If your cat peed on you, there's no straightforward way to know exactly why. There are quite a lot of explanations for this fairly straightforward behaviour, and narrowing them down to just one may actually prove fairly tricky. That being said, when a cat pees on a human, it's evidence there's something wrong, and while you may not be able to …

Befriending Strays: How to Get Stray Cats to Come to You & Like You
Three times in my life, I've befriended feral cats friendly enough to let me come near them, pet them, and ultimately bring them into my and my brother's homes. The first time this happened is actually with my very first cat, Avery. We were cat sitting for a friend when Avery started coming by our house, begging for food. It took us a while to …
How to Get Two Cats to Get Along: What I Did & Yes, It Absolutely Worked
If you're here, my guess is you've came across this article because you were looking for a solution to a problem you already have, or one you're expecting to have in the upcoming months. Either you've taken in multiple cats, and at least one of them doesn't get along with another, or you've just adopted a second cat, or you're hoping to adopt kitty …
Why Do Cats Bite Their Nails? Why Does Mine Chew & Pull at Her Claws?
Let me start off by saying that some nail biting in cats is very normal, healthy feline behaviour.

Why Does My Cat Lick My Hand & Fingers so Much? What’s It Mean?
I've written about why some cats bite, then lick you before, but I do feel the act of licking by itself is quite a bit different from biting then licking your hands and fingers. My newly adopted furbaby, Bjorn - a stray cat who just wouldn't leave our property - is obsessed with licking. We learned this fact about him quite early on, ages before we …
My Lap Cat’s Personality Didn’t Change After I Got a Second Cat (This Did…)
I previously wrote an article titled, "Help! My Cat's Personality Changed After Adopting a Second Cat!" where I addressed the fact that there are times when only-child, Velcro cat personalities take a turn for the less social, cuddly, and attention-seeking when a second cat is introduced into the home. I mentioned there that I had zero firsthand …
How to Train Cats to Be Comfortable & Calm in Cars – It’s Easy, I Promise
Roughly a week ago I got an email from a lovely woman who recently took in a gorgeous stray cat she found in her neighbourhood. Worried about the fact that he had symptoms of a cold that never seemed to go away (even after being medicated), and that the vets at her current clinic didn't seem to know what they were doing, she emailed asking for my …
