I brought my very first kitty home one morning-she was a malnourished feral. She hid, I had no experience with cats. Now after 5 years I adore her-she is not spayed. I had 100% ZERO problems with her for a FULL 4 years after she was one year old. One...

I have been told that I should spray the area every day (once a day) for at least 30 days. Then you can back off to a few times a week, then sporadically. I would certainly try that and see how it goes. Good luck with that!

I change when it gets too old, worn and tear. But I would rather change fliters every 6 months to a year. It depends. I have 4 cats and it gets to use a lot. So you know it depends on what your situation is.

Mine had two kittens that will care will grow into cats. So I guess it may be different for each customer.

I'm not sure if it matters either sorry I couldn't help more. Try going to their website. I've been giving it to my young adult cat for 3 years and he loves it. No health problems.

It might be a huge help, but the best way to tell is to try it. I found it worked wonders for a very anti-social kitty that had been abused. VERY calming.We'd worked with him for almost a year with little success. We'd done everything to make him feel loved and secure but he was still quite aggressive with my other cats. He wasn't spraying, just being aggressive or hiding. Spraying can be due to so many other factors that its harder to eliminate, but this does have a calming effect on kitty and might make it easier to give him the meds. Is there other animals outside that he can see or smell that are making him anxious and protecting his territory? Its the most common reason for spraying if there is no illness present to cause it. These supplements are a great place to start, but you will need to investigate what is making him insecure so he feels the need to mark territory. Jackson Galaxy has some great cat advice videos on utube, his TV show, "My Cat From Hell" has some good techniques that will help you. Pam Hohnson-Bennett has some great cat advice books that you can find used on Amazon that are game changers. Solving your fur child's problem will require some thought and effort on your part, but every moment you spend will be worth it, repaid in unconditional love for the rest of his life. Please do not give up on your baby and dump him in a shelter, this can be fixed. The love you will get (not to mention good karma:) is more than worth the effort and expense. Much good luck and love, hugs and purrs from the Crazy Catlady!

Debbie - I did purchase Feliway for the purpose of trying to calm my two feral cats that are in the process of being domesticated so that we could visit the vet. Not easy. The drive was about 30 minutes. The vet was familiar with Feliway and thought it fine for us to use. I did, however, follow a friend's advice and asked the vet for a tranquilizer that I can put into her food for the next visit. She gave me some but we've not used them yet. How do you intend to keep during the drive? In a carrier? Sorry I could not really comment on the Feliway but let me know how the trip worked out. Good luck!

I have only used for my kitty once as she gets traumatized when we have to car travel and she did seem a bit calmer. She does have a biting habit, but as long as I give her plenty of chewable toys she is satisfied. Her favorite chew article is cardboard, but depending on the age of your kitten I might not give that to him. Sometimes cats never grow out of chewing, such as the case with my adopted kitty, but they just need something to chew on other than your hands. Hopefully it works out with your kitty.

It depends on the cat. My little lady is 4 years old and doesn't like to be held, much less brushed or groomed. She fought a little getting then on, and licked her paws a lot in the first half hour they were on but she acclimated quickly.

I think that if you have a roibder, older, more nonchalant cat, it would be fne. A skinny youngster could get through the sides if needed. My 4 year old cat wouldn't go there. My 1 year old would.

I see your question has been answered but I wanted to share my story with you. Wellness has good stuff in it but beware of possible diarrhea with your kitten. I got my first kitten 6 months ago and started him on Wellness Kitten and he had the runs so bad he was crying when he pooped. I got my second kitten a week ago and started him on Wellness Kitten and he now has diarrhea but not as bad as my first kitten. Both kittens aren't fond of the food either. I'd try a few cans mixed with the dry kitten food they are used to, if your kitten has been eating dry, before buying a case of it. Changing their diet can cause the runs and it ain't pretty.

Greetings Kassandra Leigh Purcell!Yes, Cat Attract should for all intents and purposes work for your "Stray". I would make certain to put her right in the box- that way she will get the hint- sometimes I will also make a digging motion with the cat's front paw so that they get the idea that this is for doing business- NOT for sleeping! Lol! This should do the trick- best of luck!

Been happy with the Tom Cat, but I did have to nail the 2nd one to a small plank of wood. The first one got dragged off by a wounded rat, I found it a few days with a with a half eaten carcass still stuck in it (Eaten by owls? Crows? Raccoons?). Nature's "Big Mac", I guess.

I believe they do. I have two brothers that were born to an outdoor momma cat. I fostered them as 2 month old kittens but they never really turned adoptable so they stayed with me. One had always been terrified of me. They both get one chew every day and the one who was always so terrified now can sit about 15 ft from me, I can make eye contact and talk to him and even if he runs if he thinks I'm coming toward him he doesn't go far and comes right back. The other one comes up and rubs against my ankles at food time. My vet - who is a cat only vet - said some food is being marketed with the calming ingredient in these chews. Royal Canin is one she knows specifically. Good luck! I believe they do. I have two brothers that were born to an outdoor momma cat.

Should be fine for kittens. It'd be gigantic compared to them. When I had kittens they loved being able to climb up and down posts. I might cover the bottom with soft blankets or something just in case they fall from the top (if they are climbers.) Some cats prefer different materials, but any cat can be trained not to scratch things as long as they have something they can. They do make kitten claw covers (soft paws, I think.) You have to trim the nails, then you basically glue these caps onto their nails. They should last until the claw's sheath comes off, which is natural. The time that takes can vary. I heard they usually last about a month. Should be fine for kittens. It'd be gigantic compared to them. When I had kittens they loved being able to climb up and down posts.

I have two cats and I have been away for 5 days without a problem. That is the maximum amount of time I've ever left the cats (with food too, as they have unlimited access) without someone to check in. I do always leave a spare bowl of water nearby just in case they need more. And you'll need to add water as soon as you return.

My fence use is shared with a german short hair, shi'tzu, and 2 medium haired cats. All were babes with they started. Oldest is now 11, youngest 3. They have been altered and all stay within the fence except 1 cat. Its instinct was to strong. It took 2 years but it somehow learned to jump over and eventually just run through the pain.

I'm not sure about a 4 week old kitten. They might be able to get their heads in between the bars. My cat was 4 months old when I got this kitty condo, which I still use every day to contain my very active cat while I am away at work. I would wait awhile for a kitten that young.
