    A male cat that never gets along with any female cats?

    Some cats don't always want to interact with any other cats whether they are the same sex or the opposite sex. I wouldn't worry too much about it, much like humans, sometimes cats just like being on their own.

    My kitten started growling and hissing after getting to play with a new toy

    Could it have been because the toy was a dinosaur? Probably sounds crazy but some cats can reach to some things in a way such as hissing and growling to show fear or that they do not like something.

    When one of my cat doesn't used her litter tray at night?

    This could be several things that could be causing this. Is she too tired to get to that specific litter tray? Could she have been spooked when using that specific litter tray and now she associates that litter tray and it's position with that fear?

    Cat up a tree

    Luckily, when we had Smokey, she wasn't much of a tree climber. I was happy about that as in the past, we'd had cats as family pets and we did have issues with them climbing trees and getting stuck.

    Do you read courses online?

    It's not too often I read courses online but if there is something I have a strong interest in and I would like to learn more about it, I will look around for courses or even information to help me learn more.

    Has your cat ever gone missing?

    I don't think I have ever known anyone who has had a cat and the cat has not gone missing in some way. When I had Smokey, I remember back in May 2014 on a Friday evening, she went out like she normally does and never returned home which was very unusual for Smokey, we kept looking for her but...

    Do you buy or adopt cats?

    Whenever I get a cat, I have always gone down the route of adoption rather than buying. I feel buying promotes the breeding of cats and in most cases, many end up being left abandoned so I feel adopting is a better option. When you get a cat, do you go down the route of adoption or do you buy?

    Have you owned a cat that is shy or nervous?

    Cats are much like humans, they can either be confident and happy around other people they don't know or they can be shy and nervous around people they do not know. When we had Smokey, she was always nervous around new people until she got to know them and then she would open up to them. Have...

    How long did it take your cat to recognize their name?

    When we get a cat or even when a cat is born, one of the first things we do is give them a name. Of course, at first, they are not going to know their name and it will take time for them to learn their name. Much like humans, cats vary as to how long it takes for them to learn things such as...

    Have you ever made toys for your cat?

    Something I always did for my cats when I had them was I always bought them toys, I never thought to try and make my own toys for my cats to save money. I have heard many people say they have made their own toys for their cats and it sounds like a great idea. Have you ever made toys for your...

    How many languages do you speak?

    I only speak one language and that is English which I am fluent in. I do know some words in French, Spanish and German but I am unable to speak and have a conversation with someone in any of those languages.

    Have you been bitten my a snake?

    I have never been close enough to a snake to have been bitten by one. One of my biggest fears is getting bitten by something such as a snake. Luckily, we don't tend to have many snakes where I live and any we have in the country are pets and have their venom removed to be kept as pets.

    Dogs foods recalled in US after the death of 70 dogs.

    This is sad to hear. How something like this could have happened is shocking and sadly it has resulted in 70 dogs losing their lives. I do hope that they will be more cautious in the future before allowing food to be put on the shelves for consumption.

    Would you keep a tarantula?

    This is one of the things I can not stand when it comes to tarantulas as well, the hair on them and then with the legs as well and the way they move, it makes me cringe and freeze. I could never be anywhere near a tarantula.

    A Bird that loves to drink beer

    This is crazy! I have seen many different things that birds have consumed but beer is a new one. I love how the bird got aggressive when he took the beer away. I do hope though, for the sake of the animal and its health, they don't always allow it to drink beer.

    Fear to overcome before you die?

    There is a fear I would like to overcome before I die. I have never flown on a plane anywhere and I have always been nervous and scared to fly, many have told me flying is an amazing experience and it is something I would love to do to overcome my fear and say that I have flown on a plane.

    Do you know how to cook?

    I do know how to cook yes. I was brought up and taught by my mum and my grandma to cook and I took what I learned from them and used that to learn more myself. I tend to cook for my family daily with the odd occasion of having a small break and getting something from the takeaway.

    Have you avoided soda for a while?

    I have in the past practised not drinking soda and it is true that when you cut something out such as soda, it can result in losing weight and in some cases, a quick drop in weight in the beginning. I do still drink soda from time to time now but not as often as I used to many years ago.

    Do you travel light or heavy?

    It is not too often that I travel but when I do, it depends on where I am travelling to and what I need for the trip as to whether I travel heavy or light. In most cases, when I have travelled, I have always travelled light.

    Have any of your cats become overweight?

    When I was younger, I managed to persuade my mum to take in a cat that had been left by its owner after they moved out. We left it a little while but when we realized they were not coming back for the cat, we knew the cat was homeless. Due to how he was treated, he became quite greedy and used...
