I love watching thunderstoms....especially since investing in a backup generator.
Now able to enjoy nature's fury without the nagging worry about power outages!
I've found that bendy straws are the most cost effective toy for any active cat.
Get a pack of different colored ones and the cats will treat each one as a "new" toy once they've bent/chewed up/gotten bored with the old ones.
You can even fit the straws together to make different shapes...
We have two cats, one older 8 year old female, and a 2 year old male.
The male cat isn't overly aggressive, but sometimes playful. The problem is that whenever the older cat tries to move from one area of the house to another, the young male will pounce on her/chase her and it is clearly...
The cat has made the neighbor's yard his territory, so I doubt coaxing him with litter boxes or regular food next door will dissuade him.
If you do need to try and catch him, raccoon traps work nicely. Good luck!
