admin — Fri, 24 Dec 2010 12:44:58 +0000

ok so i just adopted a kitten from the pound that is 3 months old….i bought a cat litter and all so how do i start training her to use it……just tips that will help me is greatly appriciated

She should actually already know how to use it. She is a good age to leave the litter and come home, so there shouldn’t be any problems!! I would confine her to a room to start out with that has her litter, food and water and some toys, so she doesn’t get overwhelmed in the house from the start. If she is having litter problems, call the shelter and see what type of litter they used, she might just prefer that kind. You really shouldn’t have a problem tho, just put her in the box and I am sure she will eventually go

Why Should I Insure My Pet?

Why should I insure my pet?

Pets give us so much enjoyment and are one of the family. Whether it is a cat, dog, rabbit or snake, we all love our pets. On average a cat will live for 13 years. However, if they are cared for and stay inside, their lifespan can increase by as much as 7 years.

A lot of money is spent over this time on food, toys, kennels, litter, cages, training, beds, treats, clothes, hutches, collars….. the list goes on and on.

Although we all manage to find the money to buy all of these pet products, one major expenditure is forgotten time after time. Pet insurance. You might ask why should I insure my pet? Or do I need pet insurance? Yes is the answer. Whether it is pet insurance for my cat, or pet insurance for my dog you do need pet insurance.

On average 250,000 cats are hit by vehicles in Britain every year. That’s around 600 cats every single day. The average pet bill after a cat is hit in a road accident is £500 but in some cases could be as much as £10,000.

How much do you love your pet, or more importantly can you afford it. If you can’t afford to cover the pet bills then your pet will have to be put down. If you had a chance to save the life of your pet but money was the decider, you would be devastated that you didn’t insure your pet.

Every pet owner will agree that close bonds develop very quickly. If you have never had a pet then you simply wouldn’t understand what love, affection and companionship a pet can provide.

Where can I get pet insurance online?

For a very small fee per month your pet can be insured. Don’t do it tomorrow, do it today or you will regret not insuring your pet. Everyday pet owners that haven’t insured their pets have to have them put down. You don’t want to be put into the position at the vets where the choice of your pets life is put down to the size of you bank balance.

Cat toilet training

admin — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:51:29 +0000

This is the first time our cats are being introduced to toilet training. You do not need to buy any expensive training products to do this. We are using a simple aluminum foil pan. Start by putting their normal litter box in the bathroom. Then put the aluminum pan in the toilet with litter in it and show them where it is. Gradually use less and less litter. Cut a small hole in one corner of the aluminum pan and gradually make the hole bigger as time goes on.
Here, Ernie is very curious and ready to jump up on the toilet. Bert is more apprehensive and takes some convincing.
More videos to come as they learn to use it.

Litter training my puppy without him eating the cat poop?

admin — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 05:42:57 +0000

Yes, I know this is strange, but the truth is, it’s happening in my house and I’m not sure how to rearrange things in order for it to work. All over the place, small dogs have been taught to use a litter box with little to no problems. We have a 4.5 month old puppy who will never get to weigh more than 12 pounds, so the litter box is great. We live on the 5th floor, so sometimes walking outside is a problem. Anyway, long story short, our puppy is litter box training and while that’s fine and dandy, he uses it 95% of the time, the biggest concern we have now is that we have one litter box shared between our cat and dog. Both use it as they should, except the puppy has this disgusting (but very common) habit of eating the cat feces as soon as she’s gone potty. Most of the time, we can scoop it up and get rid of it before the puppy has a chance to notice, but sometimes we’re not that fast and by the time we get up to scoop it, he’s dragged out some and is munching on it on the carpet floor. Either that, or he’ll go in after it’s been scooped up and eat the litter that still tastes like the poop. They share the same box. We can’t really put the cat’s litter box in a different room. Due to our heating and air conditioning, using a separate room for this is impossible because the doors are always closed. I thought about using the larger box that we have with taller sides (the puppy can’t get into this box) but then our cat will just go in that box and thus, the problem will start all over again. Is there any advice anyone can offer? It’d really be appreciated.
Litter box training was very simple and took little to no effort, I was actually surprised. We started one night but setting him in the box and saying ‘bathroom’ over and over. He went on the first time we set him in the box.. Ever since, he’s pretty much been doing it on his own.

Also, thanks for the answer. The only available other room we have for the cat’s litter box to go has birds in it. Do you see my dilemma? Lol.

You will never be able to get them to stop once they start liking "tootsie rolls" as we call them in our house. Dogs love cat poop and it is pretty bad for them. My dog got sick right before christmas and I had to take her to the vet because of it. Separate the boxes or perhaps invest in an automatic litter box (not sure how it would work witht the puppy) I think that they are motion activated and scoop the box after it is used.

How do I litter train my cat?

admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 10:26:20 +0000

I am getting a 2 month old cat from my friend but she is not litter trained.

Kittens are pre programmed to eliminate on litter substance so you have to do is show it to them, encourage them to use it and praise them when they did a good job. However, most kittens begin to use the litterbox around 4-5 weeks of age so I am surprised to hear that your 2 month old kitten is not yet litter trained. Please do ask your friend if there are any problems with the kitten’s elimination.

Now, back to how to litter train your young one. To begin, make sure you purchase a litterbox that is suitable for your small kitten. Make sure the sides are low enough so she can easily climb in and out of the box.

I know kittens are active and they run around loose. So, if possible, during litter trainning time, try to confine herto only a few areas of the house. This way, you will be able to properly locate your litterbox and teach her how to use them.

Place her in the litterbox after each mealtime, playtime, naptime. You have to be very consistent. Place her into the box and gently guide her litter paws to scratch the litter. Depending on the kittens, their reaction could be totally different. Some will run away as fast as she could, some will sit and play, flicking litter everywhere, some will even lay down and take a nap! Don’t worry about that, those are all very normal. Sooner or later, she will get the idea.

Also, you need to be her pee/poop patrol guard. Be on the look out. Whenever you see the signs of going to pee/poop, act immediately. Take the kitten away from whichever spot she’s at and place her into her litter box. It can really get messy at times but during her training period, you have to get down and dirty with her.

You have to clean up urine spot as soon as the area is soiled. Kittens may use the spot again if they can smell it. You can use a variety of cleaners for this job and my favorite is Nature’s Miracle. You can get this easily in any pet store.

Actually, this may seem long but it’s nothing much to it. Once you show her the litter box location and let her explore it, she will gradually learn to use it. So, good luck to you and thanks for giving her a forever home!
