Most cat owners consider cat litter to be a part of owning a cat. However with some patience and perseverance cat owners can toilet train their cats to get rid of the cat litter problem once and for all.
One of the most efficient ways of toilet training your cat is to buy a litter tray. The tray is available in various shapes, sizes and colors at any pet shop. Place the tray in an area easily accessible to the cat and far from the cats sleeping and eating area.
Always use the tray a few weeks before toilet training your cat. As soon as you see the cat is comfortable using the tray change the location to near your bathroom and let it be there for a few weeks. Increase the height of the tray gradually and once the cat is comfortable using the tray on a stack or piles of newspapers shift the tray to the toilet seat to replace it with a metal pan or bowl.
You might have to place the same litter in the metal bowl for a few days and soon your cat will be toilet trained to give you a litter free home.
Overweight Cats – Getting Common

It’s a funny fact that humans are not the only species in the world that have to face the problem of overweight. In fact pets such as cats have to face the problem as well. The facts and figure indicate that there are about 40 % of Overweight Cats. This is a pretty high number. Only 5 to 10 % of cats are believed to be in the normal category. Veterinary doctors have always advised the pet owners to take special care of their pets so that they don’t get over weight.
Reason for Overweight
It is known fact that there are more cats than dogs in the United States of America and many of these cats are believed to be Overweight Cats. So what basically causes these cats to be overweight? The answer to this issue is simple; if you eat more than you burn then you get over weight. Most of you might question is this really the reason? Well the real fact is yes this is. It’s a simple as that.
How to avoid Overweight
The logical way to avoid overweight is to feed your cat or pet only the amount of food that it requires. What this means is that there is no need for extra meals. Some time pet owners come to the doctor and say that they don’t overfeed their pets, yet they become overweight. The doctors simply reply to this by saying that there is no other source of food other than the pet owners themselves.
So to conclude the topic all we need to do is to make sure that appropriate food is given to the cats and they are given proper opportunity for exercise as well.
