It’s Small Business Caturday! Your support means the world to us (and helps keep The Dudes filled with snacks) not just today but every day!

Even if you don’t have a cat with behavior concerns, you can still support small businesses like mine. Here’s how:

🐈‍⬛ Send someone that needs their product or service to their website
🐈 Engage with their content on social media! Watching videos (the more you watch the better), commenting, liking, and sharing are the most effective
🐱Have a website? Link to other small businesses
😻 Tell your veterinarian, dog trainer, groomer, etc. how awesome they are.
😽 Send them Churu.

Wait. Something tells me Prozac added that last one… 🤔

W appreciate all your support! We couldn’t do it without each of you 🥰

New video out a little early because of the holiday. This one is for all my neurodivergent cat folks out there.

There’s cats! There’s dopamine! There are lasers!

Whether you have ADHD or just struggle with remembering to do basic cat care tasks, you’ll learn something to make your life easier. Wait until you hear about the cat p**p treasure hunt…

Cats & ADHD: Cat Care Tips For Your ADHD Brain

If you have ADHD (and even if you don't), remembering to do basic cares for cats can be tough. I spoke with Meg Spires, a licensed independent social worker ...

There are a lot of things that can create problems in multicat homes, but one of the ones I hate the most are hallways and stairs. Absolutely hate ‘em.

Why do I have a weirdly rage filled view of these architectural features of many homes? They make it hard for cats to get past each other and can, intentionally or unintentionally, create a sense of being cut off from any resources that are exclusively located at one end of the hall. This is part of why putting all your litter boxes in the basement is a bad idea.

(Side note: if you managed to get away with all litter boxes in the basement, great! I’m happy for you. It’s still not a good idea 🤷🏻‍♂️)

It also happens to be a real challenge to create alternative pathways for the cats without creating a tripping hazard for the humans who still need to use the hallway.

There are a few workarounds: make sure resources for your cats are spread out and you have multiple of them through the home.

You can repurpose human furniture such as a console table (think a narrow table that usually has drawers and is commonly seen in entry ways) or shoe rack into narrow elevated pathways.

My favorite solution that some really fantastic clients just implemented is cat shelves. These clients have a home that’s basically just a long tube so the whole thing is a giant hallways. This was leading to tension between their cats, which is where I came in.

Cat shelves ended up being part of their behavior plan. They said I can show off their cat shelves (which you’ll see in the third image). They turned out SO WELL… and worked almost immediately! The bigger picture was after one of their cats got out of his sanctuary room and ran right past two of the others sitting on the shelves. Normally this would have been a disaster, but he was able to rush past unscathed.

Cat shelves are something you want to plan ahead as they can be done wrong, but well planned and executed cat shelves can do wonders for keeping the peace in a multicat home!

New video alert! It’s festive. There’s jingle bells. I edited Santa hats onto my The Dudes. There are practical tips. What is there not to like?!

Also, a small ask 🥺 If you like my videos, I just qualified for the YouTube “hype” feature. It helps boost them to a wider audience, but needs to be done within the first week of a video being posted. You can do it up to three times a week so I’d appreciate anyone who wants to use one on my videos. It helps me get good info about cats out there.

Link is in the comments so I don’t anger the algorithm.

Sometimes the best thing to do for your cat is the hardest thing to do.

This applies to cats, too! There are no guarantees about:

🐱If something will work
🐈How long it will take
🐈‍⬛If the outcome will be what you want.

A professional should be up front with about this.

Time to announce the winners of the Not A Costume contest! I received enough entries that I decided to do THREE winners.

Congrats to (my favorite photoshopped one), .marie.n (my favorite spooooooooooky background, and (my favorite human costume/cat not in a costume)! Send me your addresses and I’ll get your prizes mailed.

Thank you to everyone who participated! This was not a well thought out or planned contest so I’m glad I got to see so many cats looking spooky but not scared 🥰

Not a costume contest winners will be announced over the weekend. No, that plurality was not a mistake. 👀
