Cathy M. Rosenthal
Dear Cathy: We have a 1-year-old Shih Tzu who refuses to relieve himself in our backyard. We are happy to walk him three times a day, but it is only sometimes possible due to weather and schedules. He will hold it in for a very long time until we walk him. Sometimes, I think this is unhealthy, and I wonder, is there any way to get him to go in the backyard on these occasions? — Annette, Queens, New York
Dear Annette: Whenever you train a dog to "sit," you must introduce "sit" in different locations for the concept to stick. It's the same thing when training a dog to relieve himself. Simply put, the walk is a pleasant habit where your dog learned to relieve himself. Now it's time to teach him to relieve himself in your yard.
Begin by walking him on a leash around your backyard during your normally scheduled walks. If you spend 20 minutes on a walk, spend 20 minutes walking him around the backyard. If he doesn't relieve himself, don't give up and take him for his regular walk.

Instead, take him into the house, wait 30 minutes, and repeat the leash-walking in the backyard. Do this throughout the day until he finally relieves himself. When he does, say "go potty" at the same time and use his reward word, like "bingo," to mark the behavior. When he’s done, give him a treat.
You also can pick up his poop from one of his regular walks and deposit it in your backyard to let him know it's OK to relieve himself there. Replace his first two daily walks with this activity, and take him for a walk as usual in the evening.
After a few days, take him into your fenced yard without a leash. Let him wander around the yard. If he relieves himself, implement the command, reward and treat mentioned above. If he doesn't, bring him in after 10 minutes, and go back out with him an hour later. Repeat this process throughout the day until he finally relieves himself.
It may take a few days or weeks, but if you’re consistent, he should begin to understand what you want him to do.
Dear Cathy: We have two 5-year-old cats who are brothers whom we have had since they were 4 weeks old. They are very bonded. The problem is that Ben is always biting Jerry's neck. Ben's front claws rub the fur off of Jerry's back while he does this. Jerry tries to hide or go under furniture to avoid Ben doing this. We thought Ben would grow out of it, but he has not. After finishing his meal, Ben steals the rest of Jerry's canned food. Jerry also has a habit of chasing our other (elderly) cats, which they hate, so we have them in three different areas of the house. We have never had to do this before. Help! — Sherlee, Las Vegas

Dear Sherlee: Assuming all your cats are fixed, the next step is to get feline pheromone collars for Ben and Jerry. Feline pheromones mimic a mother cat's after-birth release of pheromones that help her form a bond with her babies. In this instance, we are using them to calm Ben when he is around Jerry and calm Jerry when he is around the elderly cats. Use pheromone wipes or sprays on the elderly felines to ensure full coverage for everyone. This is not a solution, but it can help make everyone less anxious.
Next, always interrupt unacceptable behaviors. Shake a can of coins or use a Pet Corrector (makes a "shhh!" sound) to get Ben's attention when he acts aggressively toward Jerry. Yes, it may startle Jerry, too, but at least Jerry will associate the sound with Ben getting off him. Also, shake the coins or use the Pet Corrector when Jerry chases your elderly cats. When you get his attention or interrupt the behavior, tell him “no" firmly. You also may need to step in between Jerry and the elderly cats to redirect him to run in another direction.
As for the food, consider getting Jerry and Ben their own microchipped feeders. These feeders only open when the cat with the matching microchip is standing in front of the feeder. If Ben is eating everyone's food, however, that solution could get costly with multiple cats. You also can feed Ben in a closed room and leave him there until Jerry and the other cats are done eating.

When do cats stop growing? How to know your pet has reached its full size
Our feline friends go through changes just as we do, like losing baby teeth. But unlike some humans, cats do not have to wait until they are 18 years old to be considered full grown.
While still young, the age of a kitten can be determined by weight. For each month, a kitten will generally gain one pound, according to PetMD. So, it would not be incorrect to assume a 3-pound kitten is three months old. However, this estimate only works until a cat is six months old.
As your cat gets older, it continues to grow. But, when do cats stop growing?

When do cats stop growing?
Cats tend to stop growing once they become 1 year old. A 12-month-old cat is approximately the same age as a 15-year-old human, says PetMD.
However, some cats do continue to grow past the 12 month mark. Cats are considered "full-grown" when they reach 18 months, which is equivalent to the age of a 21-year-old human, according to PetMD.

Between the span of those 12 to 18 months, a cat can continue to grow in size. Some breeds do not even reach full size until they are 2 years old, says PetMD. For example, Maine coon cats are fully grown by around two years, according to PetMD.

When do male cats stop growing?
There are some growth differences between male and female cats, according to dutch.com.
Male cats stop growing later in life and grow at a slower rate than female cats, says dutch.com. Male cats also tend to be larger than female cats.
Female cats hit puberty earlier than male cats do, and unlike their female counterparts, once male cats "stop growing and reach sexual maturation, they do not go into heat," according to dutch.com.
Adult male cats will often exceed or exactly reach the higher ranges of length, height and weight for their breed, according to the happycatsite.com. For instance, male Bengal cats can weigh up to 22 pounds, though the breed's normal weight is around 16 pounds.
Additionally, male cats of smaller breeds will reach full size before male cats of larger breeds, says happycatsite.com.
At what age do cats calm down?
Cats are be mischievous little creatures, scratching and clawing their way through the world. While your cat continues to grow in size, so it does in behavioral and social maturity, says PetMD.
Once a cat reaches 2 years old, it will be more socially and behaviorally mature, according to PetMD.
When kittens are younger, they tend to be social and active, "spending copious amounts of energy playing and generally acting crazy," says Figo Pet Insurance.
But as they adapt to their environment and form a routine, cats become relatively calmer, says Figo.
How long is a cat considered a kitten?
As much as we love to call our pets babies, they stop being them at one point. For cats, their days as kittens last until they are one year old, according to Hill's Pet Nutrition. After that point, kittens become cats.
Though cats are considered adults at 12 months, adolescence lasts until around 18 months, according to Hill's Pet Nutrition.
