There's this move I like to call the cat "bunny kick" that you will sometimes see cats do where they grab an object, wrap their front arms around it, and then quickly "bunny kick" or repeatedly push out with their legs to kick an object over and over with their hind legs. If you imagine a cat having some type of prey in their arms when they do it, you can imagine how it'd prove to be a pretty ...
“My Cat Guards Me When I Poop?” Super Weird, My Theories
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 ...
Why Does My Cat Rub Her Face on Mine? Lion King Helps Answer
If your cat - male or female - has ever rubbed his or her face against yours, chances are high you believe this to be a form of affection in some way, even if you're not quite sure why or how. You may think to yourself that it feels like a very cat thing to do. That it feels like some kind of affectionate way of engaging with you, but not know exactly why or how this might be the case and want ...
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. Or you could want to double check to make sure the neighbourhood cat you've been taken ...
“My Cat Pooped on the Floor for the First Time” Yes, It’s an Issue
If you're curious about whether or not your cat having pooped on the floor for the first time is cause for concern, I would say one hundred per cent a resounding yes, but it may not be a serious concern particularly, it's just something definitely needs to be sorted out. The cause for why cats do this is incredibly varied, and I'll get into the ways you should troubleshoot to figure this out ...
How to Convince Your Mom to Get a Cat (The Best Way)
Here's the thing, I'm going to be upfront about this from the start. We had a mom who would never in our wild dreams let us adopt a pet, and when I moved out of the house, the purrfect little kitty came into my life. He was a stray that came 'round my husband Thomas and my house, and we took in that cat after falling in love with him, and after seeing how epic having a cat was (he already knew ...
“Why Does My Cat Sleep Next to My Head?” Why My 3 Cats Do…
Cats do some pretty strange things, and of those, sleeping next to their humans' heads is probably one of the least strange feline behaviours. That being said, it is a little peculiar, especially when we're trying to get some shut-eye and our cat just so happens to be a little in the way. For me - a cat sleeping next to my head often ends up with me having a tail to the face, over and over ...
“My Cat Is Stupid” I’ve Got 1 Wicked Smart Cat & 2 Stupid Ones
If you've ever thought to yourself, "Man, my cat is stupid," and wondered if it's just him or her and whether all cats are that dumb, chances are high (in my opinion) that the answer is a bit of a coin flip. What I mean by this is that there's likely a 50/50 chance the answer you're looking for is, "It's all cat, they're all a little dumb, quite special little things," versus "Nope, it's ...
