Cat Training

Many people believe that cat training is too difficult, and often let their cat’s behavior problems continue based solely on this fact. The idea that cats are too hard or too stubborn to train, is just simply not true. They may not be as easy or as willing to comply as dogs might be, but training your cat is not an impossible task, in fact, it isn’t even very difficult if you go about it in the right ways.

Now, when referring to cat training, I don’t mean teaching your kitty to do tricks. Read more…

Why You Need A Scratching Post For Your Cat

As a cat lover, learning about this subject will help you more in the long run than you may realize. Make your cat happy by providing a scratching post. Cats are generally lovable animals until the time when they ruin your sofa and your carpet, no thanks to their scratching talent. How does one get rid of this irritating hobby called cat scratching?

Well, there is no remedy for your cats scratching mannerisms. In fact, cat experts discourage human from interfering with their scratching because it is already second nature to cats.

Scratching is inherent in cats as they were made to scratch. The rear paws of a cat were made for scratching. As your cat grows, their claws also grow. Cats have to remove the sheath on their claws by scratching, so they can expose their new claws. Read more…

Creative Cat Toys You Can Find Around Your Home

We all know that buying toys from your local pet shop can be expensive and after you bring it home, your cat may either turn up its nose at your offering or will tear the toy to pieces in a couple of hours.  Why not save your money and entertain your cat with some of these suggestions of toys that can be made out of things you can find around your own home?

One of the things found around the home is string and I guarantee all cats love string. As it wiggles along the ground, moving fast and slow, it triggers your cat’s hunting mechanism and makes a great plaything.  A great idea is to tie a long piece of string to a stick so you can drag it along the ground and tease your pet while sitting comfortable in a chair.

Other than the sound of pet food, nothing perks my cat’s ears up like the sound of paper being rolled into a ball or even an open paper bag. A ball of paper about the size of a ping-pong ball is ideal for your cat to chase around the house. An open empty grocery bag on its side it something my cat loves.  As he looks into the bag, I gently scratch on back of the bag and he will pounce. They will absolute love it.  A similar thing to use for ball cat toys are rolled up small balls of foil. Read more…

Keeping Your Cat Happy With Cat Toys

Keeping your feline friend happy with cat toys is really an easy task for anyone.

The most important thing to remember with cats and their toys is to offer them a variety.

Of course the cat is bound to have a favourite toy, they all do, however you can keep them very happy by replacing those toys that are worn and old with new ones.

Many of the new toys are associated with catnip in some way. Over time the catnip will get old and essentially be less attractive to your cat, as far as actually playing with it goes.

Another toy they will simply love is scratching posts. There is a web site “superstore” for those individuals that reside in the UK that offers several different toys for keeping your cat happy. Simply do a search for superstores and pets in the UK and the results will include the web site. Read more…

Composing Those Shots of Your Cats

Everyone understands how much we love our pets and one of the first places we look when we go to someones home that has pets is on the walls for pictures. It’s hard to find a pet owner who doesn’t have pictures of their cat or dog somewhere in their home and to that end it’s a good idea to know a little something about taking pictures of our furry friends and the best ways to get great pictures.

One of the first things that you will need to do is to frame the shot so there are no distractions from the cat that’s to be the subject of the photograph. It won’t do to have a lovely Persian cat overshadowed by a large houseplant right beside it unless the plant is meant to be part of the photo as well. While it’s nice to have a backdrop, you don’t really want anything to take away from the subject of your picture. Read more…
