I have always had cats, both growing up and now as an adult. I have been a pet behavioral therapist for a number of years now. I started this blog to help other cat owners, with advice, tips, best product reviews, and to create a warm and cat friendly community.
Some cat owners don’t like to give their cats free roam of the entire home. Whether it’s for the cat’s own good or the good of the owner – it raises some moral questions. Is locking a cat in a room abuse? How much space do cats really need? And, when is it in a […]
Of all the curious behaviors my cat has, falling over when I pet her is one of the funniest. Sometimes I tease that I’m going to pet her – kind of like pretending I’m going to – and I watch her drop to her back and look at me. She’ll roll around and edge herself […]
It’s been long believed that cats can see guardian angels and other spiritual things that we can’t see. This is largely due to countless stories cat owners have shared about their cats sensing danger and warning them before it happens, acting ‘strange’ by meowing at/or being fixated on something we can’t see, and more.

Hash browns are one of those simple, inexpensive, delicious foods that are a welcome addition to just about any meal, and just as tasty to eat on their own. Like most foods, however, if you leave a hash brown unattended and have cats in your home, you need to be aware of any potential risks […]
If your cat has a swollen stomach they may just be fat, as a lot of cats are. But it may also be a sign that your kitty has a condition called bloat. Bloat, also known as gastric dilatation is a condition where a cat’s stomach becomes too full with food or air and results […]
Noticed your aging cat has lost one or more of their teeth? Don’t panic, it’s not that uncommon for a cat to lose a tooth. After a few weeks, kittens’ baby teeth start to grow. They will then lose their baby teeth by around 4-5 months of age as they’re replaced by their adult teeth. […]
Cat’s do not have prehensile tails, no. Cats are very expressive with their tails and use them to communicate with other animals, balance, and get our attention – but cannot use their tails to grab things.
