How to stop my cat going outdoors across the road
My cat is an outdoor cat and I want him to stop going across the road because he isn't great with cars. He doesn't go far, just across the road to eat some ornamental grass there. I'm thinking of spraying across the street with something he hates like lemon oil so he becomes disheartened with the ...

My cat has lost interest in both her wet and dry food. She's been to the vet and is healthy but just won't eat. First it was her dry food that she's always loved, now today it's the wet food.

Hello,
I adopted a 10-month old kitten a couple of days ago. She is eating and drinking water well. She peed and pooped last night in the litter box. I don't know why she was meowing a lot in the middle of the night though. We couldn't help but woke up at 4AM. When we started making breakfast, she ...

Overcoming the cats fear of spray bottles.
My cat is a rescue and very well-behaved. Our biggest issue is her fear of any bottle that sprays or even looks like it sprays something. I need to use several things around the home or her that spray (not aerosols). Obviously, she was disciplined this way. It breaks my heart to see the fear in her ...

Cat won't eat wet food, but will eat dry
We adopted our cat almost a year ago and he's currently 3. We want to feed an all wet diet, but the problem is, he's so picky. When we first brought him home, he wouldn't eat wet, but he would eat dry. My guess is that he wanted to stress eat too. And we always feed him wet for every meal, and he do...
