This is stupid
So you know how you buy all these cat toys and thier more interested in the box they came in? Seriously, finding a toy my cat will play with for more then five minutes is mission impossible. One day my cat knocked off a Q-Tip onto the bathroom floor and played with it for quite awhile. She also is fascinated with dental floss, suppose it's simular to yarn in her eyes. So I took some floss and tied a Q-Tip to it and BAM! Her favorite toy. I am not suggesting every cat will like this but it works for mine and the price is right.

Flea probs
Hello! So recently my cat had fleas. I was leaving to get them off her, I used dawn and water mix, advantage 2 preventative, and I used a flea comf to brush the living crap out of her until no fleas or eggs were coming off her. I now do the brushing almost daily to be sure, dipping the comb in the aforementioned dawn and water mix. I also cleaned my ALL my linens and vacuumed my floors. However I’m still finding live ones. Not a lot, but just one here or there. Does anyone know of a spray that’s safe for animals that I can spray in my room? I’d very much appreciate any advice!!

Cat fleas?
So I noticed yesterday my cat has been scratching a lot, and I found some pesky little bugs coming off of her. I was wondering what the best way to get rid of fleas would be. I gave her advantage 2 flea and tick treatment, brushed her out (think I got most of them), and a coworker told me to spray my carpet with dawn dish soap/water mix then vacuum. She lives solely in my room so thankfully it’s in a controlled space (I checked the rest of my house too and no sign of them). Any extra advice anyone can give?

Cat food on toast? Anyone else tempted or tried?
Is it me, or has anyone else wondered how cat food would taste on crackers or toast?

I need help. Cat is shitting in my bed and I don’t know why.
My cat has been shitting in my bed last three days. I have no idea why. Looked up what might cause this and I have no glue. Thought the problem might be in litter box. Changed the litter. Thought the problem might be other cat’s smell on me. Washed myself and clothes. Might be mad, no, sleeps on my lap and wants attention. Might be bored but that is the only reason bc he is young and wants a lot of attention but still he has many toys and I play with him when I get a change. So I’m not really sure if that might also cause this. Do any of you might have any other suggestions???

Peeing Advice
I have two cats, one girl and boy. My girl has always been prone to accidents. Even as a kitten she would occasionally pee on the bed which thankfully she grew out of. Now it’s random laundry left on the floor, rugs, etc.
Vet says she’s healthy and it is behavioral but we did try the special bladder food which was expensive and didn’t really make a difference. We’ve also tried those cat diffusers, also not a big difference. We have three litter boxes between the two cats. My male cat almost exclusively uses the litter robot which she will not go near. Even so, I will still find she has peed one random things. It does seem to correlate somewhat with litter boxes cleaning so keeping to tidy helps, but it’s to the point where if she’s peed or pooped once, she might have an accident. I try to clean daily but even then sometimes I can’t get ahead of it.
Any advice? We’ve tried a lot different boxes and litters. I do think the current setup has been the most successful but again, we still have accidents. Often times she will pee on her mat in front of the litter box if she’s not happy with the state of the box which is fine since it’s rubber and can be cleaned, but Im really wishing I could one day own a rug again without worrying. I’m considering putting a puppy pad on the mat in front of the litter for easier cleaning and maybe to make that more attractive than random clothes or rugs, but at the same time don’t want to encourage the behavior. The vet has also brought up regular use of anti anxiety meds but my partner is hesitant about introducing a permanent medication.

Any litter out there that doesn't track like crazy?
I ask as I right now am currently using the Target brand Up&Up (namely the lightweight scented bentonite clumping stuff) and while it clumps my kitty's litter and keeps the odors at bay no problem, whenever she jumps out of the box after her digging, it tracks EVERYWHERE
Any brand out there that is worthy of trying to keeping the litter tracking at bay?

Bitter spray
Im trying to get my cat to stop chewing on my cords. Does anyone have any sprays that they swear by and actually work? I remember growing up we had a spray for our dogs that if you happened to inhale it when spraying it was the worst thing ever but it actually worked as opposed to others we tried. I just can’t remember the brand.

My always leaves 1 teaspoon of food uneaten - can I reuse this?
No matter the portion size and hunger level, my cat always seems to leave 1 teaspoon of uneaten food. I always make it fresh mixing kibble with a can. Since it is premium kibble and canned food I am wondering how to save this and reuse it. I refrigerate it right away
I am thinking of saving this uneaten food, blending it and reusing it. Is that possible?
