I no longer use the bowl of food inside the bowl of water because the food would always fall into the water and become a stinky slimy mess. I now use the Antser. Since using this I have had no more ant problems.

Wouldn't have thought of ordering kitty litter online! Thanks!
And....no, none of the litter boxes have lids. I make mine out of Rubbermaid storage containers. They are very large with lots of room to dig and walk around. However the newest boxes are very small. She was peeng on the floor...
Speakhandsforme, thanks for the suggestions. I haven't tried different litter. Never thought to do that. I live in a rural city, so I doubt I can find Cat Attract here, but I can certainly try another type of litter for her and then get some Cat Attract the next time I get to a PetsMart...
Hey everyone! If you look at the sticky thread on urination problems, you will see that I wrote a section of that thread. In fact, I am the person our local humane society sends people to who have cat behavior problems. So, i know a lot about solving behavior problems. But, I have found my...
I have been away for such a long time. It is really great to see that you are still here! I hope all is well in your world.
Uncle Fester's truck is red and the truck stuck in the I-24 flood was red as well. All of the other flooded trucks and cars had been evacuated long before. This...
On TV on Saturday I saw a semi trapped in the I-24 flood in Nashville and watched as they pulled out a man who looked like Uncle Fester. I am worried that, if it was him, he had to leave his cats in the truck. The water was up to the windows, so the situation is bad. Does anyone ever hear...
Our Humane Society also does low cost microchipping through 24Petwatch. Ours were $10.00 each (thank goodness since I have 6 cats!). Our local vets charge $40.00 each -- I'm not sure what brand they use.
A lady who just moved here from California lost her 16 year old cat after the cat fell out of a screened window. And, months ago two of my fosters pushed their way out of my screened window. Luckily I found both of my foster cats and luckily they were both microchipped, just in case someone...
Stopping Inappropriate Urination
The first and most important thing to do is to take the cat to the vet! You need to specify that the cat is urinating outside the box so that the vet knows what to look for. Urinating outside the litter box is the #1 symptom of urinary tract problems! A...
Stopping Inappropriate Urination
First, we need to know for sure that the problem is urinating rather than spraying. If the cat is standing and the urine shoots straight back so that he/she is aiming high on the wall or side of the couch, it is spraying. If the cat squats while urinating, it is...
Beware if the hormone tabs are Ovaban. These are highly likely to cause a lethal form of diabetes in male cats. Ovaban does tend to calm aggressive males, but you do have to keep in mind the potentially serious side-effects.
How to Stop Spraying
If the cat is spraying...he is marking his territory. Basically, he's saying this is my place, not yours! This can be a difficult habit to break but it is absolutely possible to do so.
Try the following ideas. Hopefully they will help!
1. Use Feliway to help him not...
