I have started a weekly feature on the home page of my Cat Coach site. It is called Cat Bits & Bytes. In theory, I will be posting a cat behavior tip every week on the home page. The older cat tips will be moved to a separate page, so they won’t be lost forever […]
In addition to scooping litter boxes ever day, dump the boxes often, wash and refill with fresh litter. How often depends on a couple of factors including the type of litter being used. Some litters absorb more than others. Wheat, corn and pine litters need to be dumped and refilled at least once a week—boxes […]
There is a short video posted on my site of sweet, little Olivia, one of my Bengals, closing the door. This behavior has earned her a little publicity. Animal Planet’s Cats 101 filmed her shutting the door for the Bengal segment that aired for the first time last fall. People are curious about how I […]
I forgot to mention one more product tester… me. I need to factor my experience into the review, since I will be assembling and attaching the seat to a window in my sun room. I thought it best to keep Product Testers 2 & 3 in another area of the house while I was assembling […]
It’s been one year… since I’ve blogged. It’s about time I wrote an entry or two… I was asked to review a product and then blog about it. I haven’t reviewed many cat products, but thought this could be fun to do. After all, I am living with the perfect product testers. The product is […]

I know it’s a controversial subject, but in addition to healthier cats who live longer, I’ve noticed that people develop stronger bonds with their cats when they are inside 24/7. I think part of this is due to cat parents seeing more of […]
I have posted pictures and descriptions of 14 of the cats from the big Lancaster rescue. Some of you may have started to wonder if these cats were the cat rescue version of vapor ware. I assure you, they are very much “here” and need everyone’s help. They have their very own page, which will become […]
The 35 are now 45… Here’s what the count is: 20 whole adult males of all ages 12 whole adult females of all ages 9 kittens 4 already neutered males. I hope to have more pictures up within the week. I have made appointments at the clinic for October. The whole adult cats will be […]
I’m inspired to write a blog about how to properly introduce cats to each other since so many people do the introductions too fast and in a way that results in stress and aggression. Introductions can be done with a minimum of stress. They need to be done slowly, it can take a month or […]
