Cats and Kittens

Ellie B asked:


Cats are particularly sensitive to pine oils because they lack an efficient liver enzyme system to detoxify them. Why do cat litter manufacturers use pine in this case?

I have 3 indoor cats and two litterboxes. I clean them out everyday but have a cat that pees behind the toilet. I have not made any changes with the litter. I scrub the floor and around the toilet everyday with bleach and hot water. My cats are all fixed. Do I move the catbox or put some kind of deterent behing the toilet? I love my cats but I also love a clean bathroom. Not to mention it’s disgusting!

My 15 y/o son’s dog died a few years ago, he wants a new pet and this time he wants a ferret.

We currently have a cat, do cats and ferrets generally get along?

My neighbor has about 15-20 stray cats outside her house that she feeds, and they like roaming into my yard. They hang out on my car and use my garden as a litterbox. Now my yard smells like cat! Any suggestions as to how to keep them out of my yard (I don’t want to put out mothballs because I have dogs and I am afraid the dogs may try to eat them and get sick)?

I have already tried:
A “liquid fence” product that worked for two days until it rained and it also smelled awful!
By the way, my dogs don’t stay out all day long, so they can only keep cats out of my yard while they are out.

Oh, and if you are asking about my “sissy dogs”, I have two Cane Corso Mastiffs.

I have 3 cats total. They are all fixed. One male and 2 females. One of the females is the mom cat and the other two are her kittens that I’ve decided to keep. Well they all used the litter box. But this has changed in the past 2 months. The male cat is the only one that still uses the litter box. The two females aren’t. I have two litter boxes that I clean each day. And it’s the same litter that they have always used. They use the litterbox to go number two. But they won’t use it to go pee. They are peeing on any carpet area they can get to in the house. I love them alot. And I don’t want to have to get rid of them. I am open for any suggestions. Thanks

I was just wondering different ways people out there taught their kittens or cats to stay off furniture. My sister just moved into a new apartment a few months ago and got a kitten last week. She has a brand new couch and the kitten won’t stop jumping on it. My sister is worried the kitten will rip it. Any ideas for her?

These stray cats that hang around my neighborhood always come in to my yard and poo. I want to get them to stop because one of my dogs eats it and we had to take him to the Vet. because he started getting diahrea. I also don’t want to hurt the cats in the process.
I’m to young to be dealing with traps and I don’t want to use urine or animal repellent because my dogs still need to go outthere and do their thing.
