Use a simple shoelace. Drag it across the floor in quick, jerky motions-no fancy rod or big plush toy needed. A small cat can chase and pounce on it without being overwhelmed by size, and the speed is…

Absolutely both, but it really depends on the individual cat and the moment. I've had Devon Rexes who will knead you with their little paws for a solid ten minutes, really getting into it-they’re ligh…

Watch how they react when you sit down at a desk. My Balinese, Miko, will immediately hop onto my shoulder the second I lean forward to type-he loves the elevated view and the warmth of my neck. But c…

You know, I think it's really the combination of the long legs and that deep chest cavity. A Savannah isn't just tall in height, it's built like a greyhound-the ribcage extends further down than in a …

I've actually seen it go both ways, so I'm not sure there's a universal rule. Some older Sphynx get so stiff in their joints that they prefer a heated bed over a lap, because they can adjust their pos…

Most American Shorthairs are what I'd call "sit-near-you" cats by default, but that doesn't rule out lap duty entirely. I've had one who would only perch on the back of the sofa behind my head for yea…

Place the water bowl near a low piece of furniture, like a short stool or a wide, stable step, so your Munchkin can brace a front paw on it while drinking. That little support keeps them from overreac…

I think it's partly a size and breathing thing. Maine Coons have that big, heavy chest and broad face, so making those long, drawn-out Siamese yowls would probably strain their respiratory system more…

I’ve tried a few puzzle feeders with my Exotic Shorthair, and he actually enjoys the simpler ones, like a flat mat with hidden pockets. His flat face means he can’t push deep into complex mazes, so I …

You pretty much need to wash your blankets weekly, sometimes more. Their skin oil builds up fast, like a human who never showers. I've had to buy extra throws just to rotate them through the laundry.
