My House is Not a Litter Box!

No one wants their home to be a litter box. I don't have a house kitty due to my husband's severe allergies to cats, so I am not experiencing any litter box problems. I do have to help clients with this problem often. A lot of people spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon yesterday listening to my  detailed presentation  at Prairie Land Feeds about how to keep your cat happy with the litter box.  This is a really aggravating problem and one that will land a kitty in the shelter or worse if it does not improve.

Kitty Cabin Fever

Dogs get to go on walks, but what about cats? Can they go outside, while being safe? They can! Take your kitty on a walk or purchase a cat enclosure so your cat can enjoy the great outdoors too.

You can take your cat outside on a special harness designed for cats. Premier and Lupine are two companies that make these kitty harnesses, which can be purchased at pet stores.
