Cats: The Purrfect Companion

Cats have been popular pets for centuries, and it's easy to see why. They're low maintenance, adorable, and provide endless entertainment. Here are some reasons why cats make great companions: Affectionate nature: Cats are known for their affectionate nature. They show their love through purring, rubbing against you, and even kneading. Independent: Cats are independent creatures, so they don't require constant attention like dogs do.

Their soft purring has a calming effect and petting them can be therapeutic. Playful: Cats are playful creatures and love to play with toys.

Which Food can and Cannot be Safely Consumed by Your Cat

However, because of their different metabolism, there are certain foods that are not suitable for cats that a dog could cope with. Some of the products on this list may seem obvious, but accidents happen, and it’s important to take precautions, so your cat does not eat them by mistake.

Do Cats Kill Their Kittens?

As disturbing as it might be for humans, mother cats can sometimes kill their kittens. They may do this because they feel that something is wrong with their offspring, because of stress or fear, or a hormonal imbalance. Why Has My Cat Killed Her Kittens? Most mother cats have strong maternal instincts that make them protect their kittens as much as possible. However, although rare, there are a few reasons why a cat may choose to kill their kittens: 1. Disease Control Mother cats can easily tell which of their kittens are healthy and which ones are not. In case one of their offspring might be carrying a disease, potentially one that could put the health of the rest of the litter in danger, the mother will decide to eliminate that risk altogether and put an end to the sick kitten’s life. Sometimes, if the kitten is really debilitated and has a very low chance of survival anyway, the mother might make the decision in order to save her energy and resources. That way, she is able to fe

Vet Warns That Cat Population is “Suffering Dental Pain in Silence”

Around 85% of cats aged over three suffer from some degree of dental disease, and regular brushing of the pet’s teeth can help, says a leading London-based feline vet. Dr. Jeremy Campbell, Clinical Director at The London Cat Clinic, one of only a handful of practices in the UK that is cat-only, recommends tooth brushing together with 6-monthly to yearly dental checks to spot disease early. This can help prevent the formation of tartar, which can slow the progression of diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Dr. Campbell explains: “One thing that pet owners can do at home to help reduce the progression of dental disease in their cat is brushing the teeth regularly where possible. This isn’t easy with cats and they need to be trained from kitten-hood but it is possible. “Owners are often under the impression that feeding 100% dry food will ‘clean’ their teeth sufficiently. However, recent studies have shown that regular dry food has little abrasive qualities, as cats tend to che

Why Do Cats Smack Their Lips? 10 Reasons

Cats smack their lips for a range of reasons, while some are normal behaviours others are the result of medical conditions. The most likely reason is simply that the cat has recently eaten and is tasting food remnants. Other reasons may include excessive salivation, mouth ulcers or dental issues, dryness in the mouth, nausea, and stress. Below are 10 of the common reasons cats smack their lips and discuss when the behaviour may be cause for concern: 1. Tasting Food Remnants The most likely reason your cat is smacking their lips is that they are grooming themselves after eating and tasting food remnants. This is normal behaviour and lip smacking might be a part of your cat’s daily grooming ritual. It is common for cats to groom themselves soon after eating as they want to remove all signs of food from their lips and fur. While grooming, they will come across remnants of the food they have just eaten and this will cause them to smack their lips. Watch your cat closely to determine w
