It may be that there are residual odors from the dog. I would suggest an enzyme odor remover such as ZeroOdor. You can get it online and it is said to be one of the best odor removers on the market. I… read more

I would like to get her use to a box, thinking maybe she will stay in all of the tim… Read more

Hi everyone,
I just adopted two cats from the local humane society and one is expressing dominant behavior by not covering her poop in the litter box. She also expresses dominant behavior over my other cat in other ways. How do I get her to start covering her poop up? Read more

Some cats are just lazy and won't do it, as unfortunately and annoying as it is. It may or may not be a dominance thing; I've heard both ways. But I've also seen cats in a one-pet household do it to… read more

I went out to buy that cat litter that is made of naturally processed wheat thinking this would be a great substitute for the clay litter. Wrong. It brought ants into my house. They came for the wheat in the litter and now I have an ant problem in my house. Back to clay for now. read more

Hi Lisa Bennett, Does your cat sometimes urinate OUTSIDE the litter box? It's a common problem with cats. In fact, it's something my subscribers ask me about all the time. Inappropriate urination is a big problem, and one of the most common reasons house cats are relinquished to shelters or "put outside". Thinking outside the box is a good thing, but URINATING outside the box? Not so m… read more

Tried all kinds of litter boxes with our two cats, including the Littermaid automatic box and the Breeze litter system. Tried two and three litter boxes at the same time ... tried changing out the litter once a day, even twice a day, to no avail. One of our cats (we suspect it was Noel) kept missing the mark -- peeing outside the box. We took both our cats to the vet and he ruled out any medica… read more

Spray away litter box smells This is an indelicate subject, but one cat owners have to contend with. It's easy to find the litter box in hot weather - just follow your nose. SmartScoop Odor Control Litter Box Spray may help. It has natural enzymes that the company says break down those bad smells. You can spray it in the clean litter box, and it remains dormant until the cat does its busines… read more

I know this isn't offering any training help, but I could use some training advice of my own. I have a three year old orange tabby named Stewart, who is, shall we say, a late bloomer at best. At worst I'd say he has the mental capacity of an earwig. I adore Stewart, both of my kitties are rescues, but Stew has some issues. I don't know if I'd call him special needs, but he can't drink unassis… read more

I woke up this morning to find one of Twiggy's Green Guys (her favorite green fuzzy toy mouse) in her litter box. Now, in the past she has dropped them in to her water dish (to drink, bathe or drown them - who knows), and she has put them up on the window sill (perhaps to show them the birds outside?). This, however is the first time she put one in her litter box. It wasn't as if she had covered h… read more
