Current view while doing our nightly #catsintheyard. There is a family of birds in the holly outside our screen porch that are quite displeased at my attempts at feline enrichment this evening!

What are your cat’s favorite treats? We offer

What are your cat’s favorite treats?

We offer a wide variety here at our house. It is ideal to develop a “scale of rewards” so you can use higher value treats for higher value behaviors such as come when called, kennel up, or learning a new trick or food puzzle. The more you ask of them, the more you gotta pay them!

Find their currency!

Pro tip, store them in small jars, Tupperware containers etc so that you don’t get swarmed when they hear the crinkly bag sound! This is especially helpful if you are trying to work with and reward one specific cat for good behavior or training. This prevents the whole household being alerted to what you are doing! Plus, they look cute! These jars are courtesy of @ikeausa.

P.S. Soren very much enjoyed this photo shoot!

“Whatcha doin’?”

Any cool plans with your cat this weekend? Soren is hoping for some #supervisedyardfun, a #catnipmarinade toy rotation and a #catstroller walk! All of his wishes will be granted! 😉

THIS is #TONKA.

Let us reflect on the knocked over cat wheels, the weights on the cat wheels, the broken cat wheel, I suppose you now see why! This is what he does as soon as he hears that we are awake. He also runs on this while we prepare his meals, great workout program. Notice how when he stops he looks to see if we are coming around the corner. Note, #Finn is on top of the @refinedfeline cat condo being NORMAL! 😂

Breakfast with Beans! 💙
He eats like a little Hoover. First cat of all 28 cats we have had who cannot “self regulate” and graze on canned food like a normal cat. I suspect he was strictly meal fed as a kitten, and perhaps only dry, which has heightened his obsession with wet food and made him crazy ravenous.
We have trained him to go to his room and sit before we put down his plate. In the past he would reach up and try to take the bowl out of our hands! He can have free access to dry in #foodpuzzles 24/7, but he’ll eat so much canned food he’ll look like he swallowed #Finn! 😂😂 @lickimat is also a wonderful tool for cats like #Tonka and we use them regularly.
Do you have cats that are obsessed with eating? How have you managed that?

This month’s super star is Lynx! Lynx was Shadow

This month’s super star is Lynx! Lynx was Shadow's brother and my first experience with a "lynx point siamese" (mix). He was one crazy looking little kitten. I couldn't tell what he was going to turn into, he was kinda buff, kinda organgy, a black tail, I thought he was a little mess! Boy, was I wrong! He turned out to be such a handsome cat and now, I must say, that the lynx point color pattern is one of my absolute favorite coat patterns in cats.

Quite quickly our household of two boys became four boys. It was so easy! Now as a cat behaviorist I can appreciate why. Once we got some opinionated ladies in the mix that is when the trouble started.

One of my favorite things that Lynx used to do was come up and "rabbit kick" our feet using his hind feet but in a standing position. He did this so very gently, like he was kicking the air, it was so freaking cute. I wish we had smart phones back then or I would absolutely have video of this behavior. I have yet to have another cat who does this behavior which is a reminder to capture all of the memories while you can.

Lynx was only 12 when he left us and as I shared when I told Shadow's story they were both diabetic, hyperthyroid and later developed liver disease, IBD and pancreatitis, triaditis. They acquired these diseases in a different order but they had all the same genetic issues. The benefit of adopting related cats is they are instant friends for life and have a playmate in each other, the downside is the host of medical issues and losing them close together.

He too, had so many nicknames, Lynxy dinxy do's was one. I know, we are crazy. It should be noted that when I first implemented foraging toys we had 16 cats, Shadow and Lynx were the ONLY TWO cats that would use the toys, at first. They were my little super stars. They taught the rest of the crew how it is done, and my foraging crusade began. Lynx, thank you for the memories and for foraging. Your interest in food puzzles changed my whole world and I am so grateful to you boys for teaching me.

A big thank you and shout out to @ormewoodanimalho

A big thank you and shout out to @ormewoodanimalhospital for hosting me today! They wanted to learn more about how to be feline friendly and ease the stress on their feline patients so I visited them today to show them exactly that!

First two pics are from their hospital and the next two are from Paws Whiskers and Claws, where I work. Sharing these pics as examples of some of the comforts we offer (mats on exam table, take the carrier apart for less stressful removal, vertical space in the exam room which they were already doing in their feline focused exam room! And food, I strongly emphasized the need to pay these guys!)

I think they learned a lot and I really enjoyed sharing the info and skills. I truly hope this helps their feline patients feel less stressed. @fearfreepets

They totally survived!

Is your clinic #fearfree? Do they offer delicious treats, non-slip mats and other comforts as well as low-stress handling?

Here you can see the two headed tabby monster enjoying @inaba_churu treats during their exams. They ate their deworming tablets in a blob of food right there on the exam table (see my medicating tips and tricks video for a how-to on that!) and they happily hid in their carriers in the cage, but were comfortable enough to come out and forage!

I’d say this was a banner day at the vet! A true @fearfreepets visit! It may help just a touch that mommy was there all day too! 😉
