What would your cats do if they saw their own reflection in a mirror? Would they be indifferent, excited or intimidated?
Our favorite YouTube tuxedo cat, Conan, does not seem to be so fond of the kitty he sees from the other side of the mirror. Play the video below and you’ll see what I mean:

Cats love to squish themselves into tight spaces, partly due to curiosity and partly they enjoy finding new hiding spots.
It is no surprise to see cats settling themselves in a trash can like the way Maru, the cat does in the video below.
My cats like to fit themselves in small baskets or boxes. We brought home a goodie basket one time that was half the size of our cats. As soon as we put it down on the carpet, one of our cats walked into the basket, sniffing the edges and then comfortably packed himself in.
Have you seen your kitties squeeze themselves in tight places?

This kitty thinks he is going out on a hunt, walking in stealth mode, approaching his target slowly but steadily, but only to find out the target isn’t as easy to get as he’d imagined.
This is such a cute and funny video. Enjoy!

Automatic cat feeders are designed to make feeding less of a chore. They come in different sizes, styles and with various features. Cat feeders can be used for a single cat or multiple cats. If your purpose of having a cat feeder is to free feed your cat, any style of feeders will do. However, if you want to regulate your cat’s diet, you can get one that allows you to set the amount dispensed and time of feedings.
The disadvantage of cat feeders is that they can only contain dry food since wet food is a lot more perishable and cannot be left out in room temperature for long.
Some people may consider an automatic cat feeder for their cats if they will be away for a long period of time. Cats are very smart animals. Never underestimate their ability to get what they want. You maybe surprised to know that cats can easily learn to sneak food out of anything once they know where the food is located and how it gets out.
I would not replace a human pet sitter with an automatic cat feeder for that reason and also having a person play with the cat everyday will greatly help relieve some of the stress induced by your absence.
It may take sometime for your cat to get used to a cat feeding machine and understand what it is for. The video below will give you a very good idea of how cats may react to an automatic cat feeder for the very first time.

Though I am skeptical about domesticating wild cats, it does amaze me how much affection a big cat such as this cougar can display to her owner. Nonetheless, it takes years of experience, training and understanding for these cats and big cat owners to reach such degree of trust and relationship. Big cats have very different personalities and dispositions from their cousin domestic cats. They are not suitable pets for most people.
As you can see from the videos below, cougars and domestic cats exhibit many similar characteristics such as purring or even kneading and suckling for those that are taken away from their mother too early after birth.
