Okay I'm going to start with the bad news here - if your cat has a broken leg, this isn't something like fleas that you can potentially take care of yourself with over-the-counter medication. Although you definitely should try to go to the vet in that instance even, ideally, if you have no money and your cat's leg is broken, or may be broken, sadly, you've got to find a way to get him or her ...
Why Does My Cat Put His Paw on My Mouth? 2 Cats I’ve Had Do This!
The one cat I've known to do this the absolute most, Aramis, is no longer living with me, but she was for somewhere around 8 months to a year and now lives with my brother, so I'm her auntie and she doesn't live too far so I see her often. Boy does she still do it often, whether or not I live with her, I firsthand know. (Yeah she's good at asking for cuddles, irresistible!) The second ...
“I Love My Cat So Much It Hurts,” Me Too; Here’s Why..
I've seen a number of people online rant about how much they love their cats, but some will even go so far as to say they love their cats so much it hurts sometimes. And yes, I've gotten this feeling. Quite a lot actually. It usually has a few different colourations, and I'm going to break down some of the ways that I've encountered this kind of overwhelming emotion when it comes to ...
“Why Does My Cat Purr When He Sees Me?” Unpopular Opinion…
I'm not going to lie, I don't think many people are out there wondering why their cats purr when they see them. Most people just accept cats purring and don't really read much into it, at least that's what I believe. But some cats purr very sparsely, and some cats purr a lot. And some cats purr when they're by themselves almost exclusively, while others will purr, not even when they're ...
“My Cat Bullies My Dog: Help?!?” 4 Steps to Get Your Cat to Stop
I'm going to start off by saying - I don't have a dog. But at the moment I have three cats, and when I introduced the new, second cat (Bjorn) to the used-to-be-an-only-child cat (Avery) - boy was my first cat unhappy. And I mean, yes, I was afraid violence would break out if I left the cats unattended. So I made sure they were always attended. But I can't live like that forever, so I did my ...
How to Tell if a Kitten Is Going to Be a Lap Cat: 7 Traits That Tell
I've only had experiences with a handful of kittens. Literally - only one litter if you're only talking very young cats, though I have considerably more if you're considering kittens that are around 6 months to under a year old. Most of my experience with cats has to do with older cats, especially those that are over 1 years old, which is even past what most would consider a cat's "teenage ...
Cat Meows in Bathtub? Here’s What He/She Likely Wants
Cats are pretty much the most major oddballs sometimes. I've written a lot about weird cat behaviours on this blog, but there seems to be an endless supply of these strange cat behaviours, as I've learned firsthand with many a cat having gone through my home (I currently have three). This counts double for when they do things that are so peculiar that they involve bathrooms (like obsessively ...
Why Does My Cat Bite Me When I Sleep? How Can I Fix This?
When it comes to why cats bite you in your sleep, there are a number of reasons that could possibly explain your cat's behaviour. That being said, I firmly believe all the reasons that exist have very simple solutions you can implement that will - when implemented - make it so you can have peaceful sleep at night, or even (hopefully!) make it possible for you to sleep with your kitty without ...
“Why Does a Cat Keep Coming to My House?” My Thoughts
On the heels of writing a post explaining the reasons why stray cats sometimes follow people, I'd like to talk about why stray cats might be hanging around your crib instead. This is a bit of a different situation, although of course not altogether different. Still, if a cat's hanging around your home I think it's just slightly more likely you might be considering taking him or her in, and ...
