Give Me I feed the stray cats...

Try to feed stray or home kitties more wet than dry food, tho i know dry kibbles are more convenient n more acceptable by the fussy kitties but if kitties are not getting enuff water they may be subjected to develop CKD n it is an ugly disease...:(

Are water fountains effective in getting them to drink more water?

Hi all, I’ve adopted a 5mth old kitten a few days ago and I’m a first time owner.
I bought a new pack of Taste of the Wild Rocky Mountain Feline for her but she doesn’t want to eat them. She takes a sniff and then walks away. I’ve tried soaking them in water and also in kitten milk but didn’t work.
I also tried mixing the soaked up ones with some canned food gravy, even then, she did not finish all (only 17 pellets) of it.
Edit: Any suggestions on other ways I can encourage and get her to eat them? Thank you in advance!

Patience is key here. :)
Perhaps you can buy different brands in smallest packs (try to see which one she likes) and mix it with the TotW. It's trial and error situation to see what she likes. Same with litter. If they don't like it, they don't like it.

Okay I shall try out Solid Gold Indigo Moon.
Yes I got her the crystal kind of litter but she didn’t want to use, peed on the floor instead. Then I bought Cat’s Best, mixed them together and it was like magic... haha.

:s13:
I'm also using Cat's Best, never had a problem since the first day.
After the crystal kind litter you have finished, perhaps you can just use the pine litter only. :)

Hey, thanks for offering me samples Lss! Not sure why, but she has started to eat the TOTW. I’ll probably still get a pack of Indigo Moon or Orijen to increase her variety for kibbles. :)

Complete set of bedroom, living room furniture for cats created by Japanese woodworking companies

Videos show off nicer bed and sofa than we have in our human homes.

The Fukuoka Prefecture city of Okawa is home to a pair of interior design companies, Hiromatsu Furniture and Tateno Wood Art Co. Their commitment to craftsmanship is a source of pride for the local community, and so Okawa City’s official YouTube channel recently released a series of videos to showcase the companies’ skills.

The first of the videos opens on a scene of a tastefully appointed bedroom. There’s a wide bed with a pair of pillows. A wooden bedtable with a lamp sitting atop it, a potted plant, and up on the wall, a set of fluffy curtains shuffling subtly in the breeze. Elegantly understated and comforting, it’s a bedroom any person would be happy to have.



Accompanied by the sound of chirping birds, a kitty creeps into the frame, climbs onto the mattress, and settles in to enjoy its pillowy softness. Much like the water dress photography we were amazed by the other day, there’s no CG trickery at play here, nor are these repurposed toys like Ikea’s doll beds. Hiromatsu and Tateno’s designers simply put together and entire bedroom set sized to housecat-scale.

Of course, you can’t stay in bed all-day long, so the two companies have also produced cat-use living room furniture as well.



But why make furniture for cats? The extended, narrated video explains that if Hiromatsu and Tateno can make furnishings that satisfy cats, capricious creatures who generally make fulfilling their own desires their primary priority, they’re confident they can make furniture that will satisfy human beings too.




If you’re wondering why throwing fistfuls of cash at your monitor has yet to make cat furniture appear in your home, it’s because these items aren’t available to the general public…yet. But thanks to the positive reaction the videos are getting, the companies are looking into the feasibility of producing the pieces for sale, or perhaps as part of Japan’s Furusato Nozei system in which rewards are offered in exchange for voluntary donations to regional municipalities.

While Furusato Nozei literally translates to “Hometown Tax,” the system allows, and is largely designed for, donations from non-residents, so if and when Okawa does decide to offer cat furniture as a reward, it can probably expect donations to start flooding in from cat lovers far beyond just its city limits.

their hometown tax is interesting

see on instagram, people will 'donate tax' to ulu agricultural specialist areas, then receive very very nice fruits as 'gifts'.. sort of like just buying from there and driving their local economy
