The last week when I was taking pictures of Stevie, I thought I noticed his tongue sticking out. I remember thinking "that's strange, I don't think I've ever noticed Stevie stick his tongue out while we're playing or cuddling."

Why Does My Cat Always Sleep on My Head? What Does it Mean?

Why Does My Cat Rub Against Me? What Does My Cat Want?

Over the years my cats have developed forms of communication to help us understand what they want. For example, Beau will always place his right paw on you when he's hungry. Beau also has different types of meows to let us know exactly … [Read more...] about Why Does My Cat Rub Against Me? What Does My Cat Want?
My Cat Stinks! Why Your Cat Smells & What You Can Do to Fix It!
Cat owners frequently get a bad rap due to foul smells in their homes. Although this is often a false assumption of a standard cat home, there can be some truth to the matter. When I was still in the dating game I had someone turn down a date because "your house probably smells from the cats and I would never date anyone who has cats." While I'm certain that there were other … [Read more...] about My Cat Stinks! Why Your Cat Smells & What You Can Do to Fix It!
