Cat Health & Safety

Finding poop outside the litter boxes? It’s easy to identify the culprit when you have just one cat. But what about when you’ve got multiple cats? While you could set up a webcam in the area where the infractions are taking place and wait, there’s a simpler, low-tech solution: Add a small amount of crayon shavings, regular craft glitter (don’t use “glass glitter”), or food coloring to your cats’ food to “mark” the poop of and identify the inappropriate pooper. Just be sure to use a different color for each cat! It’s completely safe, not to mention kind of cool. You can learn more about this colorful trick below.
