I've had multiple cats in this household, and had enough go through this home, for long enough to realize they're a really strange bunch. And while usually their quirky, odd behaviours are just fine - being neutral or even positive and pretty sinkin' cute! - when it comes down to their behaviours around litter boxes, you want to be very careful. See here's the thing - most cats come with ...
“Can Cats Like Each Other?” Mine Do Now, But Didn’t Before
So I have three cats right now. Three old man cats who are cuddly little bugs and love spending time with me. Most of the time, they'll put up with each other to be around me. But sometimes, especially during colder weather days, and especially over time, they've begun to even seek each other's warmth and cuddles out. To the point where now that it's winter and the weather's taken a little ...
“Why Does My Cat Like My Shoes?” Mine Too! 6 Reasons Why
I have three cats right now - three old man cats that snuggle up in my lap together. And while they all share being snuggle bugs in common, there's one trait that they don't all share - an obsession with shoes. Now, 2/3 are pretty into shoes.

Listen, there are a lot of weird cat behaviours, but one of the most strange to the human eye that I feel exists is when cats literally seem to be guarding their humans as they poop or use the bathroom in general. I've spoken about quite a lot of odd cat behaviours on this blog, the most similar to this behaviour being cats who follow their humans into the bathroom. To be honest, some cats ...

How to Make a Cat Meow More: Make Kitty a Chatty Cathy!
The most talkative cat I have ever known is the cat my brother adopted into his home from a shelter way back when he wanted his own first kitty. This cat's name is Walker, and boy does he talk up a storm! Did he start out that way? A little, yes. He was always talkative to begin with. But boy was he trained to talk and meow a heck of a lot more than he originally did. And so he's become ...
Here’s How to Tell if a Cat Is Chipped (& Microchip Check Yourself)
I can think of a number of different reasons you might want to check if a particular cat has a microchip. You could want to check a cat you believe has a home and is lost to see if the details of his or her previous home are on the microchip, ready for you to access and return kitty to his or her family.
