Cats and Kittens

monica asked:


We are wanting to put a large playground/swingset in our back yard and we would like it to be surrounded by a large sandbox. However there are so many cats in the neighbourhood and having a child indgest cat poop can be very dangerous. I am afraid that having a large sand box is just inviting the cats to come and use is as a litterbox. Any suggestions in keeping the cats away from the sandbox?

I hate the smell my cat’s litterbox makes. My mom remarks whenever she comes inside the house from work when she’s gone for a few hours, she can smell the stench that is far down the hallway in our room. When I walk into my room I’m always greeted by the stench. What is a good cat litter that odor blocks really well and what are some other tips that keep the catbox from stinking?

I’ve tried throwing my cat into his litterbox but he sits there and walks out of it. I’m not sure what kinda cat he is, but he has black fur and yellow eyes. I think he’s a Burmese, but I’m not positive. The cat litter he’s using is Special Kitty.

Will asked:


A neighborhood cat is using one of our flowerbeds as a litterbox. It is a problem because it is right near our front door and every time we open the door we are greeted with the smell. Is there a way of preventing a cat from doing this? We do not have cats so we do not know what is attracting the cat to this one particular spot.

We own 2 cats. The younger cat (female) has taken to using the older cat’s (also a female) litterbox, causing the older cat to deficate just outside of her litterbox. She will not go in any litterbox that is not exclusivly hers. How can we correct this problem?

The younger cat has taken over both boxes completly. The older will not use either box now.
