Whether you are a casual cat lover or the Crazy Cat Lady/Guy, these quotes about cats are sure to bring a smile to your face. I remember seeing a book of these many years ago (and maybe a calendar, too) that I wanted to get for my cat-loving friends. Now you can look them up online and even copy and paste them to share on social media!
I've got one and I bet you do, too: a cat that bites when it's had enough! Many people wonder why cats bite you when they otherwise seem as if they are enjoying their time with you. When you think about how cats can't talk, it becomes pretty simple: they bite because they want you to cease and desist!
For many years, we cat lovers have insisted that our cats are smarter than dogs. They just don't listen to us because of their feelings of indifference or contempt, right? It turns out that cats are about as smart as bears, which sounds pretty smart--but dogs beat them both!
Say it ain't so.
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.
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're a fan of cats and geek culture, you're in luck: you're living in the best time (so far) to celebrate both! People have been creating incredible geeky cat toys, towers and other goodies to keep both you and your kitties happy. From litter box covers to scratching posts, toys to lasers, there's something for everyone in multiple fandoms.
It's so hard for me to understand why black cats are the last cats to get adopted and therefore the first to get euthenized. Why don't people love black cats like I do? My first cat was black, fluffy, gorgeous and one of my best friends. I still miss her to this day. Since then, I've never been without a black cat, owning three others so far. I'm sure I'll never be without one.
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...
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.
Do you have a cat who loves to scratch the heck out of your furniture? Most cat lovers have experienced this at some point or another and while it's not always preventable, it can often be stopped with some ingenuity.
