Just like in real estate where location is crucial, so it is for your cat’s litter boxes.

Here’s some ideas and tips on how to effectively locate them for good cat litter box habits.

When you think about cat litter box placement, imagine if it’s a place where you’d like to do your business. We humans generally cherish a quiet and private location. Your cat isn’t much different. She’d like her cat litter boxes placed where she can feel safe while voiding. When animals eliminate, this is a vulnerable time for them, and if your cat doesn’t feel safe and comfortable, she’ll find her own location to fulfill this need.

Clipping a pet birds wings is a common grooming procedure and is necessary for training as well as for your pets safety. You might feel like you are being mean to the bird, but the fact is that it does not hurt the bird and can help to keep him from flying out of an open window or door and becoming lost.

No one wants to invest hundreds or even thousands of dollars in furnishings only to see them ripped to shreds by an overzealous pet, however beloved. To many people the obvious answer is to have their cats declawed, but it this really a reasonable alternative?

Its proponents depict it as a simple and painless operation, but it is neither simple or painless. Most people aren’t aware that it’s not just the claws that are removed. Declawing involves the amputation of the first joint of each toe, and as any amputee can tell you, the pain persists for months if not years. The only difference is your cat can’t tell you it still hurts.
