Cats do lots of cool things. And when they do these cool things we often hope that they make a habit of them. Cats perching on your shoulders is definitely one of those cool things. But not all cats do this, obviously. I’ve had a lot of cats in my day, but none of them […] More
Cats are finicky little beings. They will only allow you to pet them when they want—and where they want. Should you want them to come over to you, they are going to come when they want at the pace that they want, too. Really, it’s a cat’s world and we’re just living in it. When […] More
It’s been said that cat’s spend 70% of their lives asleep. And because of this, it might actually mean that there’s more to it than just sleep. Cats sleep a lot for a few reasons, actually. One of which is because of their high protein diet, they need to sleep so that their bodies can […] More
Does this sound familiar? Your cat jumps into your lap, and instead of getting cozy, she bops her head against your chin, cheek, or forehead. Sometimes she includes a quick rub (doing her best to get fur all in your mouth), and sometimes she hits so hard it actually hurts. The encounter lasts only […] More
Cats are masters at awkward staring. They train their pretty peepers on a favorite person, and it could be several minutes before they blink or look away. It’s like they’re staring into our souls and watching every move we make. It can be heartwarming as well as a little unnerving, but have you ever wondered […] More

One of the things that cats often like to lick […] More
17th century English clergyman Thomas Fuller once said one of the most famous quotes that we know today. “Seeing is believing, but feeling is the truth.” Many of us only remember the first part of that quote, as the latter is typically not included. Obviously, a person who doesn’t believe in ghosts or spirits would […] More
Kneading is one of those adorable kitty behaviors that we cat people can’t get enough of. It’s physically impossible not to feel happy and relaxed when you spot your favorite feline “making biscuits” while getting cozy on the couch—or even better, in your lap. Kneading is the official word, and making biscuits is a personal […] More
When you have dogs, you have to expect a lot of drool in your life. But with cats, it’s a bit different. Cats aren’t known for being slobbery pets–which if you ask me, is another reason why we love them so much. So when you see strings of saliva dripping from your cat’s mouth, you […] More
Many of you out there may be nervous flyers. So you’ll be happy to know there is a unique program aimed at putting airline passengers at ease. At the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in Minnesota, travelers can visit with a group of special dogs whose only goal is to bring peace and smiles. But now, […] More
Whether they’re short, striped, fluffy, rumpy, or long and slinky, I am always mesmerized by cat tails. But “reports” say cats only have the ability to speak to us in meow code. So we must turn to the tail to figure out what it is that they’re trying to tell us. Body language is very […] More
