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 ...
“Will My Cat Suffocate Under the Covers?” I’ve Thought This Myself…
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 ...
