Cat care

I currently have three cats, all old man cats that love to snuggle in my lap. While they share the trait of being snuggle bugs, not all of them have an obsession with shoes. Two out of three are quite into shoes. For example, Athos, a fluffy one, likes shoes a lot. He hangs out […]

I don’t have a dog, but I currently have three cats. When I introduced the second cat (Bjorn) to the previously only child cat (Avery), my first cat was very unhappy. I was afraid violence would occur if I left the cats unattended, so I made sure they were always supervised. However, I can’t live

Many people accept cat purring as a natural behavior without delving into its reasons. While some cats purr sparingly, others do it frequently, and this variation in behavior is quite interesting. Some cats purr almost exclusively when they’re alone, while others purr even just by seeing you walk into the room. This range of behavior

Facing the unfortunate situation where your cat has a broken leg can be distressing, especially if financial constraints are a concern. Unlike minor issues like fleas, a broken leg requires professional veterinary care to ensure proper healing and prevent long-term complications. While the leg may heal on its own, there’s a high risk that the

In my opinion, there are two distinct ways a cat wags their tail. Truth be told, I would only call one form of movement “wagging” strictly speaking, but the other has to be mentioned, and since it has no other good name there’s no way to really talk about it without calling it wagging tentatively.

First things first, a cat’s breath should not be super smelly. In my experience, a cat’s breath is usually a sort of neutral, leaning-on-kinda-nice smell. I’ve only had one cat with consistently bad breath. Other times, bad breath in my cats was incredibly temporary (though sometimes food dependent). Before delving into the reasons for a

I’ve never been sneezed on by my first cat, Avery, or any other cats until I met Bjorn and Athos, two Persian cats that joined our home recently. These two newbies are full of sneezes, and they often end up on my face, sometimes multiple times a week. It’s quite an experience, especially when followed

Is your cat pooping on the floor for the first time? This is definitely a cause for concern and requires immediate action. The reasons for cats defecating outside their litter box are varied, and it’s crucial to troubleshoot to identify and resolve the issue. One of the most striking instances was when I observed a

I can think of several different reasons why you might want to check if a particular cat has a microchip. For instance, you could check a cat you believe is lost and has a home to see if the microchip contains details of its previous home so you can return it to its family. Or

Have you ever encountered a cat that seems to speak as much as humans do? My brother adopted a cat named Walker from a shelter, and he has become the most talkative cat I’ve ever known. Walker was always a bit talkative, but with time and training, he has become exceptionally vocal. Walker’s communication skills
