are there litter and litter boxes(bathroom box) for dogs? if so, how long does it take to train? it would be a nice substitute for dog walking( bathroom purposes).

i currently owned a cat and am pleased with their bathroom savvyness. i might wanna hold off on considering a dog if they can’t do this and i have to pick up after them all the time.
why the heck do i see people walk the dog both in real life and movies for bathroom purposes so often? maybe its a misconception that dogs like can’t use litter box.

Why dogs get punished more severely than cats?Why am I told if a cat bites or scratches me it is my fault not the cat’s fault?But when the dog bites it is the dog’s fault?Isn’t that speciesism?

I live in coastal North Carolina and I saw my dogs staring out in the woods up at the trees and what I saw was an animal it had pointed ears like a cat, I yelled at it to go away and it turned to its side and it looked like some bobcat and it was a big cat not like a house cat and a couple nights before I saw a possom in the trees. I told my mom about it and we went and checked it out, we went to the edge of the fence during the daytime and we looked up and we saw a big nest in the trees.

There isn’t anywhere for the litter box to be on a table or hidden area. The dog has plenty of food. Her food does not have animal digest in it since I read that animal digest is poop and will give dogs a taste for it.

I’m looking at getting a cat and I have some questions:

How do I get the cat little box not smell – litter brand suggestion?
What is the best food to feed a cat (I have experience with dogs but not cats) – suggestions?

Does it hurt for the cat to eat the dogs dry food? The dog isn’t very happy but it’s hard to keep him away… He does have his own bowl, that always has dry cat food in it. He does eat a can of wet cat food everyday as well.

How do I keep my pet cat out of my garden without using a shock collar and without scaring my dogs that don’t get into my raised garden bed? Will spreading the compost work, cause it smells kinda like cow dung?

My 8 month old kitten has just been successfully integrated into our previously dogs-only household. Because of this, I’d like to get him a little gift in the form of a cat tower. He actually already has one that he used to use all the time,but since I haven’t been sleeping with him in my room, he hasn’t been using it so much. I was thinking about getting/making something like the cat trapeze. Any other suggestions?

Ok so I know it sounds really gross but we have four dogs in our house, a pug, a golden retriever, and two dachshunds but the two dachshunds, only them keep sneaking into our cats litter box and dragging things into their cages, we have tried putting the box up high but there is no room, is there anything that we can feed the cat that will make the dogs stop wanting to go in there?

Hey guys!
I have an 8 year old female Maine Coon. I will temporarily be keeping a 3 month old kitten for about 1.5 months. I was wondering; what’s the best way to introduce the kitten to make this temporary transition go smoothly?
My Maine Coon, she’s never been fond of other animals. She has been bred once, and she was GREAT to her own kittens. But she has never liked ANY other cats, or dogs.
I was just wondering about some general tips to make this go smoothly. Or any personal experiences!
Thanks guys, I appreciate your help.
