Catnip Kitty

I am looking for a website/websites that sell novelty pet supplies. In my case its kind of specific. I have a cat named Thor and I was trying to find little Thor’ Hammer charm for his collar and I was wondering if there was anywhere that would sell specific items such as that?

Etsy is probably the best place to look.
Have a search for thing not necessarily for pets.

The vast majority of people on there make the things they sell, so if you find something similar but not quite right, you could always commission a personal piece

I saw a commercial for a new interactive cat toy over the weekend. I jotted down the website and then evidently I threw it away by accident. I cannot remember what it is called. I can tell you this, it is almost just like the undercover mouse. The commercial showed that it was 19.99 and if you ordered then you could get a 2nd one free. Does anyone happen to know what that cat toy was called?

Absolutely no idea. Never, ever saw that commercial. Sorry.

It is very hard to get my kitty interested in attacking a toy unless I swing it very fast from side to side, in which case she just stalks and runs up to it but almost immediately looses interest. She will play with catnip toys though. We have another cat that she used to play all the time with and although I see them sometimes it is no where near as often. My cat is 11 and I have not noticed any other changes in her appetite, or behavior or blatant signs of aging. She is not overweight. Is this normal for some cats?

You can’t expect an 11 year old cat to play and act like a kitten. That’s like expecting a teenager to act and play like a toddler. It isn’t going to happen.

Hi

I’m just wondering how much in average people spend on kittens/ cats per month?

I would pay insurance in full for a year so wouldn’t need to include that I’m thinking mainly food, toys, cat litter etc.

Thanks

Heya,
Firstly kittens cost more to start with usually because they need to be neutered, wormed, vaccinated, and have all the initial caring for cat items… forgot what these are since my cat is now 12 but it could include things like a bed, some basic toys, bowls, blankets and anything else such as something tailored to your cats specific needs.

After those initial costs you’re looking at food as a constant cost, the annual vet check up (strongly recommended) with vaccine, and the occasional toy/bed/treats e.t.c.
It depends on if you want to splurge on your cat or not.
You should get a good quality cat food too, research cats very well so that you have a good understanding (if you intend to get a kitten/cat…. old cats really need owners too ) of their health and what to do in emergencies e.t.c Plus I strongly recommend you research into cat nutrition and their diet, so many brands sell absolute crap these days, at first when you research it can be overwhelming because you may not know anything, but don’t let that put you off, over time you will build up knowledge..there may be a lot out there and you may feel it’s not worth researching because of that but trust me every detail helps and you will gradually build up helpful information. A good diet is essential for your cats health, remember cats hide pain.
You don’t want any with grains, fillers, additives or preservatives in e.t.c or loads of synthetic vitamins. It’s just feeding your cat junk food which will make your cat uncomfortable.
Dry food is strongly not recommended, maybe a little here and there but it’s not recommended you regularly give it to them.
Quality cat foods do not have to cost a lot, you just have to research the cheaper places to buy the i.e online or in special stores. The one I currently buy is called Natures Menu and that costs around £5 for each box, so approx £5 a week
————
Kitten:
Neutered:£50-70
Course of worming:£10 (not too sure on price, you could research this)
Vaccinated: approx £30 (depends on the vet and you might have the vaccine and worming & neutering done in one session so it will be cheaper, but consultations usually start from £30)
–Say all that’s done together it would cost around £90 maybe, it depends on the vet, probably a bit more because a kitten has to have a few injections before he/she can go out.

Bed:£5 (optional, but your cat should have at least one good place to go)
Toys:£5
Litter tray & cat litter:£5 (Even if you have an outdoor cat it’s always good to have these on hand for what ever reason i.e keeping you kitten in until allowed to go outside)
Bowls:£6 (you’ll need a few- always give a fresh bowl/plate a day- it’s recommended that you get ones designed for their whiskers, these cost the same)
& anything else I haven’t thought of.
——-
After all initial kitten cost.
Just food averaging £20 a month.
And pet insurance or at least put some savings away that mean you have some funds available if your cat ever needs to go to the vets. Never get a kitten that you can’t financially cover.
+ £30-40 for annual consultation and vaccine.
—–
Hope that helps, sorry it was lengthy.
If you look online there are tonnes of websites with so much information that will help you and give guidance. So I wont recommend one.
Remember a cat/kitten needs LOTS of love and attention too, they may be independent but they still need slots of emotional love

P.s Make sure you do some research on cat little, i did a little a while ago when my cat was ill and had to keep her in but i forgot about it, but research into the clays used e.t.c as some are dangerous and your cat will digest it when they lick their paws, so make sure you get one you know is safe.. and not just because it says so on the label.. people can sell anything these days.

I am researching how a person’s relationship with his pets influences where he buys pet supplies. Would you please help me out by taking my online survey? It takes two minutes tops. http://www.surveygizmo.com/s/57669/petsurvey

Thanks for your help!

Not quite enough available options probably for you to get a really realistic view..
I would shop at Petsmart more if they sold more things that were actually recommended for housing rabbits, reptiles and other small animals. I would also be more likely to shop there if they didn’t buy hundreds of ‘captive hatched’ (basically means they were stolen out of the wild and hatched here) ball pythons and then set a terrible example by cohabbing them. I would also be more likely to shop there if they actually showed the reptiles in the size enclosure they should actually be housed in, instead of 4 ball pythons in a ten gallon tank..
Perhaps more reptile classes for the employees too would be a good thing..
I do love a lot of things that Petsmart does though, for instance, PetSmart Charities Rescue Waggin is great. I love the showcasing of cats, so I can’t completely hate Petsmart. I shop there rarely though as I’d rather buy from pet stores that sold reptiles from local breeders and offer quality advice on how to care for them..

I have got a little kitten and he is really playful. I bought him some toys from the pet shop but he wasn’t interested. Does anyone know any good home made cat toys that I can make?

Gallon milk carton rings/lids are digged by my cats! Also empty toilet paper rolls, old socks can be good, if you have a flashlight you can turn off lights in a room and shine the flashlight at a wall and he might try to catch the light (works better with a lazorpen/pointer thingie), small pieces of paper, pretty much anything small (if you trust him not to eat it).

But some cats just don’t like playing with toys, he might prefer playing with your hand more. Which might not be a good thing. Just let him get his own ground on playing, however, if he starts clawing at the furniture you should definitely get a scratching post..actually, you should probably get one right now, just incase.

If you feel he needs to get out his playfulness/energy but he won’t play with anything that is good for him (or your stuff), you could let him outside if you have a fenced in yard or, maybe get catnip. Not all cats respond to it, though so don’t get worried if he doesn’t react. The catnip will interest him, no doubt (if it works on him)!

One of my outdoor stray cats got pregnant and had 5 kittens. Ive kept all of them and my mom will only let them stay in my room. I will move into an apartment within the next year but I need a way to get rid of the smell now. Its reaching dangerously high levels to where I get extremely bad headaches and my lungs and throat burn for several hours after I’m out of the room. Please help.

We have completely washed the carpet, cleaned the litter box twice daily, put ammonia control things in my room. Nothing is working.

And don’t tell me to give them away. These cats are extremely well cared for. They have about 30 toys, a cat climb and frequent vet check ups.
They are all spayed and I have 4 litter boxes currently

Windex multi-surface antibacterial, works like a charm, it’s the one that is yellow. I have been using it for years on my kitty’s liter box and occasionally she gets cranky and pee’s on blanks and towels so I wash them it that and you would never know. I have also used the Windex Multi-surface antibacterial on floors, walls, etc…. to get rid of cat pee smell.

The job where I worked had a professional cleaner come in so one day I asked which cleaners they used and the woman said they use generic cleaners most of the time because they are just as good as the name brand but more cost effective. She said the only cleaner she uses the name brand of is this Windex Multi-Surface Antibacterial because it works wonders on odors. She was right!
