Do you sell cat shock collars or can I use a dog shock collar on my cat?

I have a male cat that is 17.4 pounds, I cannot seem to find a shock collar for cats. So I wondered if I got a small dog shock collar can I use it on him. For years he has always attacked my female cat and she just stays in the room all the time. If she try to come out he attacks her continuously. The water bowl and litter box is not inside my bedroom where she hides all the time. I love both of them dearly and dont want to get rid of neither so this is my last resort. What shoul I do?

Answer:

I would not suggest using something intended for dogs on cats without talking to a licensed professional first. If your cat is like most and doesn't like water, try squirting him with a spray bottle. He'll learn to associate attacking your other cat with something he doesn't like (getting wet, for example!) and will most likely stop. Good luck!

Answer:

Drs. Foster and Smith carries Paws Away Cat Strips, if you'd like to try that. Since you already have things like scratching posts, I suggest that you set them where your cat likes to scratch. If you're blocking their usual scratching area on the couch, they will most likely use the scratching posts. If the behavior persists, reprimand them. I suggest a firm tap on the nose or a little squirt of water with a spray bottle. They will associate scratching your couch with something they don't like (such as water!) and will most likely stop.

Thank you for your question. You could try the Comfort Zone Spray, which is clinically proven to end vertical scratching (like on a couch) in 95% of cats. Here's a link: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produ...

collars

Hello. I have a deaf cat (male/ turkish angora/ 1 year old) and I am looking for a vibrating collar for him. For the past 3 months he has been jumping up on the counters, scratching clothes and digging through the garbage. These are behaviors I am trying to train him to stop doing. Currently I am using a water bottle to spray him when he does this behavior. However, it is not working, so I want to get a vibrating collar to help train him. However, ever vibrating collar I see is for a dog...do you have ANY cat vibrating collars? If not, is it safe to use a small dog vibrating collar on a cat? Thank you very much, I appreciate the help.

Answer:

Thank you for your question. I am sorry but we do not carry any cat vibrating collars. You might want to consider SSSCAT Spray for Cats (item #15676). You should never use a dog collar on a cat.

Answer:

Thank you for your question. The most common and easy solution is to use a spray bottle to create a negative connection with the act of climbing the screen. It's harmless and doesn't take too long to communicate your cat's misbehavior will be rewarded with a spray of water on their backside.

Another solution is to purchase something like Stickypaws strips, item 25592. You could easily apply the strips onto sections of the screen. After a couple of weeks, you can just remove it.
