This is espeically true of outdoor cats. If your cat spends that majority of his or her time indorrs, then there is little to worry about.

    Months ago, we reported the story of Sampson the cat from Scotland, who was found 500 miles south of his home. At the time, this was one of the most incredible feats of cat-travel wed ever heard of, but today we heard about something even more astonishing.

    Ravila Hairova and husband Lev Kondratyev left their cat, Karim, with neighbours when they decided to move 2,000 miles from Gulistan, Uzbekistan to Liska, Russia in 2008. Two days later, Karim disappeared; we never heard another word about...

    In my experience, cat owners are serial Tweeters often dont go together. It seems to me that people who consider their every mundane thought interesting enough to post on the internet just arent the kind of people who take to looking after and caring for a cat. Sony, however, think differently. Sony seem to believe that cats and Twitter got together so well that their Computer Science Laboratories have actually invented a life-logging tool designed for cats

    Thats correct; a collar is fitted...

    In todays society of designer pets, chickpea-based diets and rights for inanimate objects, it should come as no surprise to readers when I write than many pet owners are moving their pets onto vegetarian diets.

    Cats are carnivores. From their bones, teeth and claws to their senses, stomach and bowels, cats are designed to hunt, kill,...

    When it comes to successfully playing with your cat, an element of routine can help. Remember a large part of playing relies of stimulating the hunting instinct in your cat, so try playing at times when your pet would be out hunting mornings and evenings are the obvious choices. Since most of us have more free time before and after work, this works out well for pet and owner.

    So set aside two regular times a day to play with your cat, for around a total of half an hour. That said, dont feel...

    If you are really struggling to make your cat use the litter tray, here are some tips:

    Make sure you put the litter tray somewhere where your cat will feel safe and unexposed. Nobody wants to be watched while they go, its only natural! Try not to put the litter tray somewhere where its too enclosed or cramped. Dont put the litter tray near your cats food bowl, or even in the room where your cat eats. Experiment by playing multiple litter trays all around the house and keeping watch to see...
