EXTRA ITEMS TO CONSIDER

Aluminum Pans - Some times cats/kittens are attracted to the kitchen counters or kitchen table, however you don’t want kitty in the area where you cook and eat. Go to The Dollar Store and pick up a handful of Aluminum Sheet Pans and Baking Pans. Place them on the edge of the counters so they are sticking out about 4 inches. When kitty goes to jump up on the counter the Pans will come crashing down on their head and scare them away from this place. After about 4-6 times of this happening your kitty will have learned not to go on the counter.

Cotton Balls/Small Tupperware/Vinegar – Kitties love to dig in dirt, so when they see your plants they think that it’s the perfect place to play/pee/poop. This is a natural instinct for kitties but it’s not so nice to have them doing it in your home. Take a small Tupperware container and poke holes in the lid. Place in the cotton balls in and pour a little bit of vinegar on top of the cotton balls. Place the lid back on firmly and put the tubs in your plants on top of the dirt. Sometimes Limes can be used as well or Hunks of Bitter Baking Chocolate.

L-Lysine - Get the Capsule Formula from a store that carries vitamins. If kitty starts to sneeze, sprinkle 125 mg twice daily in their food. If green stuff is coming out of their nose, then you will definitely need antibiotics from the Vet. L-Lysine is only for common colds. Use for 10-14 days. Available at GNC, Drugstores or anyplace you would purchase vitamins.

Bissell Steam Cleaner Pet & Odor Solution – Purchase the solution, then dilute with water. User in spray bottles to clean up urine or feces accidents. Purchase the Bissell Spot Bot or Bissell Pet Steam Cleaners – they pay for themselves! Available Online or at Target.

Canned Air – Purchase Canned Air from Staples or Office Max. 2 Cans for $5.00. Keep one can at every door in your home. Spray kitty when you walk into the house and train them to be afraid of the doors so that they never want to go outside! Use the SSSCat too to train kitty to stay inside.

SSSCat – This is an automatic air sprayer. It is motion detected, so when kitty jumps up on counters or goes near areas you want to keep him away from. GREAT for the front and back doors, great for plants, counters, tables, anywhere. They are pricey at about $24.00 - $37.00, but they work great!!! You can purchase them at Petsmart or any other Pet Store. The air can be purchased at Staples - Canned Air, much cheaper than the replacement air that is sold.

Double-sided Tape – Scratch Proof your furniture with Double-sided Tape, it works great!!!
