Lahh asked:


I have an indoor cat, Max, who is almost four years old. I recently took up volunteering at my local animal shelter and I would like to be a foster parent to cats (maybe even dogs) in the shelter. Max is very VERY territorial and does not like any other animals (my cousin’s dog who we watch a lot, my friend’s cats who visit, etc.)

Is there any way to train him to be nicer? Will I never be able to foster other animals while I still have Max?

I’ve read a lot about how Friskies is cheap/bad food and the more expensive, grain free brands are better. I don’t mind paying more for a brand such as Wellness, but someone cite specific benefits to feeding cats the “better” food?

How old should the kitten be before switching to kitten food? Her mommy cat seems to be getting tired and crabby all the time so I wonder if the kitten should start eating on its own. She’s a month old now and has started to run and play so she needs a lot of energy. Thanks and happy holidays to all!

There are a lot of stray cats in my area. I am going to be creating a garden for the first time and I am certain that at least one of the many stray cats in the neighborhood will enjoy making my garden a toilet.

How do I keep them out? Is a Remington the only answer?

Dotty asked:


We have had the cat fully checked out at the vet and are told it is behavioral. The cat box is cleaned daily and we have 4 boxes for 2 cats. We have tried Feliway diffusers to reduce stress and spend a lot of time with the cat. The only thing I have not tried yey is isolating her in a room with litter and food. Does this work? If yes, how do you transition out of the room?
