As cat owners, we all tend to know so much about cats whether that be through research, what we have been told by others or even just by looking after cats ourselves through the years.

As a cat owner yourself, what is one thing you wish all cat owners knew that is not common knowledge?

Cats are not substitutes for dogs, they are completely different pets. While your dog will be there whenever you need it, cats come to you whenever they wish. They do not even listen commands and dogs do. So cats are totally different from dogs as pets.

Never treat all your cats as they are the same. Each cat have a different personalities. It's why you have to find out how each one of them is built. The moment you have the information of what their personality is all about, you will know exactly how to take care of them.

Anyone who is interested in keeping a cat should know very well that they are not the same thing as a dog because they have different personalities. So if you expecting to treat a cat the same way you are treating a dog, you're making a very big mistake.

Never starve your cats or any pets for that matter. If you know that taking very good care of your pets will be a big challenge, it's better not to get them. They are better off where they are in the shelter.

It is going to be a very stupid thing for a cat owner to do when it comes to starving their pet. If being able to feed them when they are supposed to be fed is difficult, you shouldn't consider owning them in the first place.

You need to know a lot about cats health before you decide to keep them because that is the only way you will know exactly what is wrong with them or identify what is wrong with them and take them to do vet for proper medical check up and treatment.

The vet is always there to take care of your kitten's health. The most important thing is for you to be very watchful and know when they start showing signs of not feeling well or not eating well or being weak.
