Can Cats Eat Apples? Are Apples Bad for Cats?
It can be extremely tempting to give your cat a bit of whatever you're eating, especially if they are sniffing at you or begging.

Not only that, Kalista will follow you all over the … [Read more...] about My Cat Only Wants to Eat near or Next to Me While I Watch… Is Something Wrong?
My Cats Have Started Fighting over the Cat Tree (Video)
As you may already know, we bought an AmazonBasics Cat Tree shortly after we moved to our new apartment and at first, we thought one would be enough, but it doesn't seem so. Originally it seemed like Kalista was going to be the primary user of the cat tree since she would spend the majority of her day sleeping at the top, but after a few weeks, it seemed like Beau … [Read more...] about My Cats Have Started Fighting over the Cat Tree (Video)

Beau & Walker Won’t Stop Meowing (Cute Cat Video)
Hey Pet Parents & Pet Lovers, I've been trying to get all of my cat videos online to make sure that they are a bit more permanent and easier for me to share with friends and family.

So, as … [Read more...] about Beau & Walker Won’t Stop Meowing (Cute Cat Video)

Why Do Cats Not like Water? Do All Cats Hate Water or Do Some Cats Love It?
I've personally never met a cat who loves water, although I will admit I've seen plenty of those adorable videos of cats drinking from the tap or enjoying their time splashing around in the tub. While I think those videos are adorable, it seems like neither of my cats will ever get that comfortable. Beau, our oldest, is absolutely terrified of water. If you turn on the tap … [Read more...] about Why Do Cats Not like Water? Do All Cats Hate Water or Do Some Cats Love It?
