Behavior Problems www.GraciesGourmet.com
Most people put their cats out in response to behavior problems. Litter box problems
are the number one feline behavior complaint. Trust me, I know. You may recall a past
article about my own cat litter box issue. I am happy to report that this issue is finally,
completely resolved. There are specific steps one should follow when they are dealing
with litter box problems, but here is a very brief overview:
Furry PetFriends
Care Services
• Schedule a vet exam to rule out medical causes • Spay or neuter • Provide one more
box than the number of cats • Avoid box liners and deodorizing sprays • Scoop box
daily, wash with mild dish detergent weekly • Clean all urine/feces stains outside the
box with an enzymatic cleaner designed for this purpose • Choose and stick to a litter
your cat likes, usually unscented, fine-grain, & scoopable • Choose the box your cat
likes best, usually jumbo size, uncovered, & shallow • Choose easily accessible loca-
tions away from noisy appliances • Contact a professional if problems persist
The next most common behavior problem is scratched belongings. Before you resort
to declawing or putting the cat out, take a look at these simple suggestions: Insured & Bonded Pet Care
• Ask your vet to show you how to trim your cat’s nails, and trim them regularly Dog Walks
Pet Sitting
• Provide horizontal and vertical scratching surfaces in high traffic areas Farm Animal Care
• Provide multiple textures for scratching, such as carpet, sisal, and cardboard Birthday Parties
• Make inappropriate scratching locations less attractive by covering them with and much more…

Dear friends of Lola,
Last month my dear furry friend Lola went to
the big ole’ doggie park in the sky. She had a
good life and I know she was happy to have you
all in her doggie world. It was her time, and she
went very peacefully. I’m sure if she could talk
she would thank you all for your kindness, and
her send off would be love and kisses.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED:
Volunteer Shelter Trainers Needed
The Little Rhodie Bully Breed Club Inc. is looking for volunteers to go to local shelters
and work with bully breeds available for adoption by doing some basic training with
them. This will help them get adopted quicker. Bully type dogs sit in shelters longer
than any other dogs; often they are euthanized because of lack of space or because
they deteriorate due to stress or lack of exercise. Also needed - foster homes for the
urgent dogs. Not interested in working with the dogs directly? Maybe you would like to
help with our fundraising and education efforts? If interested, please contact:
