Cats aren't always the easiest pets to keep entertained. Yes, some kitties are remarkable in their ability to cure themselves of boredom; my mum's cat, for instance, will even go so far as to choose a toy out of a basket, pull it out himself, then play with it for some time with no human intervention necessary. I'm convinced that these types of cats are rare, however, and that most cats need a ...
22 Reasons Why Everybody *Should* Want to Be a Cat
Cats' lives are enviable, to say the least. Kitties probably have some of the best lives of all the species on the planet. Anyone who can't see that is, in my opinion, missing the full picture. If you're here, chances are you've thought about how nice it would be to be a cat before. You might be wondering what my reasons are for wishing I was a cat every so often, and pondering about whether ...
15 Cute Catnip Toys I’d Love Even More Than My Cat Would
I wish Avery liked catnip as much as the next cat, but he falls into the 25-30% of cats that don't really respond to catnip. Sure, he still loves nibbling on it, and even appreciates the smell, but those adorable after-effects so many cats have to catnip - not my kitty. Unfortunately for me, this means he's pretty unphased by a good catnip toy - no matter how much other kitties would kill for that ...
My Cat Likes Lettuce! Can Cats Eat Lettuce? Is It Safe to Feed to Cats?
It's a strange day indeed when you realize your kitty actually adores the leafy greens in salads you used to turn down as a kid. When my mom used to tell me her cat liked lettuce, I chalked it down to her cat being an oddity. My mum's cat, Walker, eats pretty much everything he can get his hands on - with or without permission. I assumed that he just liked lettuce because he's a strange ...
For Being Here Through Thick & Thin – Thank You Kitty
For days I woke up a little blue, and days that stared out great, but where something went wrong and ended up rocky. Nothing more comforting than some quality time with you. For times when I didn't need to talk things out - just needed some comfortable silence shared with a good friend. Also for the days I did need to talk it out - though not for advice, just to have someone there to ...
Why Is My Cat Crying? Is He Sick? Does He Want Something? Just Vocal?
If you're here, chances are it's because your cat meows a lot; maybe even wakes you up with loud begging every morning, or cries at your bedroom door at night, and you just want to know if kitty is telling you he or she isn't feeling well or if kitty's simply being vocal and is indeed just another of the many cats who whine and beg when they're trying to get your attention for some food, play ...
My Cat Sleeps All Day: Is This Normal? Is It Unhealthy?
There's something about a sleeping cat that tugs at all our heartstrings. I'm convinced that not even a "dog person" (in quotes because I'm not convinced they should be real) can look at a cute little feline all curled up in a ball for a nap and not be suckered in. Picture from post Phone Picture Roundup Part II: Sleeping Cat Pictures I mean how is it possible to not want to hug a lovely ...

Now the World's Best Cat Litter isn't a perfect litter, but that's not really on them. I don't think there's a ...
