Sheaths for Kitty Weapons

Since moving into our new place, our cats have adjusted well. There is much more space for them to wander about. One of our cats was picky about her litter box, which had the side effect of her peeing on all sorts of things. That problem was cured by getting a Litter Maid automatic litter box. We haven't had a problem in three weeks.

Our other cat enjoys clawing door frames, and doors for attention. In the short time we've been here, she's made her mark known. Sure, we could get her declawed, but invasive surgery for some behavioral problem isn't a good solution. So, I went to Safe Pet Products, and picked up Soft Claws cat nail caps.

It's only been one day, but our problem cat now has purple nylon covers over her nails. The solution is pretty simple, just cover the cat's claws. The nail caps are applied after trimming the nails. Just trim the nail, and slip on the nail cap which sticks on with super glue. For the first minute or so, she tried to chew them off. But she gave up quickly, and now just looks funny with purple claws. She even attempted to claw a door frame. Replacing the annoying sound of ruined wood surfaces was a squeaky sound. So, for now, Soft Claws works.

Do NOT walk cats


Unless you like dragging your fur ball through the city, do not walk your cat. Well, maybe you can walk your cat, but my cats become giant fuzzy lumps when put into a harness, with the promise of a nice walk outside. I guess it's for the best. Of course, they could get some good exercise, but they aren't exposed to bugs and such, and won't eat wierd things on the ground when I'm not paying attention. Maybe I'll try again one day, but until then, the only way to take your cats for a walk, is to put them in a kitty stroller.
