Tips & Tricks

Valentine’s Day is the perfect opportunity to show our loved ones just how much we care. For us cat owners, our fur babies are just as special to us as our human companions are. 

So, it’s completely natural that we would want to share this special day with our precious kitties! But how exactly can you give the gift of love this holiday season?

Felines use their claws for various activities such as scratching, climbing, protection, catching prey, and marking their territory. 

Most of the time, cats will keep their nails retracted while calm and content, so they will appear hidden within the fur of their paws. When your cat is feeling a bit playful or even scared, you’ll notice their claws will instinctively start to come out. 

The rising concern of obesity in cats is a fast-growing problem for pet owners, with more and more people allowing their fur babies to pile on the pounds as the years go by. 

While a husky kitty may make a better snuggle buddy, letting your cat become overweight can be incredibly dangerous for your cat’s overall health. 

Kittens learn to use the litter tray from observing their mother and are usually already litter trained when you bring them home. 

However, there are circumstances when a kitten may require some guidance in the litter box department. If they're rescued from a young age that critical period of observation could get lost and they may require a little assistance.

Is your fur baby cuddly and loving one minute, then sinking their teeth into your skin the next? Or does your kitty play just a little too aggressively and doesn't understand the strength to their bite? Biting is a predatory instinct and a typical cat behavior when playing and exploring new things. 

Surprisingly, many human foods are toxic to felines, including some of our favorite treats. One of these treats being chocolate, which is extremely harmful and even life-threatening should your fur baby accidentally eat some.
