Yes, as long as you match their current physical limits. My 14-year-old Persian, Jasper, will still rouse himself for a crinkly ball I roll an inch or two from his nose-he’ll bat it once, maybe twice,…

In short, yes-but the "audience" part is a bit off. A Devon Rex isn’t a show-off; it’s a people-cat that craves interaction like a dog. Persians are bred for stillness, not tricks-they’ll sit on your …

Lap. Every single time. I’ve had my Himalayan, Gizmo, for five years, and he’ll only hit a shelf if I’m standing up or cooking. The moment I sit, he’s there-plopping down like a furry sack of flour, p…

Don't bother with bath training. That sink pawing and faucet staring is all about curiosity and play, not a desire to be submerged. Maine Coons are drawn to moving water because their wild ancestors f…

Yeah, the Wegie would take that bet every time. I’ve watched mine hop a narrow shelf like it’s a branch, using those springy hind legs to launch and land dead center. A Maine Coon’s got that solid, lu…

Tail base is where I see it happen first on my own LaPerm. The constant motion from the tail swishing and the pressure from sitting compresses those springy curls into tight knots faster than anywhere…

Gentle children and quiet nooks are the perfect combination. My own Russian Blue, Luna, actually sought out my nephew for naps once she knew his voice meant soft pats, not grabs. The hiding spots let …

Not a chance, and I've tested this extensively with my boy Jasper. He waits until I'm elbow-deep in flour or holding a hot pan, then unleashes his most urgent meow as if the kitchen is on fire. The co…

I've found Korats to be masters of tonal persuasion. They'll start with a feather-light chirp, but if that doesn't work, they escalate to a short, sharp meow that brooks no argument. Mine once gave me…
