Get  your tissues ready, because you’re going to need them for this story.

’Tis the season for gratitude. It can be hard, given all that 2020 has thrown at us, but sometimes it’s healthy to take a step back and be thankful for all we have. As cat parents, we are thankful for Kitty’s snuggles, antics and companionship. But, are our cats thankful for us? “We have this

Pets have a tendency to eat all sorts of strange things. And vet charity PDSA has seen it all – from dogs that have eaten socks and slippers, toys and even dentures to cats who’ve swallowed a needle and thread or eaten a metal clasp and plastic packaging. Pets get themselves into all sorts of

Cats can be fur-coated mysteries where feelings are concerned. True, when your cat purrs in your embrace, the cat’s happiness seems obvious. And, there’s no missing a hissing cat is an angry one, but these are fleeting emotions. What about the overall disposition of your feline friend? Is your kitty happy or a sad cat?

As cat lovers, we understand a lot of what our cats tell us. We know the subtle nuances of our cat’s meows, chirps, and trills, but no matter how fluent we might be in the feline language, humans will never quite master the tongue. If we were to ask our cats, they’d probably tell us

Cats at play can get pretty rough and tumble, sometimes alarming their parents with all that flipping, rolling, and swatting. Most of the time, it’s just their little darlings tussling for a good time. Every once and a while though, cats get into a pretty good dust-up full of flying fur and angry yowling. But
