How would I train my 2 cats to not sleep on my bed?
~Sawyer asked:
I ruined an expensive comforter laundering it in an effort to remove the cat hair. I bought the cats a cat condo & they love it, but they still sleep on my bed. I want them to stop.
I know the obvious answer of keeping my bedroom door closed, but I’m looking for alternatives to this.

Will pepper oil or garlic oil prevent cats from chewing on plants?
melw asked:
I’m wanting to buy a philodendron plant, but am afraid one of our cats will see it and try and eat it, mistaking it for her cat grass. I’m wondering if pepper oil used for cooking sprinkled on the plant will work, or, alternatively, hurt the plant. Or what about garlic oil on the plant? I know that pepper on the skin can burn, so am wondering if it could do the same on the plant. Or, is there any type of spray that can be used to prevent the cat from getting near the plant before she chews the leaves? Philodendrons are poisonous to cats, so I don’t want her to even chew on it, which is why I want to avoid bitter apple spray. Hope all this makes sense, and thanks in advance?

How do I keep my cats from chewing up my house plants?
ChemMon asked:
I’ve got a variety of house plants place sporadically throughout my house, but where ever they are, my cats find them and chew them all up! I don’t want to put them out side, but they won’t stop! I’ve tried the squirt bottle, but they do it alot at night. I can’t keep track of them 24-7! The younger one also has dug up my begonia plant so many times that it’s now dead, spilling dirt all over my floors and bookshelf. HELP!!

What kinds of spots do cats look for when they need a place to have their kittens?
virgo_thang_694 asked:
So my cat is pregnant.I made a nice and cozy spot that I would like her to have them in but I wonder if it will be to her liking or if I need to have more than one.She is an indoor cat but got herself pregnant when she sneeked outside.
Then spot I made for her is two boxes combined into one with soft blankets and towels.We want her to have the kittens in spare room because we have two other cats and don’t want bad things happening to the babies.So I put a litterbox,fresh food and water and all her favorite things in there.She is allowed to roam for another week or two outside of the room but not long after that.So will she have her kittens in the box or do I need to make agustments?She does like the box.She is laying in it right now sleeping.

What is the best way to introduce stranger cats together into the same household?
khr7057 asked:
Situation is easy. Momma Cat and one daughter cat live in my house. Two of the Momma Cat’s daughters live at my girlfriend’s house. Even though they are all related the two groups don’t get along anymore. How would I best introduce all these cats together without instigating a turf war and yet another round of fights and peeing everywhere?
