How should I give catnip to a cat?




One of my friends is desperate and asked me to feed his cat a few times a week while he is out of town. Since I have a severe cat allergy, I can’t play with the cat at all. I purchased some cat nip at the recommendation of a friend. I’m just unsure of how to give it to the cat.

How can I make my cats use their litter box?




My sister picked them up by a bridge a few weeks ago and at night she lets them stay in her room, and shes really tired of them peeing and pooping in her room. How can i make them get adjusted to going to the bathroom in the litter box? My thought was cat nip.

what are some good homemade cat toys to make?




my cats dont like playing with store bought toys and i want to make them some new wons or even if you know of something in your house that they would like to play with just tell me. They already play with flashlights, lazers, tin foil balls, polly pocket rubber clothes, pony tails and fuzzy barbie clothes. also they are not aloud to have cat nip. thanks
also as i forgot, they do not have front claws so it cant be like a scratching post or anything. and the reason they cant have catnip is because my cat get to hiper and pee all over the house. they also love playing with medium sized bouncy balls if that helps anyone with the answers. thanks

Well, I have a lot of questions on cats. My parents completely redid the house, new curtains,furniture(well we recovered old furniture,but still)still rugs, new floors,new paint, and other stuff. They are worried the cat will destroy the furniture. Do scratching posts really keep them from scratching furniture or stuff? I found a cat I liked and she is 2 years old and seems really nice, she is a bit of a lap cat which I would not mind. Can you put dried cat nip in scratching post which will attract the cat to it more then the furniture? So yeah. Thanks!
She is at a shelter. I met her there once when I wen to go and look. Sometime they have nice big bios, but I only saw a small one.
She had kittens about 6 months ago and the worker said when they have kittens at a younger age they are smaller cats, and she is a small cat. Bigger then a kitten but smaller then an average cat.
There also is a kitten tabby I like who seemed calm, but I don’t know.
My parents wont declaw a cat. They know it is very mean.

Why does catnip make my cat act so weird?




My friend came over one day with a little trial size bag of cat nip. He gave it to me and said to feed it to my cat. I did that and she started rubbing up against our legs and clawing at our jeans. He said cat nip has the same effect on cats as ecstasy does to humans…

What would happen if a human ate cat nip?

Cat Toys? I'm wasting my money on them….?




I adopted a cat a few months back. He’s a tiger strip tabby a little over a year now about 15lbs.

Anyway…I buy all these toys and he only plays with "water bottle caps" …he loves them…so my question is what other NONE cat toys are there that you recommend. I bought him a big a$$ ball of yarn (seriously the ball is HUGE about the size of a car tire)…he’s afraid of it I think b/c it’s so large

I let him bite on my hand. He’s learned not to claw the sh*t out of me when I pick him up now.

Another thing….those damn scratch pads….how do I get him to use them before he claws up all my sh*t? I bought the pads and all and cat nip spray (hell I even bought the damn plant) …rubbed it on the pads and he looks at the pad and laughs.

I don’t want to have him de clawed. My last cat was but I took him in full grown set in his ways. I don’t want this cat to go insane on me if I declaw him. plus I want him to keep his claws to attack intruders.

help a bruh out!!!

Help with Cat Scratching Furniture?




We just recently bought a new living room suite and our cats are now scratching it to pieces. We have tried squirting with water and that doesn’t work. They have a scratching post and don’t like it or cat nip. Tape won’t work because it’s not a certain spot they scratch its all over, so I can cover my whole furniture with tape. lol I have read that using a citrus spay will help keep them away from furniture, but I am having a hard time finding something to use on upholstery. I don’t want it to stain my furniture, just keep the cats off. If anyone could give me any suggestions on how to make a citrus spray myself that is safe or where to buy one that would be great.

Thanks!

I have bought her a scratching post, rubbed cat nip on the post, and still nothing. All she does on the scratching post is rub her head on it and purr lol

She’s only 10 weeks old. She doesn’t seem to interested and I’ve read that cat nip doesn’t work so well for kittens. I’ve tried taking her to the post and prop her up and showed her how to scratch but she runs off anyway.
