Best guess is to put it in with their food. Something strong flavored they like.

Vibactra is supposed to be given with as little liquid as possible so it absorbs better into the system. I don't know how you can separate them so that only one cat drinks 5 drops and the next cat drinks 5 more and so on. It would be best if you can monitor this so that everyone gets the right amount, otherwise, put a little milk in a dish and put the correct number of drops by weight for however many cats you have.

Not sure yet my cats haven't touched it since I put it together. I will try to put some catnip on it to see if it will help any.

Same problem here, a high fence cats jump from onto back garden. We are going to try with beam across garden but need to buy another one and will mount it higher. The one we have works a treat in lower front garden area, not one cat since purchase on the fence or ground level.

I believe so. It takes 2 feral cats of about 10 lbs each and they are playful.

You can either send away for them from the company (they are free, but they don't come with the ant farm), or you can go collect them yourself outside. I found it was much easier to just send away for them! However, be advised that the company doesn't send you a queen ant, so your colony will die off in a few months. You can collect a queen ant yourself, or I think you can pay extra and get one from the company.

It works fine. Use either cat food or sunflower seeds and something stinky like cheese . Make sure you cover it with a burlap sack or an old sheet. They don't spray then. Be very gentle and keep the blanket /cover on it when you open the front . They will be so happy to leave they do not even look back! Good luck. We have 80 acres we take them to..... 25 miles away. ;-)

The best answer to your question is to buy the bat sents. I know it sounds funny but you have to try and prevent the bats from returning to their current location once they leave and convience them that this new home is better. You can find scent for bats that will attract them to their new home.

Have you checked them for a medical issue? If they are healthy, it could be a territorial or insecurity issue. Make sure you have enough litter boxes. Look for other cats coming up to your house. One thing you could try is putting a litter box right at that area and slowly moving toward where you want it. The kind of litter or box could be a factor as well.

I'm sorry I don't have the right answer to your question. Maybe you can try something that they carry back to their colony, like cockroaches.

This may not work well for your one cat since it is declawed. They need to grab onto the small platform and pull themselves up.

That's the same reason I got mine! I stupidly connected the first one in my kitchen, and, wow, my cats bolted out of the room. But it seems to have no effect on them when they are set up outside - of course, it's Texas and I don't open my windows.... and the catstops point away from the house. Actually I only use them long enough to get other cats out of the habit of coming into my yard... then I loan them to friends who also have a cat problem!

I have one cat that goes on his tree several time a day and the other one only when the mood strikes. I have mine sitting in from of a window so they like to look at the humming birds feeding, I have them on my outside windows, I'm sure that helps some. Also we have squirrels that play on the neighbors roof and catch my cats attention. But maybe it will just take time. You know how cats are. Independent as all get-out. Patience it may take awhile. Kittens would probably adjust to the tree better.

Oh I'm sure:) but cats are a bit more stealth! They might figure out quickly how to work around it. As long as they don't step heavily on it they'd be fine. It would be hilarious to watch.

tuna fish works great, but the best thing you can do with a feral cat is to dispatch it.they kill rabbits turkeys and birds

We have lots of stray cats and they never got caught. The way the trap works is the coon has to reach in and pull up in order to trigger it, so it would be very hard for a cat to trigger it. If you are worried about cats than bait it with mini marshmallows. This is what I did. The racoons were all over the marshmallows and the cats ignored it. If a cat did get caught in it somehow it would probably be fine. It never broke the skin or any bones on the coons that I caught, but there is now way a coons getting out.

1A. Go to vet. Make sure nothing wrong biologically. 1. Go to store. Buy 2 under the bed storage boxes for a litter box. Most litter pans are too small. 2. fill with cat attract litter 3. Place boxes somewhere where it is quiet and they can't get ambushed coming in and out of the box. Don't put in a laundry room or near a furnace. 4. More than one cat needs more than one box. I had one older cat that needed three all to himself. 5. Try feliway collars which have natural calming pheromones. 6. Put feliway diffusers (amazon..best price..order the 6 pack)in places where you DO NOT want them to spray. Again calming pheromones. 7. Use a product called stink free to remove the spray smell from where they sprayed(amazon best price) 8. Sift litter boxes morning and night. Yes, twice per day. 9. Get them neutered and soon. If you wait too long, it will become a habit and even neutering them will not help. 10. Feed them in separate areas so they do not have to compete. 11. Do not use citrus based cleansers or any air fresheners near their litter box. They do not like this. They will not go there. I use the blue Lysol. Wash and completely clean out the litter boxes and fill with fresh litter twice per month while the behavior continues. Switch to once per month once you have it solved. 11. If you do all of this, yes, it is an investment, you should have a long and not smelly fun life with your kitties.

Hi! I own almost every kind of heated pet bed & I have never heard of or seen a battery operated one...sorry. I have to tell you, right before I got your question, we were running electricity to an area outside so we could place heated cat beds for our ferals. Maybe you can run some electricity to your garage? Hope so! Anyway, glad to hear you are taking care of feral kitties!
