I have 2 cats, aged 4 and 3. The older one is a model cat, perfect, The younger one is a nightmare. Ever since I have had him I have been wiating in hope that he changes but no and now I have a baby son its just making my life a constatn misery.
What can I do? Cat in question is so naughty, has destoyed my house, every room has wall paper hanging off, he jumps up places he knows he is not allowed and knocks things over, this is a seriocu cncern now I have my baby. Already he has almost hit my son on the head when he has knpcke things over, so I now I have to chut him out the front room almost all day, which I odnt want to do.
Im just at the end of my tether and am thinking I cant go on with this animal. He destroys everything like today I went to the supermarket, and put my shopping in the house then while I was getting my son out of his coat etc the cat went into the shopping bacg and ripped into a bag of moist facial wipes therefore destroying the whole bag. This is commong ie he is banned from the kitchen also as he ruins all my food, and eats things like plastic bags and rips the bin liners open. I cant even have a bin in my bed room.
He is banned from the bathroom as thats where I keep all my baby things, which he would rip open, but instead he rips up the carpet outside and I have got stuck in there, Im just terrified of what this cat will do next and really cant cope anymore.
Its really upsetting for me and means I shout a lot which is upsetting for my baby boy,
we live on a main road so i cant let them out as I feel they would not last long at all.
I just dont know what to do anymore, the though of re-homing my cat breaks my heart but what else can I do?
There are loads of cat toys, towers and scratch posts in the house and lots of windows for them to look out of.

I feel like a horrible cat owner =(?




I currently own 2 male (fixed) tuxedo cats. They are both indoor.

The other night, I come home to my appt and my door is WIDE open and both cats are gone. Thankfully I got them back.

But since Ace (the oldest) has been meowing at the door, clawing at it, or falling asleep by it.

Its breaking my heart! I want to let him out so badly but there are MANY ferral cats/dogs/coyotes in my area. Plus my apartment is RIGHT on the road.

I try my best to keep them intertained. They have a 9ft cat tree. A 3ftx3ft cat tent. A crinkly tunnel thing, and PLENTLY of cat toys. I leave 2 windows open all the time for them to look out or sunbath themselves.

I still feel bad. I mean, I live in a small place.. a studio apartment.. is there anything else I can do to keep them stimulated??

thank you!

Home made cat toys - cheese on a string?




Have any of you tried this? I got a bamboo BBQ skewer thing and attached some string to it (not the one where the fibers come off easily, they’re dangerous) so I can attach a bit of cheddar to the end and let my cat chase it.

What are some more good ideas for homemade cat toys?
Pie - can’t I use the whole mouse, or does it have to be just the tail? And which of my cat’s eyes do I shove it in? I’m so confused :(

Anyone given cat or children's toys to their dog?




My Kelpie x Foxie loves chasing anything that moves and I was wondering whether giving her cat toys such as those moving mice would be appropriate?

Also, can children’s squeaky toys be given as an alternative to ones specially for dogs?

I just bought the catnip spray a few days ago along with cat toys. When i reached home, i sprayed the catnip on the cat toys. But my kitten isn’t interested at all at the toys. What is wrong?

see, this cat is about eight years old and lived on my great uncles farm until yesterday, and has shown no interest in cat toys and I feel like the only time she has much fun is when my mom or I go down and pet her. Is there anything she might like?

Why is my cat so destructive?




I bought my cat over 0.00 worth of toys. A crinkly tunnel and circle thing that he can swat the things inside, a thing with toys hanging off it. A toy the wobbles and fake flies fly around in it. A toy that spins. And small cat toys that he can bat around the house.. .im sure im missing somethings…
but he likes to climb on my daughters dresser and knock eveything down instead, or on any counters or even under her bed and grab things and take off with them.
We play with him with a feather toy…laser light…. he gets treats…
I dont understand why he likes to destroy things and wreck the house… He hardly ever plays with "his" toys….
And its not that they are not interesting..
please help!
