There's a particular behaviour that not all my cats do, but that my first single cat Avery has done just a little bit over the years. He'll bite my nose. Ever so gently. And he's done it to my husband over the years, too. He really does do this quite rarely. It's not usually his jam. What's normally his jam, however, is to scent my nose, so to like rub his face alongside it. I call it ...
“Why Does My Cat Sit On My Foot” Mine Do, Here’s What I Think
I've written a couple articles already somewhat around this topic, but not quite exactly on it. There's a number of articles I wrote in a similar vein, like why cats sleep at the foot of the bed, or on human legs and this sometimes overlaps, in my opinion, with cats sleeping on or around feet. Sometimes cats also bite your feet, but I think that's for another reason entirely. For the most ...
How Often Do Cats Pee? What’s Ideal Based on My Experience with 10+ Cats
I've taken care of quite a lot of cats over the years. Some of these stayed with me in my home, others were rehomed with my brother, I've cat sat for a number of friends and family members as well. Basically, loads of cats. And while they definitely don't all pee the same number of times a day, I would say it's good to keep an eye on how much they are peeing because it can tell you a few ...
“How Many Cats Should I Have?” The Perfect Number for Me: Either 2 or 3
I've had a lot of cats live with me in the house I'm currently living in. At one point, there were seven cats under this roof, and that was for a good few months. But they weren't all mine, and they didn't all interact all the time. I'd have a couple sectioned off from the others, and gave shifts to which cats were let out at what time of day. These cats weren't all meant to stay in my home ...
Help! I Got My Cat Neutered, but He Still Pees Everywhere: What Can I Do?
I got an email from an individual who goes by Arin/Rini that essentially was asking for advise along the lines of, "I have a cat who pees in random places around the house. I tried everything I could do to make it stop but he's still doing it. What else can I do?" I started off writing a short, quick email back, realized I had way more to say on this matter than I first thought, so I decided to ...
Caging Cats at Night in a Way That’s Luxurious, Comfortable (& Humane!)
I received an email from someone named Connie who no doubt came across my article titled, "Is It Ok to Leave a Cat in a Cage All Day or at Night? (+Alternative Solutions)." She outlined her night time routine with her furry friend, and to be honest, I do agree with her sentiment that - in her case - caging her cats at night is perfectly fine. I will 100% have to state before I get into the ...
When You’re Having a Rough Time, but You Have Cats to Cheer You Up
Some days are really rough. Sometimes rough days turn into rough weeks, and months, sometimes even years. Life gets hectic, people get busy, the situation of the word goes from bad to worse to downright crazy. And during rough times, I feel like I appreciate the little moments I have with my cats even more. The little moments could be as rare and stop-me-in-my-tracks as stumbling across ...
Winter Seasons Mean Cuddlier Cats in My Household
I don't know what things are like in your home around the winter season, but in my household, it always seems to me that colder weather brings with it the warmth of cuddlier cats. Not only are my cats always cuddlier with me, never wanting to leave my side - they're also cuddlier with each other, which is a super-cute bonus, in my books. This is even true of Avery, our first cat, who was ...
What’s the Most Frustrating Cat-Related Problem You Have?
A lot of the articles I've published on this blog over the years are articles based on problems I've had at home with my own felines. Some problems were quick to fix, others which took ages to solve or still haven't been completely resolved yet. A few examples of articles like these include: My cat keeps begging to be fed all the time, how can I get him/her to stop?My cat meows and ...
