For some cats, exercise is not much of an issue at all. My mom's cat for instance, who is so obsessed with playtime if you even remotely near look like you're going to take out a toy to play, he'll come out of one of his favourite hiding spots running, and would happy stay by your side for a few hours of intensive exercise. Don't play with him yourself? He'll dart around the house sprinting to get ...
Petlinks Jeepers Creepers Rat Refillable Plush Catnip Toy Review
Say hello to the catnip toy that's been with my cat Avery since the very beginning of our adventures together. If there was ever an equivalent to a child's first teddy bear for a pet, this would be Avery's. I have kitten pictures of this little fella snuggling up to to this very toy (posed, of course, in most situations; I'll share a picture later in this post), and I've even gone so far as to buy ...
Take a Moment: Find Some Baby Pictures of Your Cat
Life goes by fast and kids grow up too soon. While parents are always remarking about this when they think about their human babies, I don't think we think about it as much as we should when it comes to our fur babies. For those of us lucky enough to have been with our pets since they were wee little things, it's nice to take a moment to look back and remember the old days. We definitely don't do ...
A Simple Workout For Cats: All You Need Is Kibble!
As anyone who's read even a few articles on this site will know, my cat Avery is one of the laziest cats in all the land. Getting him to play at all is not at all an easy feat - let alone getting him to engage in exercise-intensive playtime sessions on the daily. Often, he'll meow at me to come over to play, I'll spend 10 minutes alternating between his feather wand, some measuring tape I ...
Can Cats Eat Chocolate? Is Chocolate Poisonous to Cats?
You drop a piece of chocolate on the floor and quickly realizing, rush to pick it back up. You've got a few cats in the house, and you're pretty sure chocolate is not something they should eat. Chocolate, like coffee, seems to be one of those things you just sorta know not to let a cat get its paws on. But why? And is our gut suspicion that chocolate is dangerous for cats right on the money? Your ...
How to Take a Half-Decent Selfie Photo with Your Cat
Start by stepping in and quickly snapping a selfie by your cat out of nowhere. Who knows, you might get lucky with a nice "greeting" like I did - great start to any cat selfie session. Take advantage of the fact that cats are curious, and so they'll probably put up with your weirdness for a good 5 seconds. Let that first 5 seconds pass, however, and you'll end up with a... ..yup, completely ...
These Remote Control Mouse Cat Toys Look Cool! Tried One Before?
The title is a genuine question I'd love you to answer for me in the comments: have you ever bought your cats a remote control mouse? How did they like it? Buying one of these for Avery has been on my mind for quite a long time. Pretty much the only cat toys he's ever engaged with have been ones that are interactive in nature - either with me making the toy move or with the toy moving by itself. ...
12 Ways Your Cat Is Saying, “I’m Happy To Have You”
Ah cats. They're certainly not the most obvious pet in the world when it comes to making their feelings of affection to their humans known. No, that #1 spot definitely goes to the barking, tail-wagging balls of fluffy joy that are oh-so-often labelled "man's best friend." But while dogs hold the #1 spot in the communication-of-happiness department, I don't think cats are too far behind. They have ...
