This spray contains synthetic feline facial pheromones. Pheromones are scent chemicals released from scent glands on various parts of the cat’s body. The pheromones released when a cat facially rubs are considered the “Friendly” pheromones. They have a calming effect on the cat and he tends to only facially rub in areas where he feels comfortable and calm. Feliway can be used in a number of situations to help your cat feel as if he has already facially rubbed in particular areas in order to help him feel less fearful or anxious. It’s also a valuable tool in treating inappropriate spraying problems. Cats don’t tend to urine-mark where they facially rub. Spray Feliway over the areas where your cat has urine-marked to help change his association with the area. There are specific directions on the bottle, but in general, you spray the targeted areas twice a day for a month and then once a day for a month. Spray 8" up from the ground (which is average nose height from the ground) and 4" away from the object. Only one little squirt is needed.

Feliway is also useful to help your cat during travel. Spray the inside corners of the carrier about ½ hour before placing your cat inside. Many veterinarian clinics also use Feliway for hospitalized patients by spraying the inside corners of the cage.

Feliway is not to be sprayed directly on the cat.  Only spray objects in the environment.

Feliway, combined with appropriate behavior modification, may help in situations such as:

• Move to a new environment
• Intercat aggression
• Inappropriate spraying
• Inappropriate furniture scratching
• Fear, shyness or timidity
• Travel
• Veterinarian visits
• Home renovation
• Suspicion of a new piece of furniture in the home
• Addition of a new cat in the home
• Addition of a new person in the home
 

Cat Dancer

This simple-looking toy is actually a very effective and fun interactive toy that’s well-made and durable. With just the slightest movement, you can imitate the motions of a cricket or a fly – something very hard for your little feline hunter to resist. Every cat should have one. In fact, I always bring them along on my in-home consultations so I can leave one with the family.

A fountain that circulates water through a filter into a reservoir.  The fountain holds a capacity of 50 oz. and is very quiet.  Cats tend to like drinking from running faucets and this would be a safer option than allowing Fluffy to stand on the kitchen counter and drink at the sink.
 

This product has been around as long as I can remember.  If your cat has frequent hairballs, she may benefit from using this good-tasting oral paste.  Petromalt Hairball Remedy aids in lubrication so the hairball can pass through the digestive tract.

This product captures a surprisingly large amount of the loose hair in your cat’s coat.  It reduces the amount of time you have to spend grooming your cat and it leaves his coat looking healthier.  It only takes a very light touch though so be careful not to be heavy-handed as you brush.

If you think your cat would prefer being nestled in a soft carrier, this is an excellent choice. It’s heavy-duty but lightweight, with mesh panels that provide good ventilation. Comes with a removable fleece liner. The carrier has both top and end entry options. Airline approved for under-seat travel but be sure to check with your individual airline.

100% organic wheat grass in an easy-to-grow kit. Growing some cat grass for your kitty can help keep him away from your houseplants (many of which are toxic or deadly) and may help with digestion and hairball control. Once planted, your cat should have fresh, healthy wheat grass in about 7-10 days.

This brush contains tapered rubber bristles that provide a stimulating massage while removing loose hair from the coat. If your cat has sensitive skin or doesn’t like to be brushed, this product may help him learn to enjoy the process. Great for shorthaired cats. Easy to clean.

For older or less mobile pets who can no longer access places such as the bed, furniture, or other favorite elevated areas. The polystyrene stairs are lightweight and easy to move from room to room, yet sturdy enough to securely allow your cat to go up and down. Zippered covered can be removed for easy cleaning.

For timid cats, or ones who prefer privacy during naps, this bed is an ideal shape. It’s soft, warm, and washable. It’s especially important for timid cats to provide them with lots of hiding places and cozy napping areas.

Record a personalized message for your kitty with the built-in microphone and then the message plays whenever the ball is batted around. Fill the ball with dry kibble and kitty will be rewarded with randomly dispensed food for nibbling as he rolls the ball. This product is a good addition to your cat’s environmental enrichment, especially if you’re away from home for long hours. Also a good product for overweight cats.

Do you have a dog who enjoys visiting the litter box for some snacking? As unpleasant as it may seem to us, the stools produced by cats can actually be appealing to many of our canine companions. Unfortunately, it’s an unhealthy, unsanitary, and downright unpleasant habit. Forbid can be sprinkled on the cat’s food in order to make the stool unpalatable. The ingredients in Forbid work in the digestive system to give the stool a very unpleasant taste.

This very unique litter may be a big help in dealing with inappropriate elimination problems with your cat. It contains a combination of herbs that attract the cat to use the litter. I have recommended it to many of my clients when they’re dealing with cats who are eliminating outside of the box. Results have been overwhelmingly positive. This is one of my favorite products.

Note: When dealing with a litter box problem, make sure your cat is first checked by the veterinarian to rule out any underlying medical cause.

If your cat is spraying or urinating outside of the litter box, you have to find the areas in order to fully clean and remove all traces of stain and odor. This UV light will cause the urine to fluoresce so you can find all of the targeted spots. Use the light in a darkened room and hold it close to baseboards, furniture and other areas where you suspect your cat has eliminated.

When cleaning urine from floors, furniture or carpet, you can’t use ordinary household cleansers because they merely mask the odor. The cat’s nose is very sensitive and can detect an urine odor residue. Enzymatic products, such as Nature’s Miracle, neutralize the odor so it’ll be completely removed.

If your cat scatters litter or if he tends to overshoot when in the box, this high-sided box is an excellent choice. It has a low entrance on one side to make it easy for your cat to enter and exit. This is an excellent alternative to covered litter boxes. I don’t recommend covered boxes because many cats feel too confined in there. Covered boxes also are not a good idea in multicat homes because it reduces escape potential if one cat ambushes another while in the box. The Rubbermaid box large and tall enough so the area around the box will stain cleaner but you won’t have any of the down sides of a covered box.

Cats need to scratch. In addition to conditioning the claws, scratching helps cats stretch their muscles. Scratching is also a way cats mark territory and express emotions. It’s a natural behavior that all cats need to be able to enjoy. To be effective, a scratching surface needs to be rough in texture. This scratching post has an ideal texture to attract your cat and is also tall and sturdy. Don’t use carpeted scratching posts because cats don’t like the texture and they often get their nails caught in the carpet loops. When choosing a scratching post, think of a nail file. You wouldn’t want to use a dull nail file, would you? Well, your cat feels the same way. He also needs a post that’s tall and sturdy enough so he can lean his full weight against it when reaching up to scratch. Place this post in the area where your cat is currently scratching.

This is my all-time top toy recommendation to my clients. It’s an interactive toy consisting of a wand, string, and bird feathers on the end. The feathers are attached to a swivel device so when you move it through the air, the feathers spin around. The toy sounds and looks like a bird flying through the air.

Interactive playtime should be done with your cat on a daily basis and this is a great toy to use for the sessions. Just be sure and put the toy away in a closet after the play session to prevent your cat from chewing on the string.
 

When you’re at work and your cat is home alone, she still needs activity and one way to add stimulation to her environment is through sole toys that inspire play. This sturdy wooden box has multiple holes in it so your cat can reach in to try to get the toys inside. With my clients I also have them use it as a puzzle feeder. Place pieces of dry food inside the box so your cat can paw at it to reach the food reward. Working for food is a natural concept for cats since they’re hunters. Every day, before you leave for work, set up the Peek-A-Prize with either some balls or dry food inside.

Cats love these tunnels. They’re a great way to increase the fun in your environment. For added enjoyment, place toys or treats in the tunnel for your cat to discover.

It’s hard for a cat to resist the squeak of a mouse and this little toy has a chip inside that makes a terrific little sound when touched or moved. Cats are very attracted to the sound of prey so this is a wonderful addition to your kitty’s toy collection.

This is a transparent, double-sided tape made specifically for use of furniture and other objects where cats scratch. As opposed to regular double-sided tape, this product doesn’t leave a residue when place on your sofa. The way to use this for furniture scratching is to place the Sticky Paws over the areas where your cat is currently scratching and then place a rough-textured, tall and sturdy scratching post right next to the area. When your cat goes over to attempt scratching on the sofa, she won’t like the sticky texture but then she’ll see the great new option of the terrific scratching post.

This flexible mat with lots of rubber nubs on one side is an ideal way to train your cat to stay off the counter, table or specific piece of furniture. Place these mats on your counter and when your cat jumps up, he won’t like the texture. If there is a specific chair in your home where you don’t want your cat to lounge, this flexible mat can be placed on the seat as well as being draped over the top or arms of the furniture. Outstanding product and my clients have had terrific success with it.

Cats love to sit at the windows and watch the birds outside. This window perch becomes a comfortable and cozy place for an afternoon nap.

If your cat likes to drink from the faucet or if she enjoys playing with the water in her dish, set up a fountain for her instead. It’s not a good idea to encourage your cat to drink from the kitchen or bathroom faucet because you can’t always be there to turn it on for her and she end up not drinking enough water throughout the day as a result. If you’re trying to train your cat to stay off the counter, then allowing her to drink from the faucet sends a mixed message.

Some cats lose interest in the water in their bowls because it starts to taste stale. The running water in the fountain stays oxygenated by the movement and that keeps it tasting fresher.

For cats who have urinary problems, are diabetic, or who are in renal failure, it’s important that they drink adequate amounts of water each day. A pet fountain may be a way to encourage more water consumption.

This fountain is easy to set up. Place it on the floor and your cat will have fresh running water so she can play and drink.

Pill Pockets for Cats

If your cat is prescribed medication and you have trouble getting a pill inside him or are fearful of putting your fingers anywhere near your cat’s mouth, this is great option. This tasty treat has a pocket inside for you to hide the pill. My clients’ cats have loved the taste of the Pill Pockets.

This gate makes it easy for you to block off an area where your cat can come and go but keep it off-limits to children or larger dogs.
