With seven in my household, it is especially important that routines are in place - kitties can be very susectable to change in a negative way (for example, bad litter habits) and it is important to try to give them the secure and loving environment that they are accustomed to. Sometimes you cannot avoid disrupting a routine, but you need to communicate with your cat that all will be well again soon!Deb Barnes - Zee and Zoeyhttp://www.zeezoey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647675683976633621.post-82421597773650759692011-09-16T19:46:33.416-07:002011-09-16T19:46:33.416-07:00Spitty's Human says: Gee, I never know WHAT th...Spitty's Human says: Gee, I never know WHAT the heck Spitty's gonna do at any given time!

Before I walk into the kitchen to make my lunch, I get out Allegra and Ruby's brush, and they both come running. After brushing, they get treats.

Like when I get up, every one gets food. And that is getting earlier and earlier every morning. But I think animals like being on a schedule which I know from having horses all my life. They really depend on that schedule and do get sick if it varies too much.
