This is tropical Bangkok which means I HAVE TO use bug spray from time to time. I spray it on the floor and it is orderless. Can I not do this with cat in the house? p.s. I spray it only in kitchen and not near her food or water or where she sleeps. |

That is a tough one to answer! It really depends on what ingredients are in the pesticide; some are very hazardous. I personally do not use any bug sprays in the house; like many people in the City I have an occasional roach problem, but I use the small discs that contain a poison that kills them.

Next question: I cut Happy's front claws today using nail clippers. It went fine and I know how to do it properly, however, the claw did not cut so much as it splintered. When I cut my toe nails, they make that "snip" sound, with her it was not the same. |

Cats claws are made up of many different layers. Sometimes when I cut my cats claws they do that other times they don't. I wonder sometimes if it is to do with the sharpness of the clippers? At least happy let you cut the claws - I had sometimes to revert to wraping in a towel! |

Claw clippers made specifically for cats seem to be keener and do a cleaner cut than people nail clippers. You can get them online. What a good girl Happy is! Most of mine let me do it with only minor wiggling and grumbling, but my tortie was impossible... she thrashed, screamed bloody murder and said I was amputating her toes without anaesthetic!  |

Sadly, I have to give Happy back to the organization as I will be returning to New York. She goes back in a week and I wanted to give her something special so I decided to pick up a bunch of those Whiskas meaty fish pouches. Is that ok for her to eat for a week? She is a medium sized cat, how many should i give her? |
