    Does anyone have tips for administering medication to a stubborn cat?

    There will always come a time when a cat needs to be administered medication. I remember a few times Smokey needing to have medication due to health issues that would arise and I always remember giving her the medication and making sure she took it was never an easy task. I found that putting...

    How do you deal with cats waking you up in the middle of the night for food?

    Something I never had to deal with when we had Smokey was her waking in the middle of the night wanting food, we always used to feed her at a certain time on a night so that she would sleep through until morning without needing food. All cats are different and whilst some cats may be able to...

    A cat eating a snake alive 🤯!

    I have seen videos of cats attacking snakes to protect themselves but never eating a snake. I do hope those snakes were not poisonous.

    Have your cat bitten you?

    I have on a few occasions been bitten by my cat if I have been trying to put flea treatment on them or if I have been petting them and they nip me to tell me they have had enough. I have never been full on bitten by a cat though, it's always been a nip and that is more than enough for me to...

    Using a pipe cleaner as a toy for a cat?

    I believe all cat owners do buy good toys for their cats and kittens, I know I have done every time but will admit, that even though I have bought them good toys, something as simple as them finding a pipe cleaner is what they choose over their toys.

    Does your cat ignore you?

    This is true, much like humans, if cats are not hungry at the time of being fed they simply will not eat until they are ready and no matter what you try to do, they will not listen until they themselves feel ready to eat.

    Would you say your cat sleeps too much?

    This is true, you should always monitor how much your cat sleeps and doesn't sleep to be sure everything is okay. Too much sleeping though could also indicate a health issue much like with adults when we sleep too much.

    Does your cat seek your attention always?

    Cats all have different personalities and each cat will never always be the same as another cat you once had. Sometimes they may want attention and other times they may just be happy with their own company. Smokey was like that, she would sometimes want attention but she was happy with her own...

    How can I make my cat come out of his shell?

    Sounds like your cat still needs to build some trust, this can take time for cats, especially if they seem to be a little shy. Moving the food bowl will only push them to drag it away to an area they can hide. Keep doing what you are doing, show them care and that you can be trusted and in...

    Can you adopt a cat from the shelter?

    Me and my family always choose to adopt cats rather than buy them. There are so many cats that end up left behind or left out of the street due to people not wanting them and it leaves a lot of shelters crowded. We have not yet decided to get another cat since we lost Smokey a few years ago...

    Homeless cats.

    We know of at least two cats in the area where we live who are homeless and it is sad to see. They are both quite scared and both now seem to be feral so without any experience in dealing with feral cats, all you can really do is put food out for them and give them a place to stay where they are...

    How often have you wished you had a camera?

    There have been many times that the cats we have had through the years have done something and we wished we had a camera handy at the time because it was one of those moments where once the moment is gone it is gone. I would say it happened a lot more with Smokey when the urge to take photos...

    “You mean the papers are important?”

    I can't say any cats I have had have ever done anything like this when it comes to important papers but Smokey would see a piece of paper either on a table or on the floor and it would instantly be a great spot to sit.

    Do you have a cat run?

    It is always annoying when you don't have the space and trying to give them that space is not always easy. I know a few people who live in small apartments but due to the dangers outside, want to keep their cat inside which is understandable.
