Start by stepping in and quickly snapping a selfie by your cat out of nowhere. Who knows, you might get lucky with a nice "greeting" like I did - great start to any cat selfie session. Take advantage of the fact that cats are curious, and so they'll probably put up with your weirdness for a good 5 seconds. Let that first 5 seconds pass, …
Cat Love
I'm maybe a little too obsessed with cats, which is why I ended up starting this blog up to begin with. Here are some of my favourite types of posts to write on this blog - photo roundups, musings over the funny things cats do, and just general gushing over the adorable-ness of kitties.
12 Ways Your Cat Is Saying, “I’m Happy To Have You”
Ah cats. They're certainly not the most obvious pet in the world when it comes to making their feelings of affection to their humans known. No, that #1 spot definitely goes to the barking, tail-wagging balls of fluffy joy that are oh-so-often labelled "man's best friend." But while dogs hold the #1 spot in the communication-of-happiness …
Things Only Those with a Cat Best Friend Understand
You're living every best friend's dream: BFFs + roomies wrapped into one. Forget sharing clothes like other BFFs, however; not even close to possible. You'll never fit into anything your best friend wears - no matter how much weight you intend to lose. And of course most of your clothes are way too big for your roomie to fit into. To be fair, …
My Cat’s Quirks: 15 Odd Ways Avery’s Personality Shines Through
I'm convinced that a huge reason why cats feel so much like people to those of us who live with them - it's their quirks. Cats do behave similarly, it's true. They all seem to like roughly the same things: cardboard boxes, bags, crinkly things like paper. They enjoy knocking things over, they hate when doors are closed off - things like that, …
Why Do People Like Cats? 14 Reasons Behind All the Cat Love
Sounds crazy to me, but there are definitely some people out there who just don't understand why people like cats. They don't get why people have them, why many spend countless hours looking at hundreds upon hundreds of pictures of them - and the videos! Why so many viral videos of cats? Not only are these people not cat people - they don't even …
Becoming a Pet Person Doesn’t Take Much Time – Just the Right Pet
My mother was never a pet person. Growing up, I wanted a pet, but never really bothered to ask for one more than a time or two. In my mind, it was pointless. My mom just wasn't into the idea, and so I figured convincing her to get one for the family would just leave her miserable if I ever did succeed. This wasn't my brother's line of thinking. …
Are Indoor Cats Prisoners? Is Keeping a House Cat Cruel?
One year ago, my husband, my cat and I made a cross-continental move from Canada to the UK. Two English-speaking countries not too different in terms of mindset, you might think - not much of a change? While that may be true to some extent, when it comes to the indoor versus outdoor cat debate - from what I've seen, these two countries couldn't be …
