Every year, cat owners find themselves scratching their heads for ideas to keep their cats out of their Christmas trees. What's not fair, of course, is that every cat is different and what works for some cats won't work at all for others. Orange peels in my garden, tree and other areas deter some of my cats, but one could care less! Here are just a few things you can try to cat-proof your holiday tree.
People try to heal themselves with all kinds of things today. Some ideas might be good, some... not so much. The pet owner who thought it would be a fantastic idea to heal a cat with honey is no longer the cat's owner. The owner applied the honey for its antibacterial properties, hoping it would help the cat's leg. The cat's ailment? Cancer. He died even after receiving an amputation.
Fans of New Zealand's famous Internet cat, Paddles, are sad today. The beloved animal was run over and killed by a car on Tuesday, leaving Paddles' family to mourn the cat's untimely death. Not only was the ginger cat the "first cat," as it belonged to the country's Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, but it was also followed online by thousands of subscribers, including those of the cat's Twitter feed. The cat's extra claws, which resembled adorable Dr.
Does your cat or kitten attempt to destroy all of your furniture, rugs and soft things in your home in search of something to scratch? You can't blame him or her if you haven't provided something to scratch. Cats have a natural need to scratch so as their owners we have to find something to satisfy this urge.
There are many cardboard posts that are inexpensive and easy to use. You just put one wherever your cat tends to scratch to encourage scratching to take place there instead. You can also add some catnip to attract your cat if he or she enjoys the herb.
If you have a cat or dog, it's a good idea to not let your pet give you kisses, no matter how sweet it seems. It turns out that your pets' bacteria can be deadly. There can be up to one million live bacteria in a single gram of cat hair. Bacteria found in the saliva of healthy dogs and cats can get into the human bloodstream and kill us.
If you've noticed your cat talking to other cats, you've probably heard a series of chirps or hisses. That's because cats typically don't "meow" at each other but rather at us. It's a language they developed just to speak to humans which is pretty amazing!
Can you leave your cat home without hiring a babysitter? Can you sleep through the night without having to feed your cat every 2-3 hours from your body? Do you worry about your cat constantly, especially when it refuses to eat or gets a fever or needs to go to the hospital because of RSV or is born prematurely and needs to stay in the NICU for three months or pay thousands of dollars to fix its teeth or give it a good education or try to help it become a responsible citizen or or or...
Cat cafes are popping up everywhere. Little eateries where you can play with cats while you sip tea and have a snack, they have increased cat adoptions in the communities in which they exist. In some cities, cat cafes are so popular that reservations are required in order to have a meal next to a group of cats.
If you have multiple cats, it may seem as if they spend half of their lives just puking all of the time. Hopefully that's just your own perception and not reality, since contstant vomiting would be a serious issue! But if your cat coughs up the random hairball or throws up on occasion, it's likely nothing to worry about.
Recently my family adopted a new cat and we are going through the process of introducing her to our other pets. We've been in this situation before but it's been many years, and it's funny how much you forget! So far she's done pretty well, but both the other cats and the dogs have given her a tough time. The dogs have just been excited to see her, of course, but the other cats have done some hissint and attempted to start a fight or two.
