TIPS
1 For those with aging cats consider elevating their food bowl to their normal mouth height. (Those old telephone books you have stored in case 1995 - 2010 ever come back, or whatever excuse you still have them would be ideal). Our older parents appreciate their food to be fed to them so that they don't have to bend down (it restricts their food passage). So do our older felines.
2 Have difficulty turning door handles (arthritic maybe) or even when both hands are full and the door is shut - try using a couple of layers of masking tape (or duct tape)to cover the slot - it is much easier to pull and much easier to push the door without having to twist the handles as well.
It goes without saying (so often should be said?) - this tip doesn't apply to sliding doors or front or back doors - don't want to make it easier for the light finger brigade do we ?/?. Cheers all and stay safe.
