It’s normal for cats to eat grass. It won’t make them sick unless you use fertilizers and pesticides on your lawn. These can harm and even kill a cat. Cats eat grass for a number of reasons. Here are just a few:

• Cats eat grass to help them vomit up hairballs
• Cats eat grass to help relieve a stomach ache.
• Cats eat grass to add roughage to their diet
• Cats eat grass to relieve an inflamed throat
• Cats eat grass to enable them to pass hairballs
• Cats eat grass for folic acid, a necessary nutrient

Outdoor cats have ready access to grass when needed, but an indoor cat will probably nibble on your houseplants. Many houseplants are harmful, and even fatal to cats. One way to avoid this is to provide your cat with a ready supply of fresh cat grass.

Kittys Garden comes with  four grasses most cats love. Organic oats, barley, wheat, and rye in a sturdy planter. Just plant and add water.

Kitty’s Garden comes with a nice inexpensive Refill Kit. Just place in the planter, add water, and in a few days your cat will have more grass to munch on. Keep your cat healthy the safe fun way.

Another way to keep your cat happy and healthy is to provide fresh catnip indoors. Cat Nip Plus comes with it’s own container. Just plant, and add water. In a few days your cat will be having the time of it’s life.

If you have a garden you can plant Organic Catnip Herb Seeds. Your outdoor cat, and all the neighborhood cats, will love you for it.

If you’re into herbal tea this treat can be for you too. Cat Nip makes a nice lemon-mint tasting, relaxing herbal tea.

Share a treat with your cat and ensure it stays happy and healthy for a long time to come.

Declawing cats is common in the United States. It’s a matter of convenience; what’s easiest for the human involved. It’s considered inhumane and unnecessary mutilation  in England. It’s illegal in most European countries as well as Australia, New Zealand, Israel, and Brazil.

I believe that people would make the right decision about declawing if they knew what’s really involved. It isn’t just pulling out the claws. When a cat is declawed the claw and bone are removed to the joint. Basically, you’re cutting the end of the toe off.

Once done the skin is sutured or glued and the cat will spend a day or two in the hospital. Then it’s sent home to suffer for the rest of it’s life. A cat uses it’s claws for many things. Jumping, scratching, climbing, holding objects, even simple balance require the claws. Imagine the tips of your toes were cut off. Not so easy now, is it.

The main reason that cats are declawed is so they won’t scratch people or furniture. A cat’s scratch has never killed anyone and only causes momentary pain. Declawing a cat causes life long suffering and even death. Furniture can be replaced, but your cat is unique.

Often when a cat is declawed it’s personality changes completely. Your cat may become timid and hide, or aggressive and bite. You’ve made your cat defenseless. Biting becomes the only option for protection. Leaving the house is a death sentence for a declawed cat.

There are alternatives to declawing your cat. My first choice would be to train your cat to use a sisal rope Scratching Post. Make sure the post isn’t made of carpet.

Put the scratching post somewhere that your cat travels frequently. Cats are smart and learn quickly. A sharp (not loud) NO and a carry to the post is usually all it takes. Add some catnip for incentive.

The cat scratching post above is on sale ($19.01 off) and comes with free Super Saver Shipping. Give it a look.

Next up is the Cat Claw Clipper. These come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Be very careful when you use these. You can easily hit the quick and cause pain and bleeding.

Clipping your cats claws is a much more humane way to control scratching than declawing is. Just be sure you only clip the curved tip of the claw.

Now we’ve come to Soft Claws Cat Nail Caps. These come in Small, Medium, and Large sizes. They also come in different colors.

To use these you clip your cat’s claws, apply adhesive, and then the cap. They last about for weeks on average.

As you can see there are alternatives to maiming your cat for life. I prefer the scratching post, but any is better than declawing.

There’s also another surgery in which the tendon that controls the claws is severed. In my opinion, this is worse than declawing. This surgery often leads to complications and should be avoided.

Now you know the truth about declawing. I hope you see that true cat lovers don’t declaw there cats. They just love them regardless.

Cats aren’t using their litterbox? Do they poop in the box and pee in a corner? Maybe it’s the other way around. Newsflash! It isn’t the cat’s fault. It’s YOUR fault.

Do you change ALL of the litter at least weekly? Do you scoop at least daily? How many cats do you have? How many litter boxes do you have? What kind of litter do you use? What does the box smell like?

Cats don’t like to poop and pee in the same box. If you have one cat you should have two boxes. If two cats you should have three boxes and so on. There should be one additional box for the number of cats.

Litter should be scooped daily and changed weekly. Before adding new litter the box should be thoroughly cleaned and air dried. You can find an economical cleaner-deodorizer Here. Even if you use liners you should still clean the box weekly.

Now let’s talk litter boxes. There are three basic kinds. There’s the old fashioned kind you scoop. There’s the electric self cleaning kind. There’s the kind my cats like best.

If you don’t like scooping litter (who does) you want a self cleaning litter box. The electric kind are expensive, often don’t work well, and have filters that must be replaced. They end up being more work than scooping.

The other kind of self cleaning box is made by Omega Paw. See the picture. Notice the rounded end. With this box you just roll it over on it’s top, the waste is screened out, and you just roll it back. The waste collects in a tray for easy disposal.

Now let’s talk litter. If you’re using the old fashioned clay litter, get rid of it. Although the clumping litter is good, I’ve found something better. It’s called World’s Best and it’s made from corn.

Litter made from corn  is biodegradable, has a nice odor, and is almost dust free. My cats love it! Since I started using it I’ve had no litter box problems at all.

Here’s Omega Paw. Here’s World’s Best . If you scroll down on the World’s Best page you’ll find a deal that includes World’s Best, Omega Paw and a Deshedder all for one price. You can’t beat it.

I hope this will help you with your litter box problems. I know it will give your cats a better home environment. Just ask my cats.

Best,
