Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Yes, she can absolutely use her litter box. It is ok for her to be in the bathroom. However, it is important to consider using an e-collar if she is going to be left unattended to try to prevent her from licking at the incision and causing an infection or opening her incision. You can buy an e-collar from your veterinarian or at your local pet store. Good luck and have a great day!

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I don't think many people crate their cats beyond the "getting used to the new house" period. If Cecile is destructive or may hurt herself or ingest something it is best to crate her. I thin if you want to to start letting her out at night now and she knows where her food/water and litter boxes are. I do know people who have confined their cats for their entire lives at night. So it is a personal decision for you. I hope this helps!

I know how you feel. I just flew with 5 of my own pets for a flight that was over 7 hrs. So you are a bit limited here, but there are some safe things you can do to ease the stress for Moka. 1) No sedatives- these are not safe and also not permitted due to the vast temperature ranges that your fur baby can be exposed to. Also if she is going in cargo pressure changes can make her at risk for serious injury if she is on any type of sedative/tranquilizer. 2) Stress reducing natural remedies- there are lots of options here at your local pet store. Get an associate to help you find some that will work for you. 3) Place a clothing item with your scent on it in the carrier with her 4) Don't stop giving her food or water for any period of time. You want her well hydrated and well fed. Most cats won't eat much in transit, so letting her eat is a good idea. 5) Place a pee pad or towel at the bottom of the carrier in case of accidents. You will be surprised to know that most cats hold their

How lovely of you to want to do this for Grumpy! I would call a local cat rescue or the SPCA. They can set up a cat trap to catch him to get these things done. You can also get a cat trap yourself, and trap him to get him into the vet.

I think he is not likely to eat a lot of the crate, Spock is probably chewing the edges because of boredom. I would suggest that he is put in the crate after he has had a walk and ideally you have spent time playing with him so that he is physically and mentally tired. Something I found useful for dogs in crates was to stuff a kong with dog food, and then put it in the freezer for 2-3 hours then offer it to him. This should entertain him for a while. Best to try it first on a day when you will not be away for too long so that you can monitor that he does. Hope this helps !
