Hi Jackson! I discovered your channel when my fur baby started spraying. We couldn’t get her to stop no matter what we did. Come to find out, we were just making it worse. Locking her up at night, showing her the sprayed areas and scolding her, I mean, totally clueless pet parenting and stressing her out more. This of course led to more spraying. So there I am, at my wits end looking for answers on TH-cam and you pop up! What an eye opener. We used all your tips for the clean up, added two cat trees (one on each floor of the house) and one extra litter box. She responded to the changes almost immediately and has not spayed since then! Wow! You are not kidding when you say “Catify to satisfy”. I’m so grateful to you for helping me get my happy Kitty back. 😽🥰
hi omg,, could you link the video you watched of his? we’re still struggling with these problems and my parents are much less willing to try and change the house..
Try watching the litter box vids and the vid “cat oft to satisfy”
Cat daddy: When is the right time for catification? Right this second.
Me watching this at 3am: (@_@)
Maybe do the drilling and hammering in two hours when people start getting up for work.
3.09am lol
Cat daddy why does my kitty fling the litter out of the box and play with it? It is crystal litter. Thanks if you can answer.💗💗💗
My cat is so spoiled, I need to humanify my house!!!
Samee I was organizing an office for me to work from home..but my cat was bored watching me work and annoying me..started to buy all kinds of posts etc..now looks like a cat office lmao
😂😂
My poor man, forget it!... You are now living at your cat's house!...
Consider yoursel lucky he doesn't charge you fees for petting and loving on him!...
I feel your pain since I am living at my cat's house too!...
Those little cute, annoying little things are Lucky they are so damn cute!...
The purring gets you every time!... I feel your "pain"!...
😹😹😹
@TeamUSASportsFan you should get fish instead of a cat
I'd love for him to go over in some of his videos about specifically catifying a house that isn't yours. Like removable stuff that still adds fun. And Because I cqnt do anything to the walls because there are so many windows
He actually wrote two books which give excellent ideas. First is "Catify to Satisfy" and second "Catification". The books show different people with different homes and ideas
Make cat TV. Put bird feeders outside those windows & get your cat a window perch & your cat will LOVE it
Johnett Simonson Oh yeah! The window perch is a great idea! They use suction cups so they are definitely easy to remove when needed.
Cat trees/condos or even stuff like a bookshelf for them to climb on and walk around.
Same
I added a wall of shelves in my living room, and got some bird feeders on the balcony, after watching Jacksons videos. My cat loves it! Now a pair of doves created their nest right infront of her area, so she has awesome cat-tv!!
Speaking as a person on a limited budget and in a rented home - don't doubt the efficacy of open bookshelves and cardboard to create scent soakers, and space off the floor. (I use IVAR from IKEA that I've bought over the years). Putting a bookshelf near the window makes for great cat tv.
I think we should petition ikea to make cat furntiure
@@jadedbelle4788 Ikea do have some cat furniture but only in limited countries.
Jaded Belle ikea does have cat furniture. You just take all the furniture they have and use it for your cats. Seriously. Shelves, chair and a desk have all been commandeered by my cats as a highway.
@@jadedbelle4788 I think we should petition IKEA to ship products in general. I mean, without a $200 delivery fee.
@@kitdubhran2968 I'm big mad at IKEA just now because I put $30 of stuff in my cart and they literally want $200 to ship it LOL
I have the book “Catification,” and it is so _full_ of great ideas. It shows that a catified home could be highly stylish, once thought to be an impossible feat.
When I moved into my new apartment with my boy, this book was incredibly useful!! If you have a cat, seriously pick up a copy. You and your cat are both gonna be happier living together.
Jackson, I wish you had MORE videos on multi-cat households! It’s so common for people to have more than one cat. Please talk about that more, including socializing more than 1 kitten with older kitties already living in the house❗️🙏🙏🙏 - Millie
CAT HERO, HE HAS DONE SO MUCH FOR CATS AND THE HUMANS WHO LOVES THEM
Catified most of my house, so I'm also doing a boring part of the yard. I was going to use a big wire cage to protect a tree but it was on it's side and I put a blanket over it to dry-now a cat tunnel with cardboard boxes inside. I made a dry dirt patch bigger with sand and sawdust, they love rolling/playing in it. I hauled 4ftx2 chunks of dead tree and lined them up, became a sitting, walking, scratching and zoomie circuit. I nailed boards to connect the the top of 10 ft posts and have a 20 ft. log going up, they love sprinting up this and having a view of the area. So they play while my back aches....worth it!
Whaddaya know! Just got my new kitty (she’s been home two weeks) a cat tree today. She’s already decided it’s much more fun to scratch than the furniture, so that’s a win! Hasn’t done much climbing yet, but I left her some tuna treats to find on each level.
Irony. A feral female cat about 6 months old started hanging around our large covered porch 4 months ago. She sleeps out there and leaves for the day when the sun comes up. I put out one of our 40 inch cat towers and she started sleeping in it but left in the morning. Yesterday my husband was bringing home a new 5 ft cat tree so I gave the out door cat the beat up 5 foot tree we were replacing. This is the first day that cat has not left at sunrise. I went out to feed the squirrels their peanuts and got the shock of my life, she is still in that tall cat tree. It has feather toys suspended that she's crazy about and she sits at the very top bed and just watches the world go by. Adorablew to see her reaction to having her two cat trees.
I stacked two small coffee tables I found in free piles, put a large square cat bed in the middle, and stuck it next to a window. It is super popular! Cats can watch out the window, have a cushy nap in the middle, or curl up in the darker space on the bottom. I highly recommend this inexpensive alternative.
Literally every room in my apartment is catified. Yes, this includes clearing off the top shelf in the bathroom and putting a nice folded up blanket instead so my bathroom cat has a comfy spot from which to critique our toilet technique.
These cats have more room and nicer stuff than my roommate and I! Which is as it should be.
I can't wait to move for this very reason. My new house has 9 foot ceilings and lots of windows. I plan on utilizing the walls for my 2 cats while my 2 dogs and myself occupy the floor space. My amazing sister has already started helping by gifting me a 7 foot cat tree for Christmas and giving me wooden crates that she used as decorations for her wedding. I plan on making shelves and (hopefully) floating sisal posts myself.
The semi finished crawl space is a real treat for our cat to explore.
Jackson in one of your episodes you had a lady help develop catification in an apartment. A lot of landlords these days don't want shelves or anything nailed into the wall, would love a resource on how to make a cat super highway without nails for small spaces that is affordable.
Hi Daggert. I rent too, and Bunnings hardware stores have suction cup shelves in the bathroom section. Several pet stores also carry cat stands with lots of sections. I've seen the same on eBay, Amazon and on American shows and videos. Like Cat Daddy says, don't go expensive. Shelves can be the top of bookshelves and cupboards that don't have human stuff in top like ornaments, books and plants.
Do people these days not know about wall filler and paint?!
Drill as many holes as you like, then when you're moving out, fill the holes and paint over them. The landlord will never know.
Just make sure you're not drilling or nailing into water pipes or electrical wiring.
I have the exact same dilemma.
@@StoryMing You can always reorganise your furniture so your cat has a jumping space. For example I have my bed close to a dresser which is close to a closet so my cats can jump from one to the other and end up very near the ceiling. Granted this is an IKEA closet so it IS bolted to the wall for safety, but heavier closets don't need to be bolted so this would be a way to create a travel road for cats without bolting stuff into walls.
Having a tall and sturdy cat tree is always great. I have one with 4 columns at the bottom, so it again doesn't need to be bolted into the wall, always check the instructions. And of course if you can make it yourself or know someone who can that's a lot cheaper but the ones I've bought have never been overly expensive. And you can combine this with other furniture you have to create a walkpath. I have my cat tree near a window and keep the window sills clear of any plants or anything, so they have this as a walkway and to lie on in the sun and will often use the window sills as a springboard to jump onto the cat tree while they're running around and playing.
Just work with what you have! I can put stuff on the walls where I live, but I've never seen any reason to.
I have been living with cats for 45yrs. For 12 years I was graced with the presence of only two cats. Three years ago I was adopted by a farm cat and two years ago December, I was graced with three rescue kittens. I now live with 6 cats and have been clumsily navigating the new dynamics with some success and quite a few fails. Through these recently discovered vids and the info being passed on, I am in the process of creating a better living space and life for all 6 beautiful gifts.
Thank you so much for all these vids as it has allowed me to learn much more about cat dynamics and enhancing their lives and our experiences together.
AKA "Catsnesr" amongst our neighbors, we sacrificed, purchased our house specifically for the cats, each with their own room inexpensively catified per their individual preferences,, the entire home likewise with minimal space left for our bed. The BESTEST EVER!
P.S. - "...the Raw Cat" = LOVE IT! Thank you (as always) Cat Daddy!
Thank you Jackson for ALL you do for us how LOVE our Cats, Kitties, your a treasure to learn from. You definitely have a great gift of sharing your creativity and how to best make our home an awesome place for our Kitty’s. The Highway I was able to create was because of your great creativity you have shared with all of us. I am truly grateful to you. With deepest gratitude Linda😽😺 My girls Love all your help to make my home their home. “MEOW”
I've catified my home for my two cats. They get interested in the condos, the beds, and the scratchers. Then, not long after, they're bored and having MORE FUN with the BOXES they came in. My cats adore boxes and tissue paper/packing paper, lol. I've spent so much money on them for toys and catification, but it's the **little** things they love more. Go figure. LOL It doesn't stop me from buying them more.
Cat daddy’s dictionary is the best, I love it love it love it 👍🏻❤️🤗
I always love your catification advice - and speaking from the cat point of view, it's SO important to keep the human esthetic in mind. It makes people so much easier for the cats to live with!
Making up words is a wonderful thing because it brings clarity and validation.
I just Love all of ur cat dictionary words....You Mr. Galaxy are a pure genius and will be remembered for all of ur extraordinary tips, tricks, helpful advice and of course ur pure Love for Cats themselves....I think u are a beautiful example of the perfect kitty parent and you have my upmost respect!! It is an honor to watch ur videos and be able to learn all the things that really matter to our purrfect feline children! Love u and All u do!!!!!....p.s. I really hope u get to read this.....😺😽💜💜💜👍👍😻
Part of my catification is just letting my cats use my chair, desk, shelves, totes, as a chair-desk-shelf-tote superhighway to run and jump and sharpen and chase as they like.
Also, the perfect crook in the upstairs window, just behind the headboard of my bed. It can fit three cats all chittering at the starling nesting in my roof. 😂
One of them has broken a few blinds off and watches the world out of the hole.
I don’t even mind any of the damage because I’ve owned cats for so long. I’m aware they wreck your shit sometimes. I accept it.
I’m also planning to add more shelves for them to run on in the living room. Once I can get out to a store and get some. For now they have a lot of under-over-under places to go, when they want to be away from me or each other.
I’m really blessed that they all put up with each other really well, and have never gotten really nasty with each other. They share bed space, and they trade off sleeping spots, and use whatever litter box is closest. I’m super blessed and I know it.
Hi Jackson, I just wanna say - as a linguist (or at least a linguist in training, currently studying in my 3rd year), I just wanna say I absolutely agree and love this attitude towards language! To (very much) simplify it, everything is made up, including language so go forth and create all-new words!! (I've also been rambling about cat-ifying to my boyfriend and he's all in for when we're adopting a cat of our own! :D)
thanks for letting us know!
Ever since I rescued my two babies I have done SO much catification!!! I am so thankful for your videos to help spoil my furbabies to the fullest!!!
I added just a few shelfs to my room so that my cat could get in the window and get up high and she loves it, she'll sit in the window and watch cars and birds go by. she'll stay up on highest of the selves and just chill. its made her more energetic and playful (along with her regular medicine) and more cuddly. you can really see how much she enjoys it.
update, she is taking a nap on the top shelf at this very moment, she is adorable
I found that building a cat tree that would withstand the antics of my largest cat (store-bought cat trees made out of extra thick cardboard weren't strong enough) was an excellent excuse to get all the power tools that I actually wanted anyway. I built an 8 foot tall cat tree that is so strong that I could sit on it and it was so sturdy that one of my cats took a completely mellow bath on the very top of it during the 7.1 Ridgecrest earthquake that we felt last year. Everyone else was disconcerted by that earthquake but one of my cats just kept taking her usual bath the entire time. The other cats hid or were already outside in the backyard. In any case, building a cat tree is a great reason to buy all kinds of woodworking tools and then you can build an independent structure that never needs to be attached to any walls so you can bring it with you even if you can't make any holes in the wall. It's really not as hard as you think and the actual cat tree materials aren't that expensive.
If you don't have any money (as most of us don't right now and neither do I), there are a lot of things you can make for your cats out of stuff you would otherwise throw away. I have made all kinds of stuff for them out of old socks that don't have good elastic at the top and boxes. A lot of grocery stores will even give you boxes and then all you have to do is cut them up and make something out of them. Maybe all you have to do is buy glue to create something out of the boxes. My cats have actually loved the toys I have made for them more than any of the store bought stuff.
I recently finished my catio and I’m looking forward to catifying it further!
I love your English accent! It's so pure!
Good to know, my house is definitely Catified!😻❤
Hi Jackson 😊 I watch your videos faithfully. We have a very small apartment and would love to get some ideas from you 👍🏼👍🏼 My Little Mimi is so spoiled already but I'm always trying to find new things for her especially because she is an indoor cat. Mimi really doesn't care much for the bird on the string Lol 😂 She is 5 years old and I don't think the previous owner played with the poor girl much 🙁 When I introduced my Mimi too the light pointer... she looked at in amazement and so curious at the different shapes it makes 😊 Looking forward Jackson too seeing more videos like this. You are so awesome and a blessing to all of us cat lovers ♥️♥️♥️ Keep up the great work Jackson 😊 Stay safe and well okay my friend 🤗🤗🤗🤗
I have a spare shelf that I will put up in my living room so my cat has another high place to jump. Thank you Jackson, you are the best.😻😻😻🙂🙂🙂
I have 2 massive cat towers in my place, the 2nd one arrived and I built today.
Wow my girl luuuuurrrves it and it looks so amazing too.
I want my cat to be happy over all else. She deserves the best cat life. From a previous dog owner... all animals have their needs and I love all animals!!!
My baby girl is so lucky to have my home
My cat's bed is a cardbox with a soft fluffy blanker in it and he likes it. I also catified my couch because he likes to scratch part of it to which I "attached" with tape a cardbox scratcher he wasn't using on the floor, but now he loves it!
Good to see lots of Jackson TH-cam lately 👍
Had to un then resub notices off not allowed changing.
Mho. Jackson most human guy on earth. ❤️😺
Funnily enough we actually used to have an occasional free flying bird in the house once, he’s since passed away, but the cats loved him. They would play a gentle game of tag with him, where they’d walk a meter and sit down and wait for him to toddle on the floor to catch up and then walk a meter and repeat, it was adorable. Granted all free flying time with cats around was supervised but they had a ball playing together
Thank you for teaching this! I started putting a chair next to the window, now I could save enough money for a big scratching castle. Now Im gonna put a bird feeder outside so my cat can have a better cat tv, as I like birds as well
Thank you, Alastair Cooke. My cat is ready for catification!
Hi Jackson, Thank you so much for all your helpful videos. Could you please do a series of videos around what to expect at a kittens and cats different ages? Care and development. Thank you!
Thanks to your great advice and tips -- you have given me the happiest MOJO cat. Love Sneeky the cat.
Y’all got a catification guide for broke people?
ArcticShrike yes. Buy cheap (BUT SOLID) shelves. Carpet them. Shouldn’t cost more than $50. You can also buy many cheap cat trees
Boxes, document tubes and a roll of duct tape.
Cut holes in the boxes and connect them with the tubes and tape the lot together.
You can get carpet scraps to line the boxes, making them more durable to scratches and give your cat interesting textures.
Cut a few holes in the boxes, one or two large enough for the cat to get in & out, a few that they can get a paw through or peek out of.
get rid of you cat, you will see how much money you've saved
Loads of examples from my experience of surprise cat ownership...
At the beginning I made a cat scratching post out of a load of cardboard. Pyramid/Christmas tree shaped.
I reinforced his favourite box with extra cardboard panels to make a den he could also sit on (his other boxes all collapsed) or lie in.
I also used the string and handles from the top of the litter bags to make cat toys and cut up the litter bag to make tray liners. Plus, I taped strings to the ceiling of cardboard boxes lain on their sides.
I filled a low box full of tubes from toilet and kitchen paper plus other things (old toys, newspaper) which I throw a few treats in regularly inc. inside the tubez and he has to dig through to find them.
I also made a mini maze from an Amazon box with holes cut out the sides (windows and doors) and cardboard walls attached inside when he was very tiny and put his favourite toy inside.
Don't need money if you don't mind how it looks, I always intended to spruce them up later but never got round to it.
100islandDressing shame. Cats are worth the money
We are moving and are really looking forward to catifying our new home next week. So far our furry panther has a new bed and toys to accompany her own room.
at summer our two 10 year old cats are so happy when they can and want to go outside as much as they want. They love it so much and get stimulated so much more than in the winter when they dont want to be outside in the snow
Tweezie1111 Taking them out on a harness and leash works best, otherwise they’re likely to die out there.
I need to catification our home big time. but slowly do that. I believe our furbabie is an Explorer.
Even though our cats are allowed on all furniture (besides counters and tables) we have 5 cat trees, several beds, and plenty of toys. 3 big cat trees are in the sunroom in front of the big windows. There is also one smaller tunnel tree in the sunroom right outside my aunt’s bedroom. The 5th tree (2nd small tree) is in my bedroom in front of the window. We’ve never had any issues with fighting; we’ve had 5 cats at one point but are down to 4. And there wasn’t any issues when we brought the youngest/newest cat in. The other cats weren’t sure but they weren’t aggressive with him, they just stayed away from him for the first week or so. We also have 5 litter boxes: one per cat plus one. My aunt has an old high chair that’s been in her family for generations and the youngest cat loves to jump up and sit there. She also has a child’s rocking chair from when her sons (now adults) were small and my calico loves to sit on there.
I've ordered a floor to ceiling cat tree and shelving to create an aerial walkway. I'll put carpet on them so they're not slippy. I can't wait to see what my cats think 😄
Really love the new beard.
Well since there is a pandemic and we are stuck in our homes, might as well start now for the love of my cats. Starting with a hammock. Just need a good spot for it and make it look good so it matches the living room the live in. There is a lot of flowers and gold and white and elegant paintings so I'm going to go with that elegant theme for them.
So cute!
Cat mojo to you Jackson!!
If you have 2 cats, use a carton box, make some holes in it, they have a blast
I have a chair by my living room window and he gets the top of the couch. He’s an only kitty but I’m retired so he gets as much attention as he wants lol.
Lmfaoooo the INTRO 😩😹💖✨ I can relate lol
I'm thinking about whether i should stay up until the early hours of the morning to watch this. I'm from Australia so its not easy to be watching these videos with the time difference. I might stay up until 4:15am in the morning to watch this. I hate missing out on these live videos.
These are recorded videos that you can watch at any time...
thanks!!
Hi Jackson! Love watching reruns of Cat from Hell and sooo happy I found your TH-cam Channel! I have a question for you. I’m about to adopt my first furry companion, but am living with housemates that are obsessed with plants. How do I make sure that my new friend doesn’t eat the plants and upset my housemates? Does deterrence work (spraying the plants with citrus) or perhaps giving my cat her own plants to nibble on (cat grass, parsley)? Please help!! I want my friends to love my cat as much as I will!
I installed a floating shelf the other for a cat I recently adopted. I'm trying to encourage her to explore and sit in the window. I'm watching this at 2am after she ignored the shelf and literally climbed inside my dresser. At least she's exploring...?
We had to have our kitty put down on the 23rd. The litter box being gone was one of the biggest things.
Can't watch live, will be there later. Cheers fellow cat lover!
LIT-TER PICK-ING
digging alot of litter outside the litterbox
or
FLAT-CAT-ING
when a cat lays flat on his belly. like a persian carpet
or
PURR-SUA-TION
walking in front of your feet in order to get your attention or laying on top of you or your stuff so you will notice them often going together with purring and meowing
Sorry for my english first. I'm suffering for chronic depression, I'm always anxious, stressed etc
Naboo my four years old cat is begining almost worst than me : a bang, a motorcycle noise and she jumps one metter high... What can I do to make her feel more secure ? Thank you!
Your English is wonderful!
First and foremost, your English is fantastic! Next, I also suffer from depression and anxiety- sending you hugs and love. As far as consoling Naboo the kitty- you mentioned that she is almost 4 years old. Have you had her those 4 years? Or is she a new member of your household?
add shelving and place your furniture in a way so your cat can climb up high spots cat trees obviously work and play with it
Yes! Langage is "living."
I love the words (and, books), "Catification, Catify!"
We should start watching newly published dictionaries and enclyclopideas, even "Wikipedia" for when those words become published, then "main stream!"
(Well, Wikipedia doesn't have it yet. If you need help w/that Jackson, I can help you.)
For those who rent, listen to the end of the video for ideas and get started on simple, portable ideas. Also get rid of the human stuff off cupboards, bookcases, table tops and ledges. Put smaller items close so your cat can climb. Look at hardware shops for ideas for non-installed shelves like suction cup shelves.
Please more😻
Hi Jackson! I am a vet tech and I work in an exclusively feline clinic. It is awesome! I am looking at going more into cat behavior though. My goal would be to help my clinic and clients have an easier time at the vet so hopefully we can sedate less and have a better experience with our patients. I saw an online program that is for cat training certification (it is a fairly extensive course lasting about 9 months), and I am curious if there are other programs you would recommend.
I keep looking at the shelves in back of him full of knickknacks. They are either glued down or it’s a no cat zone.
Get different shelves lol.
It’s a set, yo! 😂🤣
I noticed that too! lol
Been wondering myself..☺️
I am adopting a senior cat soon and what is your favorite scratching post for an elderly kitty?
Im a new subscriber and I needed to know if you have a video related to which is the best food for cats. Thank you
He advocates for the raw-meat diet.
catification tips for a hallway? I love with roommates in a rental, so I can't install any permanent shelves. My cat doesn't really like going into the hall or living room area unless he is specifically going to ask for pets. I love that he mostly hangs out with me in my room, but I want him to feel comfortable in all areas of the house!
What do you recommend to finding an affordable but also stable cat tree. The one I have for my cats right now is so wobbly I have to use weighs on the bottom to make sure it does move as much. I made sure that everything was screw in correctly but I think just the design of it in general was bad.
Can u please do a vdo on Sagan please. It's the lil floppy thing that some cats have.
We have 2 pugs and 2 persians, so it was important to us to put a lot of cat trees everywhere so Johnny cats and Freddie Purrcury have safe places
🤣😁 Freddie Purrcury 😻 Love it, Kat! 👍
Freddie Purrcury....that is, purr-haps the best kitty name EVER!!!!
I’m (keeping, not fostering) 2 brother kittens (who also had 3 sisters). They were 4 weeks +/- a day when we found them. These little guys barely make a peep. I’m not sure they even know they’re cats. They’re doing we love and doubled in size during the first week. My question is, how do we help them be cats? We want them to have the full cat experience, minus any more days outside. One kitten was alone possibly as long as 4 days with only water he found. They’ll live much longer staying within the safe, loving home we provide than outdoors, but we are considering harness leash walks. We had no luck finding a mom who could teach them the ways of the cat or even be a wet nurse. They only know bottle feedings from me and small dishes of mostly formula mixed with kitten mousse or pâté. They were loosely scattered in a local park. We believe the mom got hit by a car while hiding them. Updates from family home of the mom were she hid them once, but raccoons got one. She possibly lost a fight with the raccoons?
That’s “...they’re doing well...” not “doing we love”.
I have two blind cats (Matthew and Murdock) who are great climbers, but i have concerns about them being too high. Any accessories at the mid level or with guard rails?
How do you do catification that uses accessibility for senior cats? Do you have advice or examples of accessible designs for catification that are fun? I can think of ramps that could be accessible, but I was hoping there might be more options to use besides only ramps.
My cat struggles with jumping because she has a bad limp from arthritis (I’ve taken her to the vet - we’ve done multiple x-rays at different times, medication, supplements, adding pet stairs around the house).
7:15 does anyone know what brand of cat climbing tower is shown at 7:15 of the video? Would be perfect for my space!
My cat loves high places but we live in a very small rent house. He does have a cat tree but that definitely does not keep him satisfied. We totally want to give him more vertical space but we're not sure how to do that without screwing into the wall (which we can't do). We have no more floor space to set up furniture.
You're awesome JG! I've learned so much from you MEOW! =^..^=
Which litter box is the best for a kitten and are electric litter boxes okay for a kitten? 🤗👍🏻😸
Hey Jackson.
My friend owns two cats.
When its feeding time she has to put the food bowl of one of them HIGH up on a shelf and the other bowl down low on the floor.
Shelf cat is pretty agile and can get up there to eat but floor cat is thicc so she can't get up there and beat her up to steal the food. (she would, if she could)
The issue is: Floor cat will scratch and bite the owner every time its feeding time as if to say "GIMMY DE FUD!"
How do we get floor cat to chill out during feeding time? What's the solution?
Should she feed the cats in separate rooms?
I've recommended some of your videos to her. Do you have a video on overprotective feeders that we can watch? Hopefully we can figure this out together.
Unfortunately, I live in an RV and am too afraid to put anything in my wall. They're not super thick. Like maybe 2" total width.
No one will tell me, at the RV places, what I can use safely to put fasteners on or in the wall to anchor a post or ramp or shelf.
how do you get your cat to use the scratching post? I've put cat nip on it and placed it where he scratches at and he could care less for it
sit down some time by the pole with some treats, get the cat to sniff the pole, give the cat a treat. Get the cat to put their paws on the pole, give them a treat. Mess around with a toy or laser pointer a bit until they get their claws on the pole, give them a treat. Do that last step a few times until they associate claws+post=treat, then they'll start scratching. Do variable reinforcement for longest-lasting behavioral modifications.
Dear Mr Galaxy my cat is lovely she’s a teacup Persian and she doesn’t like to play much with a toy on a string but she loves to chase a ball if I roll them across the floor. She even does it herself when I go to bed or if she’s very playful she’ll bring it back by tapping it back across the room. Is this suitable play time for her or do I need to incorporate other things?
I have a made up acronym for kitties I have always used:
My cat is my TDT
(tiny domesticated tiger)
I have limited floor space in my small apartment; so I would love to be able to optimize the use of vertical space. But because my apartment is rented, any adaptation involving drilling holes in the walls is out. I am slightly stumped on what I can do to fully catify my apartment for my “tree cat”, Kiyomi.
But at least there is *some* ! With my poor first two cats, as a child and then a teenager / young adult, I knew nothing about catification. No proper toys, no spaces they could take ownership of; no wonder Tiffany went a bit stir-crazy and started pouncing people’s ankles. THIS time I did my due diligence and researched a bit before taking up cat parenthood again.
I recently made the decision to give away a very beloved cat. And my heart is hurting. I’ve been crying all night. He’s my father’s cat, I recently moved to Vegas. And he already as 2 cats & I moved in with my one female cat Mimi. My dad’s male cat (Ozzy) was very dominant & I tried taking all the correct steps to help them get along. Some days were good but others were bad. Well, today was extremely bad. Ozzy attacked Mimi & made her bleed. Then attacked her again earlier this evening. Not too long after I moved in he bit my ankle & I had puncture wounds I needed to get treated in Urgent Care. Today was the final straw. I feel horrible. I feel like I failed as a cat lover. I literally tried EVERYTHING I could but Ozzy is just way too dominant & can get very aggressive. But at the same time he’s a sweetheart who loves cuddles & love. He clearly needs to be the only cat in someone’s home. I wish you were available to help. He’s not gone yet, but I’m unsure what my father is going to do tomorrow & it’s worrying me. The tears keep coming. I wish I could’ve done things better.
Cat Daddy, my orange furball has a lot of acne on his chin. Any suggestions?
HSCP (high sensitive cat person)
someone who understands thier cat on a whole other level. for example: jackson is a real HSCP!
Hey jackson i have a problem with my 2 cats , so we just recently moved with our 2 resident cats in the house we were in before its like if they were best friends, but now that we moved they are being territorial and its like if they didn’t know each other.
I catified my home 3 weeks ago and I don't even have my cats yet! 🙈 7 more days though then they come home with me
For those commenting on drilling and nailing: if you can afford, wall filler and paint!
