I'm not sure I've ever been sneezed on by my first cat, Avery. Or any other cats until I met the two Persian cats that I brought into our home not too long ago. But these two newbies - Bjorn and Athos - boy are they full of sneezes! And yes, those sneezes ultimately make it to my face. So. Dang. Often. Like at least once a week? Or if …

“My Best Friend Is My Cat, Is That Weird?” No & Here’s Why
I think there are plenty of people who would find having a cat best friend weird... But I think a lot of those people have either had very little contact with cats, probably never having had one as a pet themselves, or they've had contact with cats that just didn't vibe with them the same way some of us have. Pets are like family to us …
Why Does My Cat Wag His Tail When I Pet Him? Depends on How It Wags
In my opinion, there are two distinct ways a cat wags their tale. 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. I like "flicking," but maybe it could also …
“What Do You Call a Female Cat if a Male Cat Is Called a Tom?” Well…

Oh and also, not that you asked, the two kitties featured in the pictures of …
Why Does My Cat Put His Paw on My Mouth? 2 Cats I’ve Had Do This!
The one cat I've known to do this the absolute most, Aramis, is no longer living with me, but she was for somewhere around 8 months to a year and now lives with my brother, so I'm her auntie and she doesn't live too far so I see her often. Boy does she still do it often, whether or not I live with her, I firsthand know. (Yeah she's good at …
“Why Does My Cat Purr When He Sees Me?” Unpopular Opinion…
I'm not going to lie, I don't think many people are out there wondering why their cats purr when they see them. Most people just accept cats purring and don't really read much into it, at least that's what I believe. But some cats purr very sparsely, and some cats purr a lot. And some cats purr when they're by themselves almost …
“My Cat Bullies My Dog: Help?!?” 4 Steps to Get Your Cat to Stop
I'm going to start off by saying - I don't have a dog. But at the moment I have three cats, and when I introduced the new, second cat (Bjorn) to the used-to-be-an-only-child cat (Avery) - boy was my first cat unhappy. And I mean, yes, I was afraid violence would break out if I left the cats unattended. So I made sure they were always attended. …
