Is their anything i can do to get my cat to stop kneading my bed constantly buying new bed covers
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Unfortunately no. I would keep her nails trimmed, cutting them every 2-3 weeks. You can cover your bed with a blanket to protect your good bed cover. And you can apply nail caps. Other options is to keep her off the bed with noise deterrents. Kneading is a natural behavior for cats. https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/product/soft-claws-clear-cat-nail-caps I wish you the best!

Do you think I need cooling mats for my cats? They are strictly indoor cats with access to water at all times. I notice they like to lay on the cool tiles near my door.
Indoor cats rarely get overheated unless very active or stressed. They may enjoy a cooling mat though and it would be more comfortable than laying on the tiles. You cold also get a small quiet fan to circulate the air. Make sure it has a cover or is up so they can't get their paws inside. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for her Mimi.

In a cardboard feral cat shelter (I temporarily have no other solution) would it be better to use clothes as padding/bedding or nothing at all since I have no access to straw, insulation or hay? What else could I use to make my cardboard shelter as d
Hi there and thank you for your post! I would say place some sort of padding inside such as old clothes for bedding. The cats may defecate and urinate on it so you may need to check it regularly and change out the box as well if it begins to smell. There are multiple insecticides that pest control companies use that are non toxic to animals. I would give them a call and see what they can do to help you out. Remember, feral cats can be diseased and carry ticks and fleas. If you have any other animals at home, I would get them on a flea and tick preventative. You can use gorilla tape to go around the entire outside of the box as well for an increase in durability. I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me with any further questions or concerns you may have.

So I took in a stray that is at least five years old and has rather obviously had it rough. I am keeping him segregated and also set up a cat condo for him in said room, which he tends to stay in, sleeping (the condo, I mean). I bought him this nice,
Hello. This is literally an age old question & basically it all goes back to this: no one knows what goes on in a cats head. I am not just being facetious, but even my cats drive me crazy sometimes. Food, toys, beds, cat condos all go through love/hate phases all the time. I think it is so wonderful that you adopted him, & as long as he loves being with you, the warming bed may just be too foreign to him. There may also be a very low quality hum or vibration that goes along with the heating elements that just puts him off. If he loves his condo & his blankets, that may be all he needs, plus food & love. Again, thanks for taking him in & thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I'm thinking of buying an electric heating mat for my cats. Are they safe to use? Could it burn my cat even on a low setting?
Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach! Generally the electrical pads have a risk for short circuiting and can overheat with the animal on the pad leading to severe skin burns. There are newer options for keeping animals warm such as warmer crates / bedding, oscillating heat fans (dyson), and controlling the ambient room temperature. I have seen several burns related to electrical heat pads so I am not a big proponent of using these as the risk is too high for burns.
