[Dailydrool] Cat Box issues and Separation Anxiety

[Karen]

Since the gang share the house with 3 kitties and love their kitty snacks 
(Yuckkkk!)
I had to come up with a solution to stop them from enjoying these delicacies.  
My 

solution was to give the kitties there own room that is gated off.  The pressure 
gate
is raised about 6" off the floor, just enough for a kitty escape and enough to 
prevent
basset invasions.   The litter box is a small but tall storage bin that works  
that prevents
snacking in case the bassets invade the room.  The kitties have not problem 
using the box
(which is placed in a corner between the wall and cat tree) and the bassets are 
too short 
to enjoy their left behind delicacies. 

As for separation anxiety, I still am a fan of the Anxiety Wraps, which GGBR 
still carry.  I also 

have found that Melatonin 3 mg/day will help smooth out the most anxious bassets 
in most
cases.   Lavender and a hot water bottle work wonders as well.   I also love the 
"Through A 

Dogs Ear" CD's for helping quiet the gang and new fosters especially when momma 
needs
some peace and quiet.  (I am no way involved with this company but love CDs 
which even calm me.)
