Do you ever look at a cat and wonder what they see? 

You’ve probably heard they have great vision—in some ways, that’s true, while in other ways, it’s not (surprising, right?). 

Whisker Wednesday is a popular social media hashtag, but do you know why cats have whiskers? Do you know how they work? 

Before we dive into what cats think of humans, it’s fair to say, we don’t have all the answers yet. We have a lot of assumptions, but there’s so much more research we need on the human-cat relationship.

Does your cat like to make biscuits? This phrase is a comical comparison that cat’s kneading behavior looks like they’re kneading dough.

Kneading is when a cat rhythmically opens and closes their paws on an object, like a blanket, an animal, their human or even the air!

Loss of appetite can be a very scary thing for cat owners. 

Although it doesn’t always mean something’s wrong, sometimes, it can be the first indicator that there’s a problem. 

We’ll take a look at the most common causes and what you can do to get your cat back on track.

Unprovoked cat bites are scary and can be dangerous, but knowing the reasons behind why they might happen is a great way to stay safe.

Before we look at each, we want to remind you to be careful and take all cat bites seriously. Cat bites often get infected and require oral or IV antibiotics, and sometimes even surgery.

Anytime you take on a new responsibility, it’s a good idea to make sure it aligns with your budget.

Adopting a pet is no different. Obviously, there’s the cost of the adoption itself, but you have to add in food, litter, and toys, along with medical expenses or insurance (if you choose to get it).

Your feline friends deserve nothing but the best. Whether you have one you spoil, an entire pride, or just need gift ideas for humans with cats, you’ll find the perfect gift in this guide I’ve put together.

As a foster mama, my household is always full of many different cat personalities.

Is meowing a way for cats to communicate?

Yes, but not in the way you’re probably thinking. You also likely think a meow is a meow, right? Not exactly – there are actually many different meows, with varying lengths and intensities.

Many mornings, I wake up to my cat Dolly bathing my hair or face. She is never shy about pawing at my hair when she wants to lick it too and will even do it from the top of my upright piano while I’m playing. What is this behavior all about?

There could actually be numerous reasons why Dolly’s licking me and your cat’s licking you. Here are the most likely explanations.

Renovations can be exciting and stressful—for you and your cat.

It’s not only the loud noises that are upsetting, but any change to a cat’s territory increases stress. Even just the sound of a new person talking in the home is enough to increase the stress level for some cats.

July 4th, Memorial Day, Labor Day, and many other holidays involve delicious food, friends, family, and fireworks. Whether in someone’s backyard or at a park, these experiences can be exciting and fun for people of all ages but very difficult for pets.

Does your cat dip their paw in their bowl before drinking? I’ve had many people associate this behavior as something wrong with their cat, but to the contrary, it’s completely normal and extremely common.

Inappropriate elimination remains one of the most frustrating problems cat parents face. When it comes to urinating on personal possessions, like your clothes or your bed, it seems to strike a different chord and feel like a personal attack.

We’ve all seen some chonky cats in social media and in the news, and while some people admit to finding fat cats adorable, the negative impact excess weight can have on a cat is anything but cute.
