Cats are experts at hiding pain, which means many cat owners don’t realize their feline friend is suffering from serious dental problems—until it’s too late. In fact, studies suggest that up to 80% of cats over the age of four have some form of dental disease ( Harvey, 2010 ). This means dental health isn’t just an occasional concern—it’s a widespread, often overlooked issue affecting millions of cats worldwide. Pic: Bashar Kadi I learned this the hard way with one of my foster cats. She arrived in my care with a scruffy coat, an appetite that fluctuated wildly, and—what I later realized—severe dental disease. At first, I didn't spot the signs. Bad breath? I chalked it up to normal “cat breath.” A little bit of drooling? Maybe she was just relaxed. But when she started losing weight and hesitating before eating, I knew something was seriously wrong. At her check-in vets appointment, it was clear that she required multiple extractions. I was heartbroken—she had been silently su...

Cats may seem like masters of relaxation, but keeping an indoor cat happy and healthy takes more than just a cozy spot by the window. Boredom and inactivity can lead to weight gain, stress, and even behavioral issues. So, how can you make your home a feline-friendly playground? Here’s how to keep your indoor cat both entertained and thriving. 🐾 Create Vertical Spaces for Climbing and Perching Ever noticed how cats love to be up high? It’s not just a quirk—it’s instinct! Indoor cats need vertical spaces to explore, giving them a sense of control over their environment. Try these options: Cat trees or wall-mounted shelves Window perches for sunbathing and birdwatching Tall scratching posts that double as climbing stations 🎾 Interactive Playtime: Make it Fun and Engaging A few minutes of interactive play each day can make all the difference! Instead of leaving toys around (which your cat may ignore), get involved: Wand toys mimic the movement of prey—perfect for satisfyin...

Imagine this: A scared, bewildered cat sits in the corner of a cold shelter cage. The hum of fluorescent lights and the sound of barking dogs fill the air. Everything familiar is gone—the soft bed they might have known, the warm laps, the comforting smells of home. For so many cats without homes, this is their daily reality. Pic: ArtActiveArt, Pixabay Now, picture this same cat curling up on a plush blanket or batting a toy across the floor. The softness beneath them provides a sense of security, and the toy gives them a spark of curiosity and playfulness. A simple act of kindness—just one blanket or toy—can transform a shelter cage into a place that feels a little more like home. Why Comfort Matters for Shelter Cats Cats thrive on routine and familiarity. Being placed in a shelter, even the best-run ones, can be a traumatic experience. New smells, sounds, and sights can overwhelm them, leading to stress and anxiety. And when a cat is stressed, it affects not only their health ...
