Kitty Proofing House

A few tips for disabled kitties is if they are capable of climbing, which all of mine are, be sure to have all obstacles which could injure the adventurous feline out of the way. And I also have a thick fleecy pad next to my bed and my crippled Willy knows it will soften his jump from the bed. All but Eli can miraculously navigate the stairs, but a baby gate is highly recommended for really severe ch cases. Eli is severe, but also VERY smart, and only once did he attempt stairs. It was an unpleasant excursion, but he was uninjured. Thankfully! And I helped Eli learn how to walk as a kitten by using a jersey sling under his belly and practiced helping him learn how to spread his legs out while eating. At first, he would fall from side to side, but now I watch my smart boy spread his legs and CHOW! I am convinced it made a big difference in his learning to get around! ~Jan
