Meet Henry

Henry

Meet Henry, our resident house cat.  Isn't he a handsome guy? Notice I don't say MY CAT, as he actually belongs to my teenage daughter. She wanted a cat for her 16th birthday, so we adopted Henry from Needy Paws Animal Shelter earlier this year. Henry is about 2 years old and is a big, friendly, vocal cat. Since we live in a busy neighborhood, Henry is an indoor cat, but he loves to sit in the front window and watch the birds and yowl at any neighborhood cats that happen by. He also likes to terrorize our little dog, who is about half his size.

Henry has two other favorite spots - by the fridge (pictured above) and

by a cedar chest in the living room. (He would make a great Laser Cat, wouldn't he!) He usually likes to lie on his back, so when I caught him "sitting up" this morning, I had to snap a picture.

Watch for more pictures of Henry, and hopefully videos too. Remember, if you need cat advice or have questions about our products, I'm just an email away!

Discover the benefits of interactive cat toys

Anyone who's had a cat for very long knows that they are natural predators. They have an instinctive desire to hunt and kill prey, especially birds.  Feather toys are a safe - and popular - alternative! Some feather toys like our Feather Balls, Cat Rattles, Wild

Wobbler and Mousebirds are suitable for solitary play or chase and fetch games.  To keep your kitty more interested in her toys, keep some toys put away and switch out her toys every few weeks. She'll think she's got brand new toys!

Interactive play, where you spend time playing with your cat, encourages your cat to play longer and more vigorously, which is good for his health. Wand toys help keep your fingers safe from sharp teeth and claws - hands should only be for petting, not for attacking! Using different motions, such as dragging the toy along the floor and then waving it in the air, will help keep your cat interested.  And be sure to let your cat "catch" the toy sometimes - it's frustrating if the prey always gets away! Try toys like Da Bird, Feather Wands or Peacock Feathers for interactive play - you're likely to have more fun than your cat! And isn't companionship the whole reason you got a cat in the first place?


All of the feather toys featured in this newsletter are marked down 20% at CatClaws.Com - our deepest discount of the year! Don't delay - sale ends July 21st.

Cleaning the Cat's Litter Box

Save up to 20% on Select Cat Litter Supplies
All 5-Star Rated by our Customers!

Cleaning your cat's litter box doesn't have to be a terrible chore but you need the right tools - like our Litter Sifting Liners, which make scooping the litter box a thing of the past.  Place the entire stack of liners in the clean litter box and pour your clumping kitty litter on top.  When you lift the top liner, clean litter falls back into the litter box while the clumps remain inside the liner for easy disposal!

If you have knee or back pain (like me!) you'll love our long-handled Giant Litter Scoop. With a 20" long handle, this sturdy metal scoop means no more kneeling or squatting to scoop a smelly litter box.  Engineered to our exact specifications for durability and usability, our Giant Litter Scoop is available exclusively from Cat Claws.


And to keep kitty litter from being tracked all over your floors, a litter mat is a must! Our large, heavy-duty litter mats will stand up to years of use and feature a grassy texture that traps litter yet is gentle on cat's paws. Clean dry litter particles easily by just running a vacuum over the mat, or hose it off outside for a more thorough cleaning. Shown in Charcoal, also available in Sandy Brown.

Save up to 20% when you use coupon code W671 - our deepest discount of the year! Hurry, sale expires June 9th.



Don't forget, we have lots of great Made-In-USA items for your dear doggy too!

Questions and Answers

Go ahead, ask me a question!  Here are answers to questions asked by our customers:

.............................................................................................................................................................

I recently about 6 days ago adopted a 5 year old cat from the Humane Society. She's sweet but has been hiding ever since coux her out but she alway runs back to hide…what do suggest? leave her alone eventually she'll come out or…? I should mention the previous owner her declawed.
tb

Declawed cats are often more fearful than intact animals because they have little to no means of defending themselves, so the hiding is pretty normal. If you have other animals, they may be adding to her fear, so it would be best to keep them separate until she becomes more comfortable with her surroundings. Certainly talk to her, pet her (if she will let you), try to coax her out with treats or toys, but don't try to pick her up or physically force her out of hiding. You need to convince her to trust you, and you'll have to earn her trust - you can't force it upon her. Six days isn't that long, considering the upheaval she has recently experienced, but if she is still very fearful after another week, you may want to have her examined by your veterinarian, who may decide some anti-anxiety medication is in order.

What would cause our 2 year old cat to attack our feet and ankles?

Boredom, he wants to play, and he has figured out if he attacks your feet and ankles, he gets some sort of response. It's like a game to him. At 2 years old, they are still pretty frisky.  You can try some interactive toys with him, like the Da Bird or the Cat Charmer - playtime helps alleviate bad behavior.  Best thing is to get him a playmate, but I know that is not always feasible.

I just moved into a Rental Home - therefore I need an enclosed litter box for Mr. Trouble.
Do you have any suggestions?

I actually prefer an open pan myself ( the low-profile plastic storage bins that you can buy make FANTASTIC litter pans) but for an enclosed pan, I like the basic hooded litter pans that you can get at any discount or grocery store - they are inexpensive and generally much easier to clean and maintain than the pricey self-scooping models. The self-scooping models are great when they work properly, but if your cat ever eliminates on any of the moving parts, they are horrible to try to clean.
