You’ve likely been scrolling through social media and seen a video of someone giving their cat a luxurious bath, complete with special shampoos and a blow-dry. You look at your own cat, sprawled on the couch, and wonder: Am I...
Cats will eat the weirdest things. Hair ties vanish from bathroom counters. Earbuds disappear from nightstands. Ribbon from last night’s gift wrapping gets batted across the kitchen floor until it suddenly… doesn’t exist anymore. Most of those oddball snacks either...
You’ve scrolled through enough cat photos to know which breed you want. Maybe it’s that sleek Bombay that looks like a miniature panther, or the exotic-looking Savannah with its wild leopard spots. You’re ready to bring one home, set up...
Watch a mother cat with her litter long enough, and you’ll notice something remarkable: she’s not just feeding them. She’s running a survival school. Every interaction teaches her kittens something they’ll need when she eventually leaves, whether that’s in a...
Have you ever reached down to pet your cat while they’re eating, and suddenly they’re hissing at you like you’re a stranger who broke into their house? Or maybe your cat has started blocking the other pets from accessing the...
You’re watching your cat hack up yet another hairball on your carpet when someone suggests Vaseline. Wait, what? That stuff sitting in your bathroom cabinet? It sounds bizarre, maybe even dangerous, but people swear by it for treating hairballs. So...
There’s your cat, sprawled across your lap in a patch of afternoon sunlight, eyes half-closed, perfectly relaxed. You wait for it – that familiar rumble, the tiny motor that usually starts up when they’re content. But there’s nothing. Just silence....
The rubber band hits the floor with a soft snap, and before you can blink, your cat is batting it across the kitchen as they’ve just caught the world’s bounciest mouse. It stretches, it wiggles, it moves exactly like prey....
If you ever find a tiny kitten, or maybe you just brought home a “two-month-old” from a shelter, but something feels off about that estimate because the kitten seems too small, too unsteady, too… young, we’re here to help. Knowing...
If you care for feral cats, or if you interact with them every so often, you likely already know how tough it can be to keep them healthy. When intense itching, hair loss, and scabby skin enter the picture, things...
You’re getting dressed for work. You pull on a clean sweater, glance in the mirror, and somehow it’s already covered in cat hair. Your cat hasn’t even been in the room. You don’t know how this keeps happening, but you’re...
Your cat’s spay appointment is booked. You’ve arranged time off work, prepped a quiet recovery space, and bought one of those cone collars they’ll definitely hate. You know this surgery is the right call—it prevents unwanted litters, cuts down on...
Your cat just leaped onto the bookshelf, tail streaming behind them like a banner. As they settled in, their tail curls around their paws. You’ve probably never measured it, but you’ve definitely noticed: that’s a lot of tail. And you’re...
