Mews, A Very Quick MeowSpace® Learner!
CLICK FOR MORE CUSTOMER REVIEWS… Just received from a recent MeowSpace® customer, Marie S., from San Francisco: Hi Casey, I just wanted to send you a quick update–the Meowspace arrived very quickly, and when we found an evening early last week to set it up we were both surprised that it only took a few minutes! Excellent instructions, very easy to follow. We taped open the door for two days and fed the cats some treats inside so they were very comfortable with it. Then it was time to teach Mews, the Meowspace cat, how to use it. It only took one time! I spent 20 or so minutes showing him how it works, motivating him to come in and out with his favorite treat, bonito flakes. He didn’t really push the door by himself with me there, and both going in and out I had to start him gently on his way through, but it was late so I put some dry food inside and went to bed. In the morning the food inside the Meowspace was more »
Another Fat Cat Skinny Cat Success Story
This just in from another happy MeowSpace® user: “For over eight years our kitty that is too heavy ate the food of our kitty that is too thin. In just three days the thin kitty learned how to enter MeowSpace. Now she is gaining weight in the comfort and security of her own space. And the stealing food kitty is losing [weight]. Thank you so very much for an easy solution!” -Terry Andrews Terry did everything right. First, she bought a MeowSpace®. When she received it, she called us for support and help to clarify her understanding of the workings of the multi-magnetic locking pet door that was included with her particular unit. She discussed training ideas with me, and did everything we talked about. She called me direct to let me know that it only took one day for her kitty to learn to use the MeowSpace®. Thanks, Terry, for proving the amazing effectiveness of the MeowSpace®, and for taking the time to call me, write up a supportive statement, and allowing me to post it. Give Lucy and more »
Obesity in Cats
Almost every day, sometimes more than once, I hear people say, “Oh, my cat is fat!” Sometimes they tack on other statements to go along with the first: “…but he’s so cute that way!” or “…and there’s nothing I can do about it.” Inevitably, if there is another cat in the same house, they say, “…and my other cat is so skinny because the fat one steals his food.” I usually ask them if this is a problem for them, and most answer something like this: “Huge! It’s a huge problem, and I’m so frustrated. My vet tells me to separate them when they eat, and only feed them twice a day. But I can’t get my skinny cat to eat all his food at once. I’ve even tried starving him for several days, and he still will only nibble a little at a time. But when I leave the food down for him, the fat one eats it. Yes, it’s a very aggravating and huge problem for me. I don’t want to lock them away from each other all more »
Cat Habits are Habit Forming
Cat habits become people habits. Not such a bad idea! When Mitchell, our MeowSpace® cat, is not eating in his MeowSpace®, he is most at home in his cat habitat, aka lying peacefully on his “bed,” and Berdell is most at home lying peacefully on hers. Habit forming? You bet! cat habits | habit forming | cat habitat | people habits
Cat Feeding Box & Litter Box Solutions
We have spoken with hundreds of vet professionals including veterinarians, veterinary technicians, assistants, nurses, receptionists and office managers who have shared with us the problems they have encountered regarding feeding and litter difficulties in multi-pet households. Pet owners, mostly cat owners, have told us how they have attempted to solve these problems, but to no avail. Here are some of the things people have tried that come up short and why they cease to be viable or permanent solutions: DOESN’T WORK #1: Building a box with a door too small for the fat cat to get through This may work for a while, but the pitfalls are glaring. A cat who is fat will go to almost any length to get to the food. We have heard horror stories of fat cats getting stuck in the opening, and terrorizing the skinny cat as it is eating. In addition, guess what happens after the fat cat has lost some weight? In they go! DOESN’T WORK #2: Putting the food on a level that the fat cat cannot reach because more »
