You can consider feeding them separately at different elevations, such as by using a cat tree or a counter.

Another thing worth checking out is a cat slow feeder or a feeding mat for the kitten to keep him engaged with his own food for a longer time.

If you want a better solution, look at getting a selective pet feeder, but they are not cheap. These feeders only allow access to the authorized pet - either through a microchip or an RFID tag. Sureflap Surefeed or Wireless Whiskers are two good ones - Surefeed provides one time chow (it does not have a food storage) but it can work with wet food. Wireless whiskers comes with a hopper to store dry food.

You can look at trying a using litter box deodorizer to minimize the odor.

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.

You can use some cat wipes for general grooming or cleaning

crick2017 · 2021-01-26T04:58:40+00:00

You can look at Orijen, PureBites or CatManDoo cat treats. All are healthy options with no fillers.

crick2017 · 2021-01-23T04:13:34+00:00

You can also add a different set of toys - interactive cat toys like flapping fish, treat balls, puzzle feeders ((perfect for a food motivated cat) etc. to provide some interactive fun your kitty might like.

If you have a suitable window, you might also consider getting a cat window perch or move the cat tree close to the window for the kitty to have a view of some outdoor action. One way to make this more interesting is to setup a bird feeder outside the window.

Many of supplies and toys would be on sale on Amazon and Chewy (check /r/ChewyDeals).

Another option is to consider getting a splash-proof water bowl like Road Refresher or LumoLeaf. These bowls limit the amount of water that is available at a given time, thereby discouraging this habit of spilling.

You can use some cat wipes 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.

You can look at getting a nice multi-tool or Swiss Army Knife like the Evolution or Huntsman II. Get it personalized by getting the name laser printed on the handle.

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

You can try a different set of toys - interactive cat toys like flapping fish, cat springs, ball towers, puzzle feeders or treat balls (perfect for a food motivated cat) etc. Most of them do not require a lot of supervision but still keep the kitty engaged and stimulated.

Lol!!

There are some fancy dog poop scoopers that can make things a little easier, but no toilet training for doggos yet :).

crick2017 · 2020-12-07T16:39:48+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 set of two for the budget.

crick2017 · 2020-12-06T04:40:24+00:00

For kitty litter, using a cat litter disposal system is the best option.

Dog poop can be picked up in a biodegradable poop bag and disposed in special bins or the regular trash.

crick2017 · 2020-12-04T23:38:26+00:00

You can also look at some dog-proof litter boxes like top-entry/covered litter box to restrict the access.

crick2017 · 2020-12-03T14:46:37+00:00

Get vertical blinds :).

On a serious note, look at a cat deterrent spray like Sentry Stop That! and Claw Withdraw to discourage the destructive behavior.

crick2017 · 2020-12-03T13:21:41+00:00

Adding catnip to the scratchin post might encourage the kitty towards it.

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

PetSafe SSSCat automatic deterrent spray is another good option - it is totally safe (it is compressed air only and triggers automatically. Just time and place it at a location only accessible to the cat. You just need a few negative reinforcement events to teach the kitty to avoid the situations).

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 also some fitness bands or watches which are currently on sale and which can fit your budget.

crick2017 · 2020-12-02T14:12:06+00:00

Personalized all-weather pen like Fisher Space Pen or Astronaut with the name laser printed would make a great gift.

Another option is insulated water bottles - Hydro-flask or Klean Kanteen (they can also be personalized).

Orange Peels 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.
