The Dogmother Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 would the water pistol trick work or would that be a tad dangerous near fairy lights? A xx I'll have to get it out I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Man Banned Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 our friends cat likes to sit in the tree - I took a photo of her cat Cookie led across some of the branches (she poses for cameras too ) and framed it for her. Such a cute cat but a tinker all the same! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellekatz Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hi Paola Don't know why the link wouldn't work Try it again later and see. I would use whatever cat litter she is used to ( ask the breeder) - at least to start with. My kitten Storm in on World's Best which is corn based and eco friendly but I find it makes a big mess. My older cats are on silica based litters like Litter Pearls which smell less and last lonfer. I find a covered litter tray works best (you may need to take the flap off one if it comes with one) and the bigger the better Try fitting a 20lb cat into a small litter tray .

madcatlady Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Hi Paola Maverick could never get the hang of the door on the litter tray and would just hang around looking desperate with his paws crossed. I use a clumping cat litter which is easy to clean for the house cats. Have you got the kittens room ready yet??

bellekatz Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Paola, places like Pets at Home usually have a big selection or you can find them online like http://www.pet-supermarket.co.uk/erol.html?gclid=CJeTubeN6ogCFTlhMAodHCgdig or here http://www.pets2home.co.uk/cat--cat-toilet--Toilet_Cat.html However big ours is , porr Taz still has to sit with his head out otherwise he wouldn't fit it - I'm sure Maverick has the same problem? that's why they don't like flaps or doors on them. They are great though as most of the litter stays in the tray! Best wishes Jayne[/code] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madcatlady Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Have just looked at your album Those Maine Coons are just FAB. Even with the cattery and seeing loads of different breeds of cat I love them best! Paola I think I have a (used mind you! but not for a long time) covered lietter tray in one of the sheds if you want it - if i can find it - you can have it. It is doorless !!

bellekatz Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Thanks Fiona - I too have had all sorts of cats over the years but I am totally hooked on Maine Coons they are very loving and docile giants - one day I hope to breed my own - if I can ever afford to get started - Breeding queens are over £500 a piece these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 She did once bat him across the room, but he was a lot smaller then. I'm not sure that he measn to hurt her, just is too boisterous and doesn't know when to stop Georgie is a rescue cat and was kicked and maltreated before being dumped while very pregnant, she is very loving, but scared of lots of things.

Hartley is merciless with her continued harrassment of Tigger - she's just playing like any other young kitten ould - she loves Tiggers tail especially, and she loves a bit of 'rough and tumble' with poor Tigger, who is thoroughly bemused by her. He plays along for a while, but then gets fed up, and has been known to bat her clean across the room, when it gets too much. Hartley, sadly is just too thick to take the hint though, so has to be shut in the bedroom, so Tigger can get some peace sometimes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
