Hi EdwardSmith74. How many cats do you have? In_The_Wind Jul 2013 #4
It depends. At the moment 3 permanent, one refugee, and two off-site with kids. EdwardSmith74 Jul 2013 #8

I've had a lot of cats throughout my life. They all seem to know the fart trick. EdwardSmith74 Jul 2013 #26

Gradually decrease the amount. If they walk away from the bowl, put it back in the bag. EdwardSmith74 Jul 2013 #21
