Cat Behavior

We are starting new series on our site, which will look at most common things beginner cat owners, those who are getting their first cat, will need to know.

If you try a new cat litter, sometimes the cat may not like to use it. He may be reluctant to use it, or worse, avoid litter box altogether. The reason why this happens is that cats don’t like things changing. Also, some cat litter types might be uncomfortable for your cat.

Even though some animals can go with extremely little sleep, all known species on the planet (including plants) need it. Among all pets, cats are known for being very sleepy. And indeed they are.

Is it possible to get rid of the smell from a cat litter box without tucking it away in the basement? Cat litter box odor appears to be one of the most common reasons that people choose not to have a cat. We have three cats ourselves, and their litter box rarely smells. How do we do it? Here’s how!

Usually, when people tell us that their cat is not eating, they choose words such as ‘picky’ or ‘spoiled.’ Do you strive to provide the best for your cat, but he still says no? We too have been there, but as ungrateful as your cat appears, there is probably a logical explanation of why your cat may not be eating.

Do cats dream? Most pet parents will swear that their cats do. They have seen their pets’ paws twitching while they sleep, so what else could it be if not a dream?

Cats are well recognized for their cleanliness, and there is no wonder – studies show cats spend about one third of their waking time grooming themselves, other cats, or even dogs. But did you know, grooming goes far beyond the hygienic purposes? In this article, we are going to explain you why cats groom themselves and other cats.

Is your cat knocking things off the table? We know the frustration, a cat jumps on a table and pushes a crystal ashtray on the floor. YouTube is full with videos of cats knocking things off the table, and likely you have seen “live” version performed by your furry ball of cuteness.

Do you have a bored cat in your house? Most indoor cats are bored, and that’s one of the most negative aspects of keeping your cat inside. However, indoors means safety, and we would surely love it if every cat was kept safe indoors and happy and active as well.

At first, the idea that cats recognize their names seems undeniable. After all, when you call them, they come or turn their heads toward you. But if you think about it for a second, you might not be so sure about what they actually respond to. Besides, you know scientists. They are never satisfied with “everyone knows that”!
