    winterwoods My cat started pe ing on my bed when she was stressed out. So, I started feeding her treats on the bed often. This has turned into a highly enjoyable nightly bedtime ritual (I've even taught her to "sit" for treats) and better yet, she now associates the bed with food and no longer pes there. Ever.

    [deleted] Leaving treats hidden around the house whenever I leave. It means that my cat looks forward to me leaving instead of being anxious because he gets to go on a treasure hunt.

    thatbtchshay Such a simple one but if kitty hated going in the carrier and splays out, turn the carrier so the door is facing the ceiling. Tuck kitty into a ball and drop into carrier bit first. Makes it soooo much easier

    DONTLOOKITMEIMN KED My 18 year old lady used to not drink much from her bowl but was always after my glass so I started pouring a decoy glass for her and she drinks so much more. So now she has her own set of glasses and I change them out as often as I do my own. It turns out that cats appreciate a nice fresh glass of cool water as much as anyone else.

    jazzhandler ⚫ 5y ago Pretty much the same as every other domesticated animal: repetition, respect, and repetition. Cats are much better at learning human words and stuff than most people give them credit for. I help them learn by respecting both their autonomy and their intelligence, and with an abundance of clear and consistent repetition.

    Brilliant Disk I do this in every apartment: I use one of the coat closets as a litter box room, completely remove the door from its hinges, and hang a blackout curtain in the door frame so it's a foot off the ground. They can get in and out any time, and it completely blocks out the smell. I just reattach the door when I have to move out. Everyone who has come to visit said they could not tell there was a litter box in the room even if it's been a few days since I've cleaned it. I've evangelize

    Sakuko Armadillo I installed a little door into the guest bathroom, which will be the cats bathroom, so I have the litter boxes away from people and they have peace to do their thing.

    No-Chest5718 My friends made a kitty door which leads to the gated area they made in their backyard for the sole purpose of being able to keep the litter box outside. Genius.

    tastyfriend Not a modification, but a sacrifice. It looks like I usually have trash on the floor. I mean I kind of do, but its for them I swear lol I'll have cardboard boxes and packing paper all over the floor for about a week after I get something shipped to me. Sometimes I'll spray it with catnip and watch all h, break loose.

    clamskittles Get an auto feeder for cats. It will stop them from meowing at you at all hours of the night to be fed. I think they stop associating you with the food so they stop bothering you to feed them. It helps to avoid over feeding/eating since it dispenses the same pre-set amount every time. It is also just a lot easier to load the feeder once every two weeks rather than feed every day.

    therealummmbrella L = C + 1 • L = Number of litter boxes C = Number of cats If you have 2 cats, get 3 boxes! And ideally the litter boxes aren't near their food or water. Speaking of water, invest in a water filter dish, especially if you have a male cat. It encourages them to drink more water, and removes hard minerals that can cause bladder crystals.
