Cat bites sent more than 400,000 people to emergency rooms in the US each year.1 Not scratches. Bites. And the reason they’re so medically serious has nothing to do with how hard the cat bites. It’s about what’s in a...

Orange tabby cats are everywhere, and yet most people know surprisingly little about what actually makes them so fascinating (unless you are owned by one, of course). The colour, the personality, the famous M on their forehead, even those little...

Cats vomit. It’s one of the less glamorous facts of life with a feline, and most cat owners have cleaned up more than their fair share of it. But when it’s happening consistently after meals, it stops feeling like a...

Feral cats are everywhere. Slipping between parked cars, darting under porches, appearing briefly at dusk before vanishing again. Most people see them, feel a momentary pang of sympathy, and move on with their day. And some people leave food. That...

Your couch looks like it survived a minor apocalypse. The curtains have mysterious vertical shreds. That new rug you splurged on is already showing signs of feline vandalism. Yelling hasn’t worked. Scolding just makes your cat avoid you. And you’re...
