\"\"Ever since I established the inside-only rule for my cats, I\u2019ve toyed with the idea of allowing them outdoor time in the sunshine. And I\u2019ve talked about catios and other types of enclosure on the market. Here\u2019s another one that could offer a cat plenty of room to roam in your yard. Have you examined the Purrfect Fence? Check it out here: https:\/\/www.purrfectfence.com<\/a> The company claims that even Houdini cats can\u2019t escape from these enclosures.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been seeing a lot of online promotion \"\"about new-fangled litter boxes. I\u2019ve attempted to isolate a few to review, but there are just so many and then there\u2019s the litter choices, and let\u2019s don\u2019t forget about cat preferences. Here\u2019s a site that lists what someone believes is the best of the best for 2019. Do you agree? Disagree? https:\/\/www.thesprucepets.com\/best-cat-litter-boxes-4151093<\/a> Wayfair has some incredibly attractive and discrete litterbox solutions and they\u2019re cheaper than some of the fancy automatic cleaning boxes. If I had more room in my bathrooms, this is the way I\u2019d go\u2014an attractive cabinet where the litter box is hidden and maybe the litter is more well contained. But would the cat shy away from entering the dark hole. You be the judge: https:\/\/www.wayfair.com\/pet\/sb0\/litter-boxes-c409564.html<\/a><\/p>\n

How about teaching your cat to use the toilet? Here\u2019s a start: https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Toilet-Train-Your-Cat<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"This site offers their pick for the best cat products of 2018. They include a folding cat tree. It looks rather like an interesting ladder for cats to climb. Cool. Also Jackson Galaxy has created a design for a new bed for cats\u2014he calls it a donut cat bed. Sure looks comfy. But I just bought our cats a new kitty bed. I don\u2019t know why I keep doing that. We have four beds now and only two cats. I\u2019ll bring home a new bed and it sits empty for days\u2014or weeks\u2014even in winter when they\u2019re more apt to cozy down in a bed. Lily has not stepped one paw into it at all. Finally Sophie curled up in it. She seems to like it. Success. Here\u2019s the site showing best cat products for 2018: https:\/\/consciouscat.net\/2018\/12\/26\/10-best-cat-products-of-2018\/<\/a><\/p>\n

What is your cat\u2019s favorite product? Is it something for cats or your favorite new throw or pillow? Maybe it\u2019s a basket you\u2019ve added to your d\u00e9cor and had hoped to use for magazines or something other than a cat toy. Our cats are fighting over a cozy throw that happens to have cat\u2019s all over it. Sophie usually curls up under it and Lily likes to lay on top of it. Last night we heard a commotion and found Lily under it and Sophie throwing a hissy fit\u2014wanting her out of there. It doesn\u2019t help to provide a second blanket\u2014not with these two strong-willed little girls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
