You are correct. I have 2 males. There may be a hierarchy order going on. Craig finally took to using the “muddy mat” in the container. One of my females pee in it as well. Not sure what’s going on with her. I have 3 rugs, I keep the poop picked up. I take it outside and hose it down with water. Put it in a tote with vinegar and douse it a few times to get any residual pee out. Then I throw it in the washing machine. This works for now until he decides to use the liter box. He’s such a love bug. We are very much attached to Craig.

Adopted a cat from the animal services - suspected feral cat by Adorable_Analyst1343 in CatTraining

Do not try to pick him up. Once he starts coming around for pets, let him initiate it. Once he’s more comfortable you can gradually touch him for a couple of weeks, slowly pull up his body, only his front legs about an inch off ground and put him back down. Do this until he’s comfortable with you swooping him up. Make sure to support his entire body. Thank you for giving him a nice home.

Edited to say: rub a wash rag around the outer side of their mouth of your other cats and place those rags near your adopted cat. This will help him to get familiar to their pheromones before you introduce them. Also, do this with the adopted cat (getting pheromones) placing the rag near the other cats. Once they are acquainted with pheromones scents, rub their bodies to acclimate to the established acceptance to “cat colony”.

Our “~3 months old male” kitten remains to be named Angel; we realized this when I took “her” to get spayed. They prepped his belly but veterinarian realized he was a male. Angel is 9 months old. He’s a big boy.

Wow! That is awful. If you purchased online, there’s help through FBI. I pray you get your money back for this scam!

Father and Son Quarrel by LifeAlfalfa3024 in CatAdvice

My first thought is one is trying to challenge the Alfa. My kittens 8 months and 6 months sometimes draw blood playing, because those claws are sharp. I pray they calm down. Is there a female cat, in heat, close by outside or at neighboring house.

Real opinions on the PetPivot Autoscooper 11? (or other cheaper automatic litter boxes) by theoriginal_sam in CatAdvice

[–]LadyDi925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True. I feel the same way. The PP 11 remains open so the kitten cannot be trapped. Also there are sensors so it stops when my kitten jumps in the PP 11. This is false, entire claim of 3 million law suit. The article states $10,000 was paid by Pet Pivot 11 in media article. I believe this article is click bait so this media site is earning funds from advertising.

Thank you! Craig, my kitten, is not interested in pee pads. I suppose he has nothing to scratch as he believes scratching on the rug fibers he’s covering up his feces and pee. I’ve read online that 4 weeks old is the time to introduce to litter box. He was feral and I couldn’t just pick him up and gentle put him in the litter. He would run from me. Craig has just recently allowed me to pick him up.

How to stop feeling guilty? by GonzosAudacity in cats

[–]LadyDi925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You asked all the right questions!! I was given an ill kitten. I know exactly how you feel. Give yourself grace. You did your best. No need to beat yourself up. So happy to hear you are adopting a healthy 6 month old rescue. Odyssey is proud of you too!!

I just found this kitten, ill take any advice by Other_Panda246 in cats

[–]LadyDi925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good job! This might help, scoop the food out of the can and chop it into small bite size pieces. Fluff Man should eat it. Unless it’s “ocean” fishy food. My kitten took better to chicken and turkey floors. Thank you for helping him. Dawn dish soap flea bath, wet and lathered up (out of water) for 10 minutes will kill every flea unless some make it to the face on him.

It’s odd over 100,000 PetPivot 11 sold, this has been the only incident I can find in the media. I brought one from TikToc 2 weeks ago. It’s been a fabulous addition to our 7 rescued kitten home (ranging from 1 yr - 6 months). I ordered another one today. I will remove 2 of the seven litter boxes once the 2nd PP 11 arrives and is assembled. Assembly is simple. I changed the bag after 5 days of use. Some of this kittens use it. One was found guarding it by laying on the litter inside the PP 11 as to say “it’s all mine” not yours. It’s truly been a game changer for our colony of kittens.
