			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a ton of different cat litters available.  It&#8217;s quite difficult for a new pet owner to decide which one is right for their pet.  If you&#8217;re in this boat, try not to worry too much.  Finding the right cat litter is often a matter of trial and error.  That said, there is a lot of good information online.  I encourage you to read a few reviews and give some different products a go.  It won&#8217;t be too long before you find one that works for both you and your cat.</p>
<p>Now, one of the most famous brands you&#8217;ll come across is World&#8217;s Best Cat Litter.  It&#8217;s available at Amazon and makes several claims.  If you believe the hype, this stuff is odorless, clumps quick and easy to scoop.  It&#8217;s also long lasting and good for the environment.  In this article, I&#8217;ll shed some light on these claims.  In order to keep this review simple, I&#8217;ve broken up the following text into two different sections &#8211; Pros and Cons.</p>
<p><center></p>
<p><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=hubpages0cd6-20&#038;o=1&#038;p=8&#038;l=as1&#038;asins=B00212U2JO&#038;fc1=000000&#038;IS2=1&#038;lt1=_blank&#038;m=amazon&#038;lc1=0000FF&#038;bc1=000000&#038;bg1=FFFFFF&#038;f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p></center></p>
<p><strong>The Benefits Of World&#8217;s Best Cat Litter</strong></p>
<p>Overall, I think this is a great product.  It&#8217;s made of corn and is very easy on the environment.  This, naturally, means that it&#8217;s also good for your pet and the air in your home.  Typical clay based cat litters generally can&#8217;t make these claims.  When a cat finishes with their business, they&#8217;ll often kick their legs.  Clay based litters often create mini dust storms.  Some of these particles end up in the air &#8211; for your whole family to breath.  For more information, read this article about how to choose the <a href="http://www.cattraining.info/dust-free-cat-litter-3-different-brands-reviewed/">best dust free cat litter</a>.</p>
<p>I also like this litter because the chunks are nice and big.  It works very well with a self scooping or automatic cat litter box.  I have the Littermaid self cleaning box, and World&#8217;s Best works wonderfully with it.</p>
<p><strong>The Downfalls Of World&#8217;s Best Cat Litter</strong></p>
<p>This litter isn&#8217;t quite perfect though.  It claims to be odor free but I don&#8217;t really buy this.  Some users, including myself, often smell wifts of vinegar coming from the cats living quarters.  Keep in mind that every cat is different though.  This could be something related to diet and not the litter at all.</p>
<p>Another buzz word around the cat industry these days is &#8220;track free&#8221;.  This essentially means that a litter won&#8217;t easily find it&#8217;s way out of the litter box and on to your nice hardwood floor.  The World&#8217;s Best litter tends to stick to my cat&#8217;s feet.  I&#8217;ve found little kernels of corn 3 or 4 rooms away from the litter box!  This is simply due to the fact that the corn doesn&#8217;t clump as well as clay litters.</p>
<p><strong>In Conclusion&#8230;</strong></p>
<p>This is a great litter for most.  As I mentioned off the top, it may not be for everyone.  If your cat doesn&#8217;t track a lot of litter out of his box and his urine isn&#8217;t particularly stinky, give this a go.  You won&#8217;t regret it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What&#8217;s the worst part about having a cat?  If your answer didn&#8217;t involve cleaning out the litter box, you&#8217;re definitely in the minority!  There is nothing enjoyable about scooping out clumps of cat feces and putting them into a bag of some kind.  Due to the fact that this is such an unenjoyable task, many cat owners let this waste pile up.  This is bad for both you and your pet.  Cats are, by nature, very clean animals.  They don&#8217;t like a messy litter box!  In fact, if the box gets too dirty, they may just find another place to relieve themselves.  Of course, having a messy litter box isn&#8217;t great for the pet owner either.  Do you like the smell of an overflowing litter box?  Probably not.</p>
<p>Somewhere along the line, an incredibly smart individual came up with the idea to automate the litter box cleaning process.  These automatic cat litter boxes are extremely popular now &#8211; and for good reason.  If you&#8217;re not sure how these things work, here&#8217;s a quick overview.  Basically, the box is outfitted with a sensor that detects your cat presence.  Once tripped, this sensor sets a timer for 10 minutes.  At the end of this time period, a rake makes it&#8217;s way across the surface of the litter particles.  All the clumpy bits and fresh pieces of waste are swept into a bag.  This bag is then sealed until the cat enters the box again.  When the bag is full, the pet owner simply disposes of it and adds a new one.</p>
<p><strong>The Benefits Of Using Automatic Cat Litter Boxes</strong></p>
<p>Automatic cleaning cat litter boxes have several benefits that make it better than your average box.</p>
<p>First and foremost, these units are super low maintenance.  They essentially do all the work for you.  With conventional units, the cat owner is forced to constantly clean the litter box and scoop out waste.  If you have a big cat, you know how annoying this can be.  An automatic cat litter box does all this work for you.  All you need to do is check the bag every once in a while to see if needs replacing.  After a couple weeks of this, you&#8217;ll know how quickly the bag fills up.</p>
<p>Another added bonus revolves around hygiene.  Cat waste, like any sort of waste, is dirty.  Letting it hang around actually pollutes the air inside your home.  This can have negative effects on both you and your family.  The issue of smell is another hygienic reason to switch to an automated system.  Because the waste is raked into a sealed bag, your entire house will smell better.  Cats also tend to track litter particles out of their box from time to time.  If the box happens to contain waste when he does this, there&#8217;s a chance kitty will drag it out of the box with him &#8211; ewwwww!  Cat owners that have issues with cat litter tracking may want to look into some kind of a <a href="http://www.cattraining.info/dust-free-cat-litter-3-different-brands-reviewed/">dust free cat litter</a> as well.</p>
<p>Automatic litter boxes for cats are also very entertaining.  Many cats are actually quite fond of watching the rake do it&#8217;s thing!  This is quite humorous because the cat is usually long gone by the time the rake starts to move.  My cat, Snow, will actually run back into the room where her litter box is once the machine starts working.  She watches in awe as this magical contraption cleans up her feces&#8230;  My human friends also like this thing &#8211; but they&#8217;re quite easy to please <img src='http://www.cattraining.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So what&#8217;s the best automatic cat litter box?  Well, the reviews don&#8217;t lie.  Check out the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FLitterMaid-LM900-Mega-Self-Cleaning-Litter%2Fdp%2FB00005MF9U%3Fie%3DUTF8%26s%3Dhome-garden%26qid%3D1260676533%26sr%3D8-1&#038;tag=hubpages0cd6-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325" rel="nofollow" >LitterMaid LM900 Mega Self-Cleaning Litter Box</a>- available at Amazon.  It&#8217;s a beauty!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cat training is becoming more and more popular all the time.  As we&#8217;re all aware, training dogs has been a hobby of many pet enthusiasts for a long time now.  The art of training cats, on the other hand, is a relatively new thing.  For the longest time, most people felt that it was impossible to train a cat.  Thanks to programs like Karen Pryor&#8217;s clicker training, though, we&#8217;re starting to see some real progress in this new hobby.</p>
<p>People are training their cats how to do all sorts of neat things now!  The goal of this site is to provide a basic overview of things you can do with your cat.  Most of the exercises fall under the &#8220;training&#8221; category but don&#8217;t let this turn you off.  The goal of all these lessons is to help you enjoy your cat more.  If he happens to learn something along the way&#8230;  Great!</p>
<p>One thing that you can start with is leash training a cat.  How cool would it be to take your cat for a walk like you would a dog?  It&#8217;s possible!  Read the article found in the sidebar of this site and give it a go.   This isn&#8217;t an easy thing to do but remember.  The main goal here is to enjoy time with your cat.  Keep it light.  Have fun.  If your patient with this, it won&#8217;t be too long before your cat can walk on a leash.</p>
<p>Another thing a cat owner might want to consider is how to keep their kitty close to home.  A lot of people worry about their pets.  This is completely understandable if you think about it.  Humans have very strong emotional attachments to cats and dogs.  The thought of losing them is truly scary.  It&#8217;s important that your cat knows how to find his way home before dark.  Check out the appropriate article on this site for a few pointers.</p>
<p>One basic thing that all cats need to know how to do is use a litter box.  Even if your cat spends most of his time outside, you never when it&#8217;s going to snow or something.  Teaching a cat how to use his litter box is really quite simple.  It&#8217;s almost as if they&#8217;re born ready for this.  If you have any concerns about this, see the article on this subject.</p>
<p>Slightly related to this is another thing we talk about on this site.  Wouldn&#8217;t it be nice if your cat knew how to use an actual toilet?  It&#8217;s possible!  Get yourself over to youtube and do a quick search for &#8220;cat toilet training&#8221; or something.  This is truly incredible.  I&#8217;ve written a basic overview of how to start this process.  Patience is absolutely critical here.  Unlike a litter box that feels very natural for cats, an actual toilet is something they won&#8217;t get used to quickly.  The rewards are amazing if you can stick it out though.  No more kitty litter!</p>
<p>Clicker training is another buzz word that&#8217;s getting a lot of talk these days.  This practice actually started with horses many years ago.  It evolved into a dog training method and is pretty much recognized as the only way to train dogs now.  Well, a couple years back some &#8220;outside the box&#8221; type individuals started applying these same methods to cats.  If you&#8217;re serious about training your cat how to do things on command, this article is a must read.</p>
<p>All in all, this site is about having fun with your pets.  Have a look around and enjoy yourself.  Cheers!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Cat training can be incredibly stressful for both pet and owner.  It&#8217;s important that as you practice the exercises laid out on this site that you take it easy!  Keeping it light and informal has a few benefits.</p>
<p>First of all, it&#8217;s more fun.  This is true for both you and your little pet.  Although the end goal is to have a trained cat, we want to have fun along the way.   What&#8217;s the point of owning an obedient animal if you don&#8217;t even get along with it.</p>
<p>Furthermore, the cat will actually learn more effectively if you&#8217;re not too serious.  Cat&#8217;s aren&#8217;t easily stressed but they do lose interest in things quite quickly.  If you push your little guy too hard too fast, chances are he&#8217;ll just tune you out.  This, again, is super frustrating for you and your pet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is easy to keep your pet  dogs healthy because you can take them out for a walk. Walking is their  form of exercise. But what about cats? Is it possible to teach a cat  to walk on a leash?</p>
<p>Most people will think that  this idea is insane but it&#8217;s actually very doable. All you need is patience  that can rival that of a saint. Why? Because training your cat to walk  on a harness and leash takes a <strong>lot of time</strong>. You will have to slowly  build your pet&#8217;s trust before you can actually take him to the park  for leisurely strolls. It is impossible to just fashion him with the  harness and leash and expect him to be agreeable with the whole thing.</p>
<p>When starting this training,  you will notice that your cat will not like the idea of wearing, much  less being pulled, with a harness. So the first thing that you need  to do is to make him accustomed to wearing the harness. You can do this  by letting him wear it for a while. Give him a few days of just being in the harness.  It&#8217;s important that you <strong>don&#8217;t pull him until he&#8217;s comfortable just wearing the apparatus</strong>. </p>
<p>Next, attach the leash to the  harness but let him drag it around. It is not yet time for you to hold  the harness and guide him. Again, let him get used to the idea of wearing  the harness with the leash. This will take a few more days. When this  no longer bother him, try holding the leash. Walk around the room with  your cat but do not pull or control the leash. You should not restrain  him. After several more days on this step, try guiding your pet by pulling  the leash gently. If he resists, stop. Give him time to follow your  lead. In time, your cat will no longer object to walking on a harness  and a leash. </p>
<p>It is a great feeling to be  able to walk with your cat but the training is hard work. Whenever your  pet acts in a way that is favorable to the training, do not forget to  give him treats and lots of praises. A training session full of love  will make everything easier. <img src='http://www.cattraining.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is one thing to <a title="How Should I Train My Kitten To Use A Litter Box?" href="http://cattraining.info/how-should-i-train-my-kitten-to-use-a-litter-box/" target="_blank">train your cat to use a kitty litter box.</a> Training your cat to use a toilet on the other hand, is something completely different.  Using the litter box comes fairly naturally for most cats.  Others may need to be trained but it&#8217;s still a fairly easy process. Most cats will  immediately catch on to the functions of the kitty litter. If you&#8217;re planning on making your cat graduate from the litter to the  toilet, however, you&#8217;re in for some seriously hard work. This takes <strong>a lot of time</strong>. Training a kitten to use the toilet can take up to a year.</p>
<p>Not only does cat toilet training take  a long time, it is also a difficult process. You have to dedicate much  of your time to the whole exercise. But if you&#8217;re willing to do it,  there are several ways you can try to make your pet learn to use the  toilet. One method is to purchase a kit for toilet training. These kitty toilet training kits  come with the necessary equipment and instructions. However, it is best  to use these kits for kittens since they may not be able to withstand  the weight and size of adult cats.  The last thing you want is your poor old cat falling into the toilet bowl!</p>
<p>Another method that one can  use is to associate the litter box with the toilet. You can do this  by placing your pet&#8217;s litter box next to the toilet. After some time,  raise the litter box so that it is the same level as the toilet. After  your pet gets used to doing his business at this height, place the litter  box on top of the toilet and then remove it in time. He will begin to  realize that he can do at the toilet what he can do at a litter box.</p>
<p>There are other methods for  toilet training your cat. However, all of them are difficult work. If  you are set on making your cat learn to use the toilet, be prepared  to invest a lot of your time and effort.  Remember, cat toilet training is not easy!</p>
<p>Is it worth it?</p>
<p>Absolutely!  You&#8217;ll never have to empty a litter box again and there&#8217;s a good chance that your cat will be a Youtube superstar!</p>

<p>A clicker is a device that  makes a &#8220;click&#8221; sound. By sounding a &#8220;click&#8221; and giving your cat  a reward when he behaves in a certain way, you condition your pet to  associate the click with the the desired behavior. The reward is typically a small tasty treat.</p>
<p><strong>So how does this work?</strong></p>
<p>It&#8217;s really quite simple, even with  cats. First, you have to determine what behavior you want your cat to perform. When he does it, you make a sound using the clicker and give  your cat a treat. If he doesn&#8217;t do what you want him to do, you don&#8217;t  click and you don&#8217;t give out the treat. You simply ignore him. You have  to repeat this many times until your cat associates the behavior with  the treat. It is important to use the clicker the <strong>instant </strong>the cat does  the thing you want him to do so that the conditioning will work. This  method is designed not to fail because cats, like most animals, will  do any action that produces a desirable result. In this case, the result  is getting a meaty, fishy treat.</p>
<p>In due time, you&#8217;ll no  longer have to give out treats. By hearing the click alone, your cat will  behave in a way you want him to because he is expecting a treat.  If he behaves a certain way just  by hearing the click, you have trained him. There is no need to give  him a treat, unless of course you want to spoil him&#8230; <img src='http://www.cattraining.info/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Remember to start out with simple cat clicker training tricks.  As time goes on, your cat will become more accustomed to the idea of the clicker and the rewards associated with it.</p>
<p>Give this method a go and let me know how it works for ya!</p>
