How to Keep Your Cat out of your Houseplants
Author: ILuvPets![]()
There are many varieties of houseplant which are poisonous to cats, so to be safe it is best to avoid an expensive & traumatic trip to the vet by preventing your cat eating the plants in the first place. Below are some suggestions on how to stop cats eating your houseplants.
If at all possible, keep the plants in a difficult to reach location. This is easier said than done as cats are great climbers & jumpers. Place them in hanging baskets or hard to reach spots such as the top of bookshelves.
Provide your cat with a safe alternative in the form of a planter with cat grass or catnip for your cat to chew on.
Spray the plants you don’t want your cat to chew with an unpleasant solution such as bitter apple. Some people recommend Tabasco sauce, however there is a small risk that your cat will get some onto it’s fur & possibly transfer it to the eyes.
Provide your cat with plenty of toys to prevent it becoming bored.
If the above methods fail, you may have to keep any toxic plants in an area your cat has no access to.

CAT TOYS THAT ALL CATS AND KITTENS LOVE TO PLAY WITH
Author: ColleenAlthough each cat or kitten has their own preference for play, there is one thing common among all of them–they love a chase and they are natural born predators. A cat toy that will peak their interest is a toy that will seem to move on it’s own such as plush toys that move around or jump around when a string is pulled within them or a battery operated toy that moves on its own when turned on. Cats and kittens just naturally love any toy that moves or jumps on its own and they willl play with that toy for a long time trying to catch it or to “kill” it. Even if they do “catch” that prey, they will most likely let it go for a minute to see if it will move again. When the toy does move again, the chase is on again! These kinds of toys are perfect for stocking stuffers during the holidays or anytime and are a must for indoor cats! First Rate Pets has all kinds of toys for your cat or kitten at very reasonable prices and who can’t appreciate that during these hard times! And if you have someone in your life who loves cats and kittens, they will appreciate your thoughtfullness at buying their best friend a fun and unique toy!
The dish of your dreams
Author: DogsBestFriend
Anyone who has a pet knows that it can be difficult to keep the area around your pet’s food and water dishes clean. Dogs and cats don’t have very good table manners and can get very excited when it’s time to eat. This means that the food bowl gets shoved around, food spills over the sides, and the floor becomes sticky and dirty. If you’re sick of cleaning your floor after every meal, it’s time to look for a new dish – and I know just the one for you!
The Pet Studio stainless steel corner pet bowl conspicuously fits into the corner of any room and stays there, thanks to a non-skid bottom. Unlike a round bowl, this dish is shaped like a triangle so one corner easily fits into the corner of your dog or cat’s dining room. Even if your dog or cat likes to push bowls around, the non-skid bottom will prevent it. The stainless steel is durable and easy to clean, making it perfect for a dog or cat dish. For extra protection against spills, place a non-skid, plastic placement under the dish.
