Cats have been crashing Zoom meetings since the beginning of the pandemic (and probably long before then, we just didn’t all Zoom as much as we do now.) Earlier this week, feline Zoom participation rose to a whole new level when an attorney accidentally signed on to a virtual court proceeding with a cat filter,

Without fail, anytime my husband starts a Zoom session to teach his students a lesson in mathematics, our senior cat loves to sing the song of her people for all the students to hear.

A few years ago, the novelist Margaret Atwood decided to write about cats.

When our Animal Welfare Officers rescued one-year-old Norman from a nearby feral cat colony, they soon noticed something very strange about his drinking habits. Although he’d been straying, Norman was clearly domesticated, and so we’d settled him down in our Cattery for some rest and respite before assessing him for adoption. However, after giving him

At a time when there’s so much fear and anxiety around us. it’s more important than ever to have the tools to remain calm in the center of the storm. One tool we all have is our breath. Deep breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system, which counters the fight of flight response that the current

With Stella having just celebrated her 18th birthday and napping more than ever, I wondered: Do cats exercise? Would Stella exercise? How crazy would it be to ask her that? Stella, you’re 18 now. I was wondering how you might feel about starting an exercise regimen.What’s that mean? Regimen?Exercise. Ah. Well, you know how I

With more of us spending time at home in local or national lockdowns, have we become more cat like? Many times while observing my cat Mr Ringo, it did make me wonder, who was watching who? It also made me smile when I realised that back in March, he had a more interesting life than

Cats and dogs have a knack for sleeping. They’ve certainly been gifted with the ability to make naps look like the best thing ever. As we watch with envy, our furballs contort their bodies into positions of ultimate comfort and snore away in a slumbering peace humans can never hope to achieve! And when a

When Dean Nicholson set off from Scotland to ride his bicycle around the world, he expected to learn more about our planet, maybe have some adventures.

With all of my other lost cats, the pain of missing them started to soften after about a year. So far, that hasn’t happened with Ruby. Memories are a funny thing: sometimes, they bring smiles and a warm, fuzzy feeling. Other times, they’re like a punch to the gut. However, today’s memory is definitely of

You’ve probably seen cats who are clearly supposed to be black, but instead their fur is a reddish-brown color. Perhaps you’ve seen cats with dark fur on their sides and back as well as their tails, faces, and feet. Or maybe you’ve seen one of your own cats change color over the years. Here are
