Relationships with pets can be stressful and they're definitely not always easy. While it's certainly not very common to hear stories about extreme conflict with pets at home, I think these stories exist, but aren't often shared because those with strained pet relationships either feel ashamed or as though they will be harshly judged by other pet owners for feeling a sense of resentment or hatred ...
Can Cats Eat Dog Food? Is It Safe: 1. As a Main Diet? 2. Occasionally?
If you've ever wondered to yourself whether cats can eat dog food - you're certainly not alone! I feel like this has to be a common curiosity whether or not you own a dog, or even a cat for that matter! I know the question has crossed my mind before, and I've never actually owned a dog in my life (at least not yet!). The question, however, needs to be broken down into two parts to be properly ...
For Mothers of Cats, Dogs, & Dragons: Game of Thrones Pet Names
I was so disappointed when I found out that Game of Thrones wouldn't be returning until 2019! Needless to say, I've been in a bit of a withdrawal, thus spurring me to re-watch some of my favourite GoT scenes and inspiring this article right here. I've spoken about alcohol-inspired pet names in the past, and managed to find a few I would absolutely adore naming a newly adopted pet. Brandy ...
How Fast Can a Domestic Cat Run?
I've spoken about just how high house cats can jump in an article before. Spoiler alert: It's really stinkin' high, and if you compare a cat's jump ability to a human's, it puts into perspective just how athletic our little domestic kitties are. But how about their running ability? Yes, cats certainly may be some of the most lazy creatures you could ever lay your eyes on, but have you ever seen ...
Supawstars Pet Blogger Spotlight Award! (01/2018)
Hoping everybody's been having a wonderful new year so far! We're on the last day of January now, so if you made some resolutions back in December that you really wanted to stick to (I know I did!) and have already fallen off the bandwagon (yet again - I know I have!) this is your friendly reminder to "reset" and hop back on! Never too late to try achieving those goals once again! It's a shame, ...
When Do Cats Stop Growing? At What Age Are Kittens Full Grown?
You might think it'd be a simple thing to hazard a guess at what age a cat will reach its full growth potential, finally hitting the point where he or she stops growing; sadly, however - this just isn't true. I'm going to sell it to you straight right at the start of this article: there's no way to tell exactly when a cat will stop growing, or at what age a particular kitten will be fully ...
For Small Spaces & Apartment Life: Narrow Cat Trees, Thin & Tall
One of the toughest parts of life in a small apartment with a house cat is that space is a premium and likely won't be something you have in spades. If you end up in a one bedroom, or a studio flat like me, you no longer take square footage for granted, and learn the true value of making the most out of every inch you have. With an enormous house, or even a pretty big apartment, you don't need ...
Why Does My Cat Run Away from Me? Can I Change This?
Ever headed toward a cat, had her take one look at you, then watched her hurl herself running in the opposite direction? You're really not alone. Now, if it's your cat in question, and she only does this sometimes - especially if she is touching, tapping, or even whacking you with her paw right before scurrying off, you're probably experiencing a harmless "catch me if you can" dare: a ...
PetSafe FroliCat Bolt Automatic Interactive Laser Cat Toy Review
When I first got the Petsafe FroliCat Bolt, I honestly didn't think Avery would take to it. He's a very picky fella, is so incredibly lazy, and it takes a lot for me to engage him in playtime myself, let alone for an automatic toy to do this on its own. It's a rare and mysterious thing for him to like any toy I bring him, and he's never been a fan of playing by himself before. It took me ...
