Humans are naturally drawn to us cats because we make amazing household companions—we’re funny, we’re clean and we’re extremely adorable. But, like everything in this world, we’re not perfect and we have things about us that may cause our humans to take a step back, like our tendency to use our claws on inappropriate things. …
Just like human babies, kittens are irresistibly adorable and fun to play with (although none will ever be as cute as me). But, you should keep in mind that taking one in is a lifetime commitment and you’re going to have to be ready to take on the responsibilities that go together with having a …
Hearing the words “spay” or “neuter” can be quite daunting. For some, it’s because they believe it’s an unsafe and unnecessary procedure that can put their cat in a risky situation, while for others, it simply costs more than they’re willing to pay. But, unless your veterinarian has told you that your cat is too …

They’re usually most popular during the holidays or during special days, like Mother’s day, Valentine’s day or anniversaries, as humans call it.

Weirdly enough, humans prefer their furniture intact and without markings. Although, how they’re able to mark their territory without using claws is beyond me. My advice to humans facing this …
