Good To Know

My younger sister and I spent endless hours playing the original Memory game when we were kids. It’s been fun seeing newer versions of the game crop up — especially when cats are involved! This version in particular is hilarious. Have you ever noticed how some people look just like their pets? Well, you’re in

A cat who was found straying after his owner passed away has been found a loving new home by national pet charity Blue Cross. The two-year-old ginger cat was found curled up on a doorstep in Fulham and was unable to stand on one of his paws. His finder, who brought him into the charity’s

I love fresh air, and so does Allegra, and we both love having the breeze come in through the open screened windows. Unfortunately, window screens can be an invitation for disaster if they’re not secure enough to prevent your indoor cat from getting out. Even worse, if you live on a higher floor, falls through

Does a werewolf howl? Or does she say meow? If she’s a little Lykoi kitten name Gracie, she’s definitely a werewolf who meows at the full moon! And because she’s a werewolf, it makes sense Gracie carried an air of mystery about her for a while. One that vexed foster mom Brianna Waltman until Gracie

You keep your Kitty indoors at all times. Then you get a call from your vet — she tested positive for worms and fleas. You think, “Really? Can an indoor cat get fleas and worms? How is this possible?” The bad news is that even an indoor only cat can get fleas and worms, says Dr.

This post is sponsored by Assisi Animal Health* After Allegra was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism at the beginning of this year, I immediately started her on Assisi treatments. Ultimately, all disease is caused by inflammation in the body, and since she was also overgrooming and showed some occasional mild possibly IBD related symptoms, it just made

Cats express their emotions differently than us, but sometimes, feline reactions line right up with human expressions. Just like the moment a cat realized she was pregnant during an ultrasound. You may have seen the pictures of Ulla the tabby cat looking surprised to discover the news as she sees her unborn kittens on the

Growing up an only child on acreage, Samantha Ginsburg was no stranger to finding friendship in the cats and dogs on the property. The experience didn’t just teach her the importance of the human-animal bond but also pragmatic care, husbandry and responsibility. “We lived on a couple acres, and people would always dump unfixed cats

An unprecedented coalition of 50 animal welfare charities is urging the UK Government not to waste a ‘once-in-a-generation opportunity’ to redefine our relationship with animals through a new animal health and welfare strategy. The group has released a new vision for animal welfare “Act Now For Animals” – setting out the sector’s priorities for creating

Last Sunday I got my second Covid jab, and relief doesn’t even begin to describe what I felt. It truly feels like the end of this year-long nightmare is finally getting closer, and I can’t wait to resume some activities I haven’t felt comfortable with for over a year. I’ve got one more week to

97 kittens in an RV sounds like paradise to a cat lover, but as Best Friends Animal Society reported, “It was a ride to save their lives.” For the kittens, the destination would be paradise—the paradise of a forever home. The almost 100 rescued kittens will now have the chance to grow up happy and

If a beautiful behemoth is what you’re seeking in a feline companion, the Maine Coon has what you’re looking for. The loyal, dignified, majestic Maine Coon represents all of this and more — and does so while serving some serious #hairgoals. Maine attraction Believed to be the oldest cat breed native to North America, the

Words by Tina Nayeri Rescued from the busy streets of Tenman-cho, Japan, by his owners CJ and Ryan, Gershwin the cat dodged a life as a young stray to become a confident adventurer with his new humans. Their chance meeting marks the day that all their lives changed forever. This audacious and equally charming tabby

We all know how much cats love boxes, but apparently, even the two-dimensional outline of a square box on the floor is attractive to them. A new study has found that cats will spontaneously sit inside an optical illusion that merely looks like a square. Believed to be the first of its kind, the study

Cats sit anywhere and everywhere they want. All cat lovers know this as solid truth, but if felines find perches on any chair, counter, or bed, does it mean their fuzzy butts are pressed firmly against those surfaces? It’s a good question because just as we know how cats will sit anywhere, we also know

According to The National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, between 6 and 10 million Americans are allergic to cats or other pets. If you’re an allergy sufferer who also happens to be a cat lover, you may be interested in low-allergen cats. But what makes a cat hypoallergenic? Low-allergen, or hypoallergenic cats, are those

Hi everyone, It’s Oliver here today with an update from Katzenworld HQ. 😀 You may remember that we told you about our surprise box from FreakMEOWt. Well today we are back with another look at their awesome catnip toys. Oliver: This looks a bit like that fishy stuff the humans sometimes bring home after work.

Having been the beneficiary of the profound changes cats can bring into our lives for a good part of my own life, I always enjoy memoirs about life changing cats. In The Cat with Three Passports: What a Japanese cat taught me about an old culture and new beginning, CJ Fentiman shares the story of

What do you do when your city is overrun by rats? There are the exterminator and poison options, but then you’d be putting the city and all its living inhabitants at risk of toxic exposure. As Tree House Humane Society of Chicago explains, “Common methods used to control rats, such as poison, gassing, and traps

My cat, Stella, never met a bowl of wet food she didn’t like, which has become an issue in her later years. I decided to broach the topic, gently. ©cglade | Getty Images Hey, Stella — it seems like you’ve put on a few pounds lately. I know! Isn’t it great? I feel like a

This May, cats will be in the spotlight with specialist cat insurer, Agria Pet Insurance, dedicating the month to celebrating the differences that makes every cat special, while supporting those in rescue. Agria’s recent survey of the current situation in the UK’s cat rescues confirmed some uncomfortable statistics – including that 80% of cats are

Hi everyone, it’s Allegra! Remember how I told you about how I helped Mom paint our coffee table a couple of weeks ago? Well, guess what! I got to help with another project! This time, Mom painted the end tables that go with the coffee table. But instead of painting them in the living room,

Pusic the cat isn’t alone in his love of toilet paper. Like most cats, he used to love tearing into the fluttery rolls and having a wild time. But that was in the early days of his adoption when he was a mere kitten from the streets of Belarus who didn’t know toys from TP.

A popular misconception is that cats age seven years (in human years) for each calendar year. In fact, feline aging is much more rapid during the first two years of life. A cat reaches the approximate human age of 15 during his first year, then 24 at age 2. Each year thereafter, a cat ages approximately four

It is estimated that 50-90% of all adult cats have dental health problems, with periodontal disease being the number one culprit. The good news is that most dental conditions are preventable and treatable, if caught early. The only way dental disease can be diagnosed definitively is via a thorough oral exam by your cat’s veterinarian.

This ball of cute kitten fluff is just too purrecious! Her name is Lilo and though she had a bit of a rough start, she’s now thriving with her forever family thanks to foster care magic. But seriously, could she be any cuter? Though she was underweight, sick, and in need of some serious TLC

The word “dogged” describes cat champion Dr. Jennifer Conrad perfectly. She is the founder and director of The Paw Project, which educates the public about why declawing cats is inhumane, with the goal of getting this painful surgery banned completely in the United States and Canada. And while there is a long way to go,

Since lockdown began, there has been an influx of cats coming into Wood Green, The Animals Charity with feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). Since these cats have more specific needs than non-infected cats, including access to enclosed gardens, it takes significantly longer for them to be rehomed.
