you're concerned about this, our furnace is fairly new and super quiet, we've never had a problem with the cats being scared of the sound, even our most skittish cat is fine with...

I have an 11 month old kitty (Storm) and she steals my socks. Then she chews holes in them.  I can't even tell you how many socks I've thrown out because the toe or heel have been chewed through.  I have caught her stealing my husband's socks, she carries them downstairs and leaves them there...

I've locked my kitten outside overnight once.  She must have run out (which she tends to do even though she is strictly an indoor cat) when I was letting the dog in before bed. I didn't even realize she was in the room, let alone that she had snuck outside. I went to bed and in the morning when...

Oh yes, she was spayed when we got her...which I thought was kind of early...but it's been done.  Well thanks everyone, looks like I just need to keep my patience in check for awhile yet.

I forgot to mention that she's about 6 months old, she was born in November sometime. I just figured the "terrible twos" must coome sooner for cats ;)

I'm hoping that's what this is because that means it won't last Our 7 year old cat Tulip passed away in November. After much thought we decided we wanted to adopt a new kitten. We already have Tulip's sister Pansy and our almost 2-year old black lab Isis.  In February, we adopted Storm from...

I had the same problem with my two cats, one was overweight and would eat all the food of the other one.  I got around it because Tulip (the overweight one) couldn't jump very high, so I put Pansy's food up on a shelf.  I think the box is a good idea.  As for an automatic feeder, I'm not sure if...
