If you have a cat who loves to drink water out of a faucet or sink, or even those little droplets left in the bath once you’re all done a shower, chances are you’ve thought about trying a pet fountain to see if your furry would get his or her drink on more often if running water via a fountain was accessible 24/7. If you have a cat who doesn’t drink enough water, and you’ve been itching to find a way to encourage him or her to take a sip more often, this is also a plenty good reason to be considering a cat water fountain. They’re touted by cat and dog owners alike, and typically pet fountains are the same sizes for small and medium dogs and cats – so in multi-pet households that have both, you’ll probably end up with a household full of pets who take to drinking more often, which leads us to ceramic pet fountains in particular… Ceramics in general are all quite easy to clean, and I feel like while stainless steel is also great, and regularly used for both food and water dishes for cats, I’m not a fan of eating or drinking out of it myself, so I wouldn’t grab a metal water fountain or dish for that reason.

Placed it on top of an IKEA BEKVAM wooden stool, placed a non-slip silicone cat food mat just beneath the stool, tied a Catit Senses Food Tree, centered right beneath the feeder’s dispenser hole, and tied the food toy in place with the outer shell (took out the inner string) of paracord. The kitties, upon hearing the sound of the food toy, will come running if they weren’t already camping out waiting for the food to come out, Bjorn will get on his hind legs and eat the kibble on the top, Avery grabbing bits that have fallen onto the mat and the base of the food toy, and then they’ll work their way to eating more and more. I didn’t want to get a second, and if I did what a lot of pet parents with two cats did – split the food into two seperate bowls with a DIY hack, Bjorn would simply finish his food in a hurry, then go steal the remainder of the food in the bowl from Avery. For cases like this, you may want a microchip cat feeder like the SureFlap SureFeed Microchip Pet Feeder to protect the food of your submissive furry instead, especially if he or she is capable of free-eating without weight gain or eating slowly enough to not need a slow feeder bowl to prevent scarfing.

Even before these really big plane travel moves, however, we’d already had plenty of experience moving with our furry feline – having gone back and forth a few times form house to house in Canada before we’d left. Very easy to do, and 2. Going to make your life easier in the occasion you need to transport your cat for reasons other than a move, like a trip to the vet, or an emergency like a house fire, whenever you need to get fluffy in or out, you will be so grateful you took the time to do this. Taking the time to do a short trip around the block right before you actually travel, then coming back home and letting him or her use the litter before packing up to go; the stress/anxiety over travel is usually enough to trigger a bowl release in my experience. I’m going to do my best to discuss when I think each one may or may not work, and if you have any more recommendations, tips, or suggestions for pet parents travelling with cats and working out litter solutions, I’m really happy to add to the tips in the following list – just leave your advice in the comments below!

If none of the reasons why you might want to have a litter box for an outdoor cat strike you as relevant to your household’s cat(s), or you feel the points for not having a litter box are more relevant to you at this moment in time, I’d say that’s a pretty clear indication you should be skipping out on them entirely for the time being. It’s More Costly Than Having Your Cats Go Outside You don’t need to buy a litter box, a litter scoop, a litter mat, or have the recurring cost of cat litter if your cats simply do their business outside. You Buy Having an outdoor cat means that kitty’s likely to spend quite a lot of time outdoors, and if your litter box is an indoor one and not an outdoor litter box, he or she may not even be around enough to bother to use the indoor litter box you buy. If They Ever Need One Later If you ever need your cat to use a litter box later, it’s fairly easy to train cats to use litter boxes – especially open litter pans filled with material that looks like dirt, like corn cat litter or walnut cat litter.
