“My Cat Sneezes in My Face!” Mine Does This Too, Why It’s Ok
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 …

“Why Would My Cat Pee on the Floor Right in Front of Me?” It Happens to Me!
Oddly enough, I've had this happen to me a number of times now. Not with my first cat. Not with my second cat, either. But my third, Athos, is at risk of doing this to this day. (But that's okay because look at that face). I wrote a massive list of reasons why cats sometimes pee on their humans before, but that was long before I ever had …
My Cats Hate Being Shaved, Too: How to Shave a Cat That Hates It
I shave my two Persian cats at home these days, and each time I do it I feel it gets a heck of a lot easier. I explain my process here, but there are a load of tips and tricks I've picked up along the way that has made the process easier.
