Play the Muffin Tin Game!

Eric Goebelbecker on January 11, 2011
With all the cats available for adoption, it’s easy to choose the cute kitten playing with its littermates or the gentle adult that comes readily to the cage door.

Worse yet, she’s been on her own for Lord knows how long and has been hanging around your yard. With cold weather coming, you don’t think she’ll survive in the rain and snow.

10 Tips for Improving Litter Box Appeal
Pam Johnson-Bennett, CABC on November 03, 2010
The litter box is very important in your cat’s life, yet we don’t always do our part when it comes to making sure the box meets the cat’s needs. Because it’s one of the least appealing aspects of cat ownership, we often under-appreciate the relationship the cat has with that deceptively simple plastic box.
Cleaning and maintaining the litter box probably isn’t your favorite thing to do but it’s crucial to your cat’s health and happiness. Litter box aversion issues are probably the most common problems that behavior experts get called about. Often, the cause of the problem is that the box conditions are unacceptable to the cat.
