Do you need to soak this product before feeding to cats?

No, but you do need to mix it with canned, moist food. It sort of disintegrates into the food as you mix it in.

No. This product is a very, very fine powder and I sprinkle about 1/8th teaspoon on their dry breakfast food and then mix it with my fingers to get a dispersed coating on all their food pieces. I also put the same amount on their dinner food. I have to say that our two cats are very picky about their food, and this never posed a problem for them, not even the first time we used it. Truly love this product...I feel that I am doing something very good for my cats.

I guess it depends on your cat. The idea is to deter further urinating, but it may not deter all cats. I think a lot depends on how soaked the area is as well. I'm only guessing that an area that is really soaked underneath (carpet pad, soil?) is harder to deter than a fresh one. If I were testing the idea, I'd spray the area and let it soak a bit to get rid of the urine odor and then perhaps rinse off the pea gravel to get rid of the Fizzion. Even if you can't smell it anymore, I think your cat could for a while anyway. In my atrium, occasionally a stray sprays one of the outside walls. I spray it down with Fizzion but ,eventually, it gets sprayed again. I guess it depends on your cat. The idea is to deter further urinating, but it may not deter all cats.

Yes if your cats won't eat them like a treat. But the theory behind them is for the pieces to be chewed thus cleaning their teeth.

I've always mixed it with wet food and my cat has never rejected the food. I haven't tried it with dry food.

I really don't know about your cat. We use our soaker to keep squirrels from climbing up the screen around our patio. It is not harmful but they do not like the spray. It shoots out a spray somewhat like the shower. If you sprayed it all in one spot, it would probably make a puddle. If you are trying to give your cat a bath, the cat would probably scratch you and tell you it doesn't like baths. I find it hard to envision what you plan to do. Best advice is send your cat to the vet for a bath and pick up a nice clean cat later. Use your soaker to play water spray games when the weather is hot. I am very allergic to cats!

I've always used it on wet. The cats actually love it. After using it for several days, I didn't use it and they looked at their food and looked at me, and wouldn't eat til I sprinkled it on ;)

I wouldn't suggest it. It would probably be quite messy. I only feed my cats wet food, too. But there are a few brands of healthy treats that would work in this feeder.

My cats don't. Just be sure to mix the powder in well with the wet food. If they hit a large enough clump of the powder, it'll be a little bitter for them. A trick I used was to heat the food a little to amplify the smell and taste of the food.

You do not need to soak it. It is amazing. The material inside when heated , produces moisture.Hope that helps :)

I hand wash my cat's toys in soapy water and air dry. I would recommend removing all the Catnip as it might spread the scent over the other clothes in the wash.

Yes, but please note # of pumps needed per cat pound. If a grown cat, you'd have to practically soak the cat with 10-15 pumps. I mainly buy it for our shelters's kittens, 1 pump per kitten pound.

Cosequin capsules are not to be shoved down your cats throat. You pull them apart and sprinkle the powder on their food. Preferably wet food. Just stir it in to dissolve. There is apparently no "off putting" taste to it. I use it every time I feed my older cats wet food. My two seniors are 18 and 15.

Please do not use this on your cats. Cats lick themselves in order to clean themselves and I don't think you would want your cat to ingest body oil, would you? Not a great idea.

absolutely! I give both medications to my cats, every other day, at the same feeding,mixed in wet food.

You COULD but it is very large. My cat doesn't always eat her ration of food daily so cannot sprinkle it on. I give it to my cat daily in a teaspoon of yogurt. I checked with my Vet and with the company as well. Both ok'd it. She thinks she is getting her 'treat' every morning. She takes it for a bladder disease and now for her joints as she is older. Been giving it to her this way for 8 years.

It works immediately for my cats. Check to make sure you're using the right amount. Don't be afraid to use a little extra. I usually make their water a very light mint color.

Absolutely not- just use whatever litter the cats are used to and mix this into the litter- I would add if you use a strongly scented litter you might go with unscented so they can smell the hay smell from the litter additive. This stuff is a miracle.
