Cats - Cat behavior


Expert: Karen Craft - 7/5/2009

Question
We have a cat that is approx 2 yrs old.  We got her from a shelter so we have no background on her.  We think she was a stray but we are unsure.  She has taken up knocking over the trash can to get scraps of food.  Is there something that we can spray or rub on the trash can to prevent this???  Thanx in advance for whatever help you can be.  Have a sparkling day.   Andy.

Answer
Hi Andre,

Here you go, this works great.

I gave you an Amazon link but you can Google this and see if you find it cheaper somewhere else. It is very humane and works great.

Here is another good link for you.

It deals with cat nutrition and foods. Since your guy was a stray cat you might want to change his food around. Lisa is one of the best cat nutrition experts there is. Good luck.

Ciao, Karen
