roaringwomyn - idn't she pweetty!

Jan. 21st, 2007 11:06 am idn't she pweetty!

Looky looky we got a kitty!
Her name is Marley.. isn't she georgeus! The pics aren't the best, and don't really show the extenet of her adorableness.. but it gives you some indication.
She belonged to a work mate, whom had 2 other cats and Marley was getting picked on.. awww.. apparently now one of 'em misses her! too late!
She's been doing lots of cute things like trying to catch flies, and looking out the window at the bird fam next door, running around the house, stretching in all kinds of weird ways and falling off chairs!
We bought her a little cat castle, you know those little carpeted houses with ropes poles they can scratch.. but she won't go near it! We think maybe it smells of former cat (as it was 2nd hand). Does anyone have any ideas to get smell of former cat out, or attract her to it?

Aww she's beautiful!!

You can buy a pheromone (sp?) spray from pet shops that neutralises a cat's odour - it's particularly useful if you have a cat marking it's territory in your house in order to establish dominance. So yeah, maybe that would work too?

Other thing you could try, depending on whether she's one of those cats that actually likes catnip, would be to buy a catnip spray to spray on the castle and see if that attracts her to it.

You could just find that she's still pretty nervous and will take her a week or two to settle it. Once she's relaxed she'll probably start to hunt out her favourite sleeping spots etc. If you have it somewhere relatively secluded where she can still see what's going on, and preferably somewhere that has a fair bit of height she might be even more attracted to it.

There, that's my lecture for the day :P

I bought catnip! I sprayed it on the cat castle and little Miss M had a sniff, then spent the rest of the day snoozing stoned on her fave chair.

Cat castle planning

(Link)
I made a cat castle for my cat. It would never climb it, not even if I left food there (probably because it was in an empty boring corridor). But it liked a hammock I made under it.

Of course the lounge was much nicer to scratch than a boring cat castle...
