Thanks, Heidi! I found the product at this url: http://www.catfencein.com/ I sent for the brochure. The product looks fairly simple to make using ordinary shelf hooks and netting. However, the one on the web site undoubtedly looks better and lasts longer than one a person could make by trial...

Can you suggest a fence cover to prevent climbing over? This 6 foot cedar fence: * may not have a trellis nailed up to make it higher * has bird netting covering every place this cat could jump out We take our 4 indoor cats out in the backyard for supervised play twice a day. Three are...

Pls read again for "interactive toy time". We both play with her, for a total of several times a day for 20 or more minutes each. We play with her in each room, with as many games as we can make up. She likes boxes, strings, digging, and several types of toys. She's a verrrry active kittie, and...

1 yr old Ratty still needs a playmate, and another cat is not an option. (We have 3 cats, the other two are too old). What other creature, besides a dog, could provide enough interest? A ferret maybe - is there a proven way to select a good kind/age/gender as a playmate? Rabbit? Bird in a cage...

This is about a lonely kitty. Our two 4 yr old female Maine Coon mixes are people lovers, sedate, and content. Our 1 yr old tabby, Ratty, is lonely, I think. She's a smaller cat and loves to run, climb, tumble. She invites play and gets rebuffed. We take them out in the fenced garden several...

Sandie, Thanks! I ran out and got Dr. Bach's Rescue Remedy this morning. Glad for anything that works, and I'm not a skeptic - but did you notice that it's 27% alcohol? Various uses that I found for it on the web are for adults, children, horses, dogs, and cats. Because it's recommended for...

Circe often gets the raw end of play. What do we do (long term and at the moment) about too much dominance against this cat? Here's the situation. Three females: * Sokie and Circe (Maine Coone mixes age 4) * Ratty (tabby, age 1) We give gentle Circe, a devoted Mom's girl, her normal share of...

When my husband isn't sitting around in his suckle-cloth (terrycloth) robe, 1 yr old Ratty accepts a washcloth as a fine substitute. We trained her from about 3 months by gently moving her to a pillow with the washcloth on it when she suckled on my hair in bed. Now she looks for the washcloth...

Looking for recipe for chewy treats for cats. Prefer large enough and hard enough to gnaw on, not just eat. But not hard enough to break teeth or cause choking. A good texture might be the chewiness of a lamp cord. I've searched the web for some time, will appreciate any ideas. Linda

I can see how tougher products could break teeth. Maybe we can find a recipe for cat chews.

Sandie, Thanks, but how would choking be an outcome of a tougher product? Please go into further detail. Linda

Processed cat chews are available in pet stores in one flavor: chicken. Similar processed dog chews come in yummy-looking bacon, cheese, and many other flavors. Processed cat chews are treats, not intended to replace a healthy diet. With that in mind, is there any reason not to give cats the...
