Cat Urine Removers

The most important tool to have available when you’re preparing to clean cat urine is an effective cat urine remover. This is an essential part of the cleaning cat urine process – without an effective cat urine remover you may not get rid of the cat urine odor, or even the cat urine stain, no matter how hard you try.

If you’re not able to get rid of the cat urine odor your cat (or any other cats or pets in the household) may keep returning to the same spot to pee. The ammonia smell in cat urine draws animals to pee in the same place. Once this happens it starts to get more difficult to clean the affected cat urine area.

Retractable Leashes

by Susie

Retractable leashes are very popular for dogs, but if you leash trained your cat you may even consider a retractable leash for her. While not a lot of cats are leash trained I feel like I’ve seen more cats walking on leashes these days. We have a neighbor who regularly walks her cat and believe it or not it actually looks pretty natural. She uses a retractable leash and it seems to work really well for them.

A retractable leash can give your pet a feeling of freedom, at least more than regular leashes, while keeping you in control and keeping your pet from darting into harm’s way.

Natural Balance Cat Food

by Susie

I’ve become a strong believer that it is well worth the time to find a premium food, like Natural Balance cat food. You may need to try a few to find the ones your cat will love, and you may not be able to buy it at your local grocery store, but once you start feeding your cat a quality cat food you will notice the difference. You kitty will be happier and healthier, and you should notice less shedding, a healthier coat and hopefully less unscheduled visits to the vet.

Cat Behavior Problems

by Susie

If your cat is exhibiting one of the dreaded cat behavior problems — urinating outside of the litter box — take her to the veterinarian first to rule out any medical conditions that may be causing the problem. Once you’ve ruled that out you’ll need to be a bit attentive to find the root of the behavioral problems.

Cat stress, cat aging, and litter box preferences are some of the main factors that commonly contribute to cat behavioral problems like peeing outside of the litter box. There are some specific things to watch for to determine if one of these things may be the root of the problem. Once you find the cause of the problem you can work to remedy it.

Holistic Cat Food

by Susie

Because nutrition is the foundation for a healthy pet, holistic pet food companies develop foods that balance proteins fats, vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates into a food that is greater than the sum of it’s parts. Holistic pet food companies take a step above organic cat food because believe in healthy pet food that is nutritionally balanced while also promoting a whole-life approach to caring for pets. The belief is that balancing all parts of an animal’s life will allow them to thrive.
