Introduce new cats slowly for the best chance of success. But even more important is considering whether your resident cat will cope with a new kitten in the house, and whether your house is set-up to have potentially 2 cats living separate lives (at least in the short-term).

@ShropsCatRescue @madridnantes @MargLloyd He is very cute!

Just doing some (very much needed) house-cleaning when I discovered this! Even though it doesn’t look the best this brown smear is a build up of cat facial scent and helps cats to feel secure in their environment so don’t clean it off (result!) 😻

Yes she looks cute, but...

The ancestor of domestic cats eats 8-20 small meals a day. You can help your cat by making their feeding regime more natural.

Understanding relaxed cat body language helps you recognise when your cat feels safe, comfortable and content.

Do you know what the 'tail up' posture means?

[Cat Behaviour Vet @catbehaviourvet]

Reading and understanding your cat's body language is the starting point for understanding what they are thinking.

Cats want choice over their interactions with us - always consider whether you cat really wants to be touched before you try.

Senior Assistant Yuki always knows where the best spot is!

Why do cats bite? 🐱

From play to feeling overwhelmed, understanding the reason can help you respond the right way.

Try to keep your cat's routine consistent to help them feel more secure.

Imagine having no choice all day long...

Your cat isn't being difficult, something is usually missing from their life. Which one matters the most?

Cat Behaviour Vet's Senior Assistant Yuki had a tooth extraction last week. Pain can lead to behavioural changes in cats but they can be very subtle. Always alert your vet to any minor behavioural changes so they can look for signs of pain. Can you spot the hole?

No one enjoys a game they can never win, and your cat is no exception. If you’re constantly waving a toy just out of reach, it can quickly turn fun into frustration. Playtime should be both physically engaging and mentally satisfying for your cat.

When your cat is stalking, pouncing, leaping, and chasing a toy but never gets the reward of a successful capture, the experience becomes more exhausting than enriching.

Your cat needs multiple small victories. Think of the toy as prey: it should get caught, wiggle free, and escape a few times during the game. As the session winds down, slow your movements and allow your cat one final, satisfying “capture.” This mimics a successful hunt and leaves your cat feeling satisfied.

Remember, interactive playtime isn't just about physical exercise. Playtime should be mentally rewarding.
