      You gussed it -- she actually climbed into it and got it caught around her neck AGAIN a few hours later! But this time I was able to catch my poor dumb Tazzy as she ran around, and I then sliced open the giftbag handles before placing it in the garbage can.

      Yes cats are obligatory carnivores. I have seen vets recommend pumpkin as an external source of fiber though, but that was to treat symptoms like IBS and such, and you always want to ask the vet first! For hairballs wet food!! Cats are constantly dehydrated, and because gtey derive from the dessert they are designed to get all of their moisture from what they eat. So if you do kibble goats milk (non pasteurized) or water can help, but adding even just a little bit of wet is better than all kibble.

    I advocate talking with your cat the same way you do any other member of your family. After all it's not like they aren't present for family conversation or verbal exchanges all day. However when you spend a few minutes during your day talking to them rather than at them and giving them the love they deserve with sweet words and gestures is really a way to bond with your cat. You will know you are successful when they talk to you (not only when they are hungry). Another way to entertain your cat....play some music. I usually recommend classical, however movie soundtracks are great especially from Thomas Newman!!

    • @nakajhereg
      @nakajhereg 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not all cats like the same music though. One of ours is extremly into blues & jazz - but also likes classic (as long it has a piano in it). She can listen for hours to piano music. The other one is all about the mtz mtz and electro swing. The more mtz mtz the better.
      I agree on the talking part, though ours can talk your ear off. They talk a lot. One of them likes to shit chat about everything and have long conversations.

    The socks work great! you don't even need to get that fancy with them -- we stuff ours with polyfill and catnip & tie the socks off at the top & our kitties LOVE these homemade kick-sacks. We'll try the bell & paper filling on the next round.

    If you follow anyone who truly knows about cats, for example Jackson Galaxy, the last one regarding a "privacy" litter box is so far off its awful! According to experts like Jackson, cats dont want privacy, they prefer a litter with quick and easy open exits in case their first entrance into the litter is blocked. So he recommends an open, lid-less litter box in an opportune area of the house (like social areas). Also, even the bags of litter say 3-4" of kitty litter to fill it up with...where r u getting the 2" or less?

    Your Cat and my Kitty could be twins 😊
    Thanks for the tips.

    Take a cardboard box, pull an old t-shirt over it with the neck whole at the box' open side and use tape or yarn to fixate the fabric to the box and to hide the t-shirt's arms. Et voilà - a wonderful cat cave.
    And you can also use an old sock, stuff it with an old t-shirt and some catnip and you've got a perfect kick toy. I attached a string to it, it's one of my kitten's favourite toys. I use it whenever he wants to roughhouse with me. I uploaded a video of him playing with it if you're interested, so cute.

    Another toy you could make for cats is a ball of aluminium foil all scrunched up. I tried it on my grandmas kitten who is 2yo (2 years old) amd she loved it!
