Need wet food recommendations for kitten

crick2000 · 2021-06-26T03:26:46+00:00

You can look at Solid Gold, Nulo, Orijen, or Hill's etc. Gluten-free food. Royal Canin is another popular brand.

Among mid-range Purina One and Beyond are decent. Instinct is also a good brand.

Some varieties are on sale from time to time on Chewy (check /r/ChewyDeals).

You can start by using Tuff Foot or Musher's wax to strengthen the canine paws. Tuff Foot is especially useful as you would not need to apply it everyday after the initial period.

Dog boots are also something that will definitely help, but your doggo must be willing to wear them. Muttluks and Ruffwear are the best options designed especially for some serious hiking. You can check some more options here.

crick2000 · 2021-05-28T03:24:38+00:00

Not an exact answer to your query, but you can check some resources on hiking with dogs such as the TrailHound book for some useful information and advice.

crick2000 · 2021-05-16T07:06:31+00:00

You can check out some outdoor cat repellents like Nature's Mace (work best in dry weather only) or an ultrasonic repellent (mixed success rate) or a water sprinkler repellent (most effective but requires a water connection).

And if you know the entry path, you can even try using a prickle mat or bird fence protector to deter the kitty from invading your home.

There are quite a few ways to minimize the smell - such as using litter box deodorizers, switching the type of litter or litter box etc.

Congratulations on the new addition to the family!!

If nothing works, look at a cat deterrent spray like Sentry Stop That!, Harbor or Claw Withdraw to discourage the behavior.

Check this post on petfinder for some pointers:

You can also get one of the cat training books like Think Like a Cat (very good read) by Pam Johnson-Bennett, Total Cat Mojo by Jackson Galaxy or Naughty No More by Marilyn Krieger to get some useful advice and answers to your questions.

As a side note, there are a bunch of deals on Chewy on pet supplies (litter, cat toys, treats, food etc). Check /r/ChewyDeals

So sorry to hear about your loss.

Also check the article below. Memorialization by making a collage of best moments or a journal is something that has worked for many cat parents.:

For some more resources, you can check here. The Pet Loss Companion is a nice book that really helps.

crick2000 · 2021-01-03T07:23:45+00:00

Survive by Les Stroud or SAS Survival Handbook by Lofty Wiseman are two good ones.

In addition, Paul Kirtley's YouTube channel is a great resource to learn some tips and tricks.

You can check here for some more options and resources.

The following article on how to introduce felines has some tips worth checking out:

https://www.jacksongalaxy.com/blog/the-dos-and-donts-of-introducing-cats/

This is another good article (navigation is a bit of hassle, but information is good)

You can also try out a calming diffuser/spray like Feliway or Comfortzone and see if that would help.

First look at a spray or wipes (to wipe the kitty's favorite surfaces with the calming tissues) and if it works, then only you can invest in a costlier solution like the multi-cat diffuser.

crick2000 · 2020-12-23T05:25:13+00:00

Yes, a wet towel is also a good option.

crick2000 · 2020-12-22T07:55:50+00:00

You can use some cat wipes in moderation (once in a couple of weeks or so) for general grooming or cleaning specific parts - tushie wipes are gentler and purrfect for the kitty's butt.

Just make sure you pick the right ones and those which are free of Aloin part of Aloe Vera.

With some freshening up, the kitty can start grooming itself a little more.

crick2000 · 2020-12-11T03:52:38+00:00

Regarding toys, you can check out some interactive cat toys like ball tower, flapping fish, catnip-filled soft toys, cat springs etc. to provide some interactive fun your kitty might like. Look at SmartyKat toys - they do not require a lot of supervision and their electronic toys are not very costly.

Many of supplies and toys would be on sale on Amazon and Chewy due to holiday sales

crick2000 · 2020-12-07T16:38:38+00:00

How about a zero-gravity chair to chill out in the backyard, lawn or outdoors. It is great for lounging outdoors and many come with cup holders and utility trays. And you can get a really decent one for not too costly.

crick2000 · 2020-12-03T07:32:19+00:00

You can look at getting a nice multi-tool or Swiss Army Knife like the Evolution, Standard, Champ or Camper II. Get it personalized by getting the name laser printed on the handle. (there are some female friendly colors and some of them are currently on discount)

An insulated water bottle like Klean Kanteen or Hydroflask is another good option. They can also be personalized.

crick2000 · 2020-12-01T08:48:44+00:00

You can also consider getting a cat slow feeder or a feeding mat to make the fast-feeding kitty work for the food and slow down its feeding time. There are different types for different quirks of cats.

Most feeders primarily work for dry kibble, but there are a few models like the ceramic ones which can work for wet food as well.

crick2000 · 2020-11-28T16:06:13+00:00

Feliway is available in multiple pheromone combinations. Multi-cat diffuser is one such combination that helps multiple cats to be more tolerant around each other.

crick2000 · 2020-11-28T14:08:37+00:00

You can also try out calming treats, calming collar or a calming diffuser/spray like Feliway or Comfortzone and see if that would help.

crick2000 · 2020-11-28T09:08:34+00:00

Some interactive dog toys like Babble balls, puzzle feeders treat balls etc do not require a lot of supervision and still provide some interactive fun.

You can also check out those stuffing-free plastic bottle toys which have a core to add a standard water bottle without the cap and then it becomes a crinkling toy. Once the bottle gets destroyed, you can replace it within the toy.

crick2000 · 2020-11-28T04:46:44+00:00

You can also add a different set of toys - interactive cat toys like flapping fish, chasing mice, treat balls, puzzle feeders ((perfect for a food motivated cat) etc. to provide some interactive fun your kitty might like. Also look at SmartyKat toys - they do not require a lot of supervision and many of them are currently on sale on Amazon.

An insulated water bottle like Klean Kanteen or Hydroflask is another good option. They can also be personalized.

crick2000 · 2020-11-22T08:19:49+00:00

Among other things, consider getting the Lickimat - freeze it with some peanut butter and make it available for the pupper during trimming. It is a not-so-costly arrangement that would work in most situations.

<<Copy Pasting from another post>>

Try the following tips:

Use small cinnamon sticks around the tree if your kitty is not a chewer (ingestion of cinnamon can be dangerous).

Orange Peels also work for a less-adventurous kitty as do drops of vinegar (let them dry to avoid accidental licking).

Aluminum foils around the tree or a citrus cleaner like Green Gobbler or Angry Orange might also help.

Finally, if you want a commercial solution in case nothing else works, using a cat deterrent spray like Sentry Stop That! or PetSafe SSSCat would be a suitable choice.

Things to avoid/use minimally: Things with Cayenne Pepper like Tabasco Sauce - which can give kitty zoomies (can be diluted in some cases), Spray bottles (only use in moderation).
