Going to the vet is like a sci fi movie for your cat, starting the moment the “spaceship” (carrier) comes out.  Medication can help a cat relax at the vet. This updated post includes information on a new option for pre-visit medication.

Having someone mooch off your plate is not a good dining experience! Watch as 7 year old Gus pushes 18 year old Athena away from her food bowl. What can you do?

Talk and Touch can help you handle your cat. Cats respond to people talking to them.  Cats know their own names and can learn to come when called. The right kind of touch can make your cat relax. A relaxed cat is much easier to handle.

The right touch can relax your cat.  A relaxed cat can be easier to handle and care for - to give medication, to groom, to trim nails

Teaching kittens people skills is essential to making kittens good pets. In this video, I am teaching people skills to two groups of kittens that were born to feral mothers in the shelter.

In this video, "working" cats learn people skills - they are introduced to people being close by  and some gentle and predictable touch.

When is cats playing with toys predatory play? The play should allow the cat to carry out a hunt on a toy - locating prey, chasing, pouncing, and capturing it

You will see cats sniffing for food when they hunt.  Give your cat some nosework to do with a snuffle mat.  Turn your cat loose and watch her sniffing for food while she hunts down those treats!

Your cat lives in a noisy world.  What do cats hear? Cats have one of the broadest hearing ranges of all the land mammals, hearing sounds from 50Hz to 80kHz.

Picking up your cat can be frightening for him. Imagine being snatched up from your favorite chair by a giant. Avoid the fear - train your cat to be picked up!

The social lives of domestic cats can be that of a solitary hunter, limited to mating and raising kittens or include life with cats, humans, and other species.

@BubsandJacks What a clever girl - bet she's good at food puzzles. How about a big pie plate with ping pong balls on top of the water? I'd bet she would make a big mess but have a great time!😍

[The Feline Purrspective @TPurrspective]

It’s fun to watch cats at play – pouncing on each other, wrestling and chasing after one another. But some of these behaviors are similar to fighting – how do you know when cats are playing or fighting?

Does your cat cough? Pay your vet a visit. The coughing cat with asthma who is not being treated can end up at the ER , panting and struggling to breathe.
