When you use feliway how often do you spray? And how much to spray?

I use the diffuser that is plugged in to the wall socket. I use it when there is something that makes my cat a bit restless or if I'm doing some changes to my home. If you use spray, you need to follow the instructions on that product to get the best effect

How did you train muffin to listen and stop when you raise your voice. My cat was pawing at the closet door which wasn't allowed, I called her name in a firm voice but all she did was stop and look at me then continued

If you go to instagram and search for the tag #whymycatsrespectme and you will read about how I do :)

Jag har två norska skogkatter. En hona och en hane som är syskon och båda är kastrerade. Hur vet man vilken rank dem har? Är det alltid hanen som är högst?

Nej det är inte alltid hanen utan det baseras på deras uppväxt bl a. Titta på dom så kan du eventuellt räkna it vem som är högst i rang, men det kan även vara så att ingen av de är det :)

Påverkar hettan mycket på kattens matlust?

Ja det gör den, det är vanligt att de äter lite mindre under sommaren. Ett tips är att prova mixa kattmaten (blötmat) och eventuellt hälla i lite extra vatten så kan katten bara slicka i sig det och får samtidigt i sig vätska de behöver

Do cats have ear wax like humans? I think I saw some in my cats ears.

Yes they do and they can get a bit dirty there that you could remove if you are very careful. Google on how to clean cat's ears and you can follow step by step to get your cat's ears cleaned :)

Middle of the room. She's also tolerating being picked up a bit more(b4 she HATED it) one thing I think might be behind is that her favourite person in the house is hardly ever home any more, so she is lonely? I don't know. It just seems quite sudden- I'm not complaining or anything, it's nice.

I think it sounds like you are getting there with her, and are doing a very good job. If you go to my website Catwhisperer.se you can read about a few tips on how to help a shy cat <3
Keep up the good work!

Hi! I have a rescue black cat, we rescued her at 6 months and she's been very shy since(I think my other cat could be bullying her) but in the last month or so, she's been a lot better. She will follow you into the bathroom and start purring. She's still quite shy if you try to stroke her in the

I will answer in your last post :)

who has the highest rank? tea is the lowest and berry and zinna? and why

Right now Muffin has the highest rank and Berry and Zinna is close second. This is how animals work and have always done :)

One of my cats dew claws looks a bit yellow and crusty around the skin part of it, I'm thinking it's infected but it's not as bad as some pictures I've seen on the internet. Is it worth taking her to the vet or should I wait to see if it gets better first?

Call the vet first to just ask about this and explain how the claw looks. They can tell you if you need to take him there or if this is just something that can happen, and nothing to be worried about

Do I have to give my cat a "haircut" or could I go to a place where they cut the cats fur? Would it be expensive? And what do you do if you cats fur grows too long?

First of all cats fur cannot grow too long, it will be the size that it should be and it may vary every season.
If you want to cut your cats fur I would suggest that you go to a pet store or specialist that does this for you. The price will be different for every place so just call them to ask about it first :)

where did you get the cat tree in your video from last day where zinnamon scratches?

I'm not sure where I bought it, but I think it was in a swedish online shop :)

Jag ser på olika instagramkonton katter med "Bowies" eller flugor, jag tror jag sett muffin med det också men tycker katter det är irriterande med det eller är de okej med att ha på sig det?

Det är väldigt olika, vissa har inget emot det alls och andra skulle inte klara av det. När du ser någon av mina katter med klädsel på sig så har de endast det en mycket kort stund för att ta en söt bild, men jag skulle aldrig göra det om de inte accepterade det

do you know the wet food brand "Gourmet" if so, is it good?

Yes I'm familiar with it and I don't recomment giving it as food, but as a treat now and then. It is too much sugar in it

My male cat always wants to play with his pregnant sister and pushing her belly with his paws, Does this will hurt her kittens? should I separate them always?

It would be for the best to separate them right now, the male can suddenly lash out on her.

What do neuter chips do? Because I'm really confused. My brother said girls get spayed... Is that correct? What do boys get?

They make the body behave as it is neutered. Both females and males is neutered but in the english language you say spaying for females and neuter for males. Also it can be the two different names for the two different procedures

Won't the cat hate you instead of respect you as a boss if you wouldn't let them have what they want?

No :) That is the secret. They will instead know that you are the source of all good things in it's life and therefor be so thankful to you. But you can never use violence agains a cat, it will do the exact opposite

Do all of your rag dolls love to cuddle?

Yes :) Not all day everyday but yes all of them love it <3

Hey there! I'm following you on instagram and I'm absolutely in love with your Muffin!! How many times a week do you have to clean your apartment because of your cats' hair? How often do you have to clean the litter box a day?

Thank you :)
I'm a bit of a clean freak so I don't ever let it sit for too long. But I vacuum at least once a week.
I clean the litterboxes 2-3 times a day :)

I want to buy myself two cats in the near future - preferably siblings! Shall I buy a male and a female? Or shall I only get myself two cats with the same gender? What would you recommend me to do?

I don't really see any difference if you get two male cats, one female and one male or two females. As long as you neuter them both in time, you could choose anything you want :)
My recommendations would be to get at least one male, because they are just so damn cuddly :D

I have 2 male cats, and i found out that one of them has a small bald patch behind his neck! Im so worried! Could it because of them fighting? :(

Oh, I'm so sorry :/ It might be because of a fight, but you might want to take the cat to the vet. It could be food allergies or other underlying illnesses. It is always good to rule out that first.
I hope he is ok <3
