I've never had a cat who even remotely liked being under covers until I adopted Bjorn... Ever since then I've had a few moments of panic here and there, worrying over whether he'll be able to breathe! That's him on the right... no not that white and grey cat, the one next to her, the blob under the covers! Isn't it strange how cats often sit next to or even start playing with cats ...
“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 it's a particularly eventful week, maybe 2 or 3 days ...
“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 because they are family, and the same can be said ...
“My Cat’s Breath Smells Like Cat Food” Want to Fix It?
First things first, a cat's breath should not be super smelly. Really, I've only had one cat who consistently has had bad breath, and all the other times, the bad breath my cats had was incredibly temporary (although sometimes food dependent). But we'll get into that in a hot second. Before that I'd quickly like to ask you to let me know in the comments section what you think the most ...
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 be called swiping or something? I don't ...
“What Do You Call a Female Cat if a Male Cat Is Called a Tom?” Well…
A Jerry. No, of course I'm only kidding. I'm making a reference to Tom and Jerry in case you have no idea what I'm talking about... Though, if you happen to know, is this reference still understandable to the younger generations? (I'm not that old, I swear!) Oh and also, not that you asked, the two kitties featured in the pictures of post are Athos (grey and white floof) and Aramis ...
“My Cat Has a Broken Leg and I Have No Money” What To Do
Okay I'm going to start with the bad news here - if your cat has a broken leg, this isn't something like fleas that you can potentially take care of yourself with over-the-counter medication. Although you definitely should try to go to the vet in that instance even, ideally, if you have no money and your cat's leg is broken, or may be broken, sadly, you've got to find a way to get him or her ...
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 asking for cuddles, irresistible!) The second ...
“I Love My Cat So Much It Hurts,” Me Too; Here’s Why..
I've seen a number of people online rant about how much they love their cats, but some will even go so far as to say they love their cats so much it hurts sometimes. And yes, I've gotten this feeling. Quite a lot actually. It usually has a few different colourations, and I'm going to break down some of the ways that I've encountered this kind of overwhelming emotion when it comes to ...
