Before trying to put your cat inside a cat carrier, you must understand that this is a strange place for us that is most often used to take us somewhere we aren’t familiar with, and nobody likes to be forced to get inside a place that’s new to them and then have the door closed. That’s why it’s important for you to get us used to the cat carrier and help us to see it as a safe place before placing us inside and shutting us up, so that we won’t be frightened or get nervous. Start[...]

This isn't the first time I've told you about just how very particular we cats are regarding showing how anything pleases us.

On being cat lovers and having at least one cat in your home, you are surely how long cats live. Well, just like you humans, each cat is a world unto itself, so you’ll never be able to know how long your cat is going to live beforehand. The only thing I have clear in my mind is that with the improvements in diet, immunizations and regular check-ups with the veterinarian, we cats are living progressively longer. The average lifespan of any cat is 12-15 years, but it’s becoming[...]

Although there may be many reasons, most times we have bad breath due to poor dental hygiene. Plaque is usually the cause of our breath smelling bad, and no matter how hard we try on our own, we can’t keep plaque at bay without your help.

Viruses affect us all alike, regardless of whether you’re a human or a cat.

You should bear in mind, dear humans, that although catching a cold only causes you humans a bit of discomfort, for us cats, especially if we’re kittens or a bit older, a simple cold can make us very, very sick.[...]

There are times when humans decide to leave their cat at home when they go on vacation or when they are going to be away for work-related reasons. The truth is that it’s not a bad idea, given that on leaving us at home, we don’t have any reason to change our routine or leave what we consider to be our own territory, as a result of which this should generally let us be more calm and collected. The important thing in these cases is for the person you leave to keep an eye on us to also be[...]

Purr, purr, purr… I just love to purr! Generally speaking, every time we cats purr, we do so out of contentedness, because we feel comfy, safe and want you to pet and make over us. The bad thing is that we don’t always purr out of pleasure, because purring is also our way of letting you know that we’re in pain. All cats, no matter what breed we may be, learn to purr from day two after we’re born and, as you will surely have noticed, we keep up the purring habit forever. You[...]
