Having to get in the carrier is a real odyssey for many cats, but if on top of that it is to go see the veterinarian, our stress level goes sky high and we can become very grumpy and even aggressive. Regularly visiting the veterinarian is very important for properly caring for a cat, but if we cats have a really hard time while outside, the visit itself can be detrimental to our health. This is why there are some tricks for taking a cat to the vet so she is calm and as stress-free as[...]

Finding a cat after she gets lost can be very difficult if she is not wearing an ID tag on her collar. This is why microchipping is a very safe system that allows us to locate our cats at all times, although not all cats have been microchipped yet. Use of the microchip ID system has spread around the world in recent years not only in cats, but also in other pets. Microchipping is even obligatory in many countries. What about in Europe? Are cats required to carry a microchip? When is a[...]

Cats are the cleanest pet you can have in your home. We spend a lot of time cleaning ourselves throughout the day. Still, on occasion we may appear a little dirtier than we would like and a little help never hurts. Bathing a cat is only recommended in very specific cases, and just like with other cat care tips, bathing must be done while keeping your pet's comfort in mind. As a cleanliness expert, given that I spend many hours a day cleaning myself with great care, today I want to share[...]

It is very normal for some cats to sleep in the litter box when they are kittens. But one thing about cats that we should all know is that if an adult cat tends to spend too much time in his litter box, something is not right and he needs urgent care to solve the problem. If you notice your cat spending a lot of time in the litter box and even sleeping in or near it on a regular basis, you need to observe his behaviour in order to identify the specific problem and solve it straight away.[...]

Cats are the cleanest pets you can find and they also have the advantage of not needing to leave the house to take care of their daily business. However, this is precisely why they always need access to a litter box that suits their needs, with clean, top-quality litter so they can feel at ease each time they go to the bathroom. Cat hygiene is one of the aspects that we need to care for the most so our pets enjoy the best physical and mental health possible. To that end, Sepicat has a wide[...]

The first thing you should keep in mind when dealing with us kitties is that we’re nothing like dogs. Having information about cats before embarking on the adventure of getting one is always a good idea. This time I want to tell you why your cat can, at times, be somewhat aggressive. Along with your effort to teach us to use the sandbox and dealing with our territorial desires, one of the clashes between humans and kitties is possible feline aggression.

So, you’re saying that we’re not capable of obeying your orders? Well, that’s just not so. Yes, we are indeed independent animals a just a tad hard-headed, but we’re not dumb. Maybe we don’t react the same way dogs do, but I assure you, humans, that you are capable of training and educating us as you please. We cats are super intelligent animals. You simply have to know the proper techniques and reward us every time we do something right. If you heed my advice, you’ll be able to[...]

I know, we’re not overly fond of you fooling around with our claws, and so we take off running as soon as we see you with the claw clipper. That doesn’t mean that we don’t need your help in order to keep our claws in good shape and keep us in perfectly healthy, both physically and mentally. The trick to keeping us still while you’re working on us is to turn our paw care time into a pleasant experience. You may not be familiar with this subject, but that’s why I’m here, to let you[...]

Mens sana in corpore sano! A sound mind in a sound body! This famous Latin phrase from the Satires of the Roman poet Juvenal also goes for us cats, too. Just like humans, we carry out a number of activities to keep ourselves physically fit and healthy. What’s more, if you keep us in good physical shape, you are assuring us a long, high-quality life at your side … which is what we all want, right? Keeping us in good shape not only contributes to our being incredibly gorgeous, but also has[...]

Meow! I just love sleeping with my human! Although I must admit that every cat is unique and has their own special way of interacting with the humans with whom they live. Generally speaking, we simply love the warmth, comfort, security and great feeling we have with you being there, hence we sleep cuddled up close to your body. Perhaps you humans find the fact that we sleep next to you (and often even on top of you) to be relaxing and pleasant, but do you know what it is we are draws us to[...]

You sure can’t say having a cat isn’t easy and convenient. We’re very clean pets. You don’t have to take us out for a walk.

Do you have a cat? You do? So, then you can surely recall all those times when you don’t have a clue where your cat has wandered off to. Because it’s actually holed up in its favorite spot in the house, lying belly up or curled into a ball but, in any case, fast asleep. A lot of people find it odd that their cat spends so much time out like a light, but the truth is that we love sleeping. We are true sleepyheads. This isn’t the first time somebody’s called us loafers and lazybones,[...]

Seeing a cat licking itself is the most normal thing in the world. Besides giving you the once-over every time you walk by them, cats tend to spend time giving themselves a good going-over by licking themselves all over whenever they get the chance. But, have you ever wondered why they lick themsleves? To us, it’s like watching the same scene replayed over and again, but cats know that the reasons behind this replayed scene may often differ. Cats lick themselves to keep themselves[...]
