Cats are a wonderful addition to any family. They love to snuggle,play, and just be loved. Of all indoor pets, cats are probably most capable of causing a lot of damage to your home and furniture. Between the cats making toys out of non-toy items and them sharpening claws on your furniture and walls, it can add up fast. Here are some money saving tips to help make your life a little easier and make your cat as happy as it can be.
Litter box odor is one of the biggest cat problems to battle. Even with multi- cat litter, the smell can get strong after just one use.If you have a small home or apartment, the smell will fill your house in no time, To combat odor, I take the powder form of carpet deodorizer ( make sure it is non-toxic to pets) and lightly cover the bottom of the box. Pour litter over as usual, and then sprinkle a little over the litter. The deodorizer has a very strong and pleasant scent that will be released when your cat uses the litter box. The scent usually lasts about 2 days.
Cats will find make a toy out of anything that they can find. Toilet paper, Kleenex, and shoestrings are popular choices among cats. They can make a huge mess in a very little amount of time.It is important to get your cat toys that they can activate or play with by themselves. Balls, fake mice, and toys that you hang from a doorknob are great ways for your cat to expel energy without you having to entertain them or having your things damaged. These toys are also great for the older kittens that chase and bite your ankles.
Cats will find any surface to sharpen their claws on. Not only does this sharpened their claws, it also files the nails down. There are wall hanging and scratching posts on the market but getting your cat interested can be difficult.Try rubbing cat nip into the scratcher to attract the cat. Every time you catch your cat scratching on anything other than the approved surface, take your cat over to the scratcher and mimic scratching with his paws. Also, if your cat tends to scratch on your furniture, get a fabric swatch of similar texture and cover the scratcher with the fabric.
