"As the air cools and leaves begin to change, you might notice another seasonal shift happening inside your home: clumps of cat hair gathering on the floor, couch, and just about everywhere else. Maybe you’ve looked at the clumps and wondered if your cat was going bald. The good news is: you’re not alone. Cats go through seasonal coat changes, and autumn is a particularly big one – especially for long-haired breeds. But why does this happen, and how can you manage it?"

"Cats have a long history of keeping humans and rodents guessing. Their graceful movements, sharp instincts and long, watchful gazes are the sources of countless myths, legends and superstitions across the globe. Some older traditions painted cats as omens of bad luck, but others celebrated them for hundreds of years – painting as symbols of good fortune, protection, and prosperity."

"Ever look over at your cat and notice they’re gazing intently at seemingly nothing? It could be an empty wall, an open doorway, or just the air in front of them – what on earth are they looking at? Are they seeing something we can’t? Are they bored?"

"Have you ever been awoken by a hungry cat walking up and down on your body, attacking your feet, or screaming their meows from down the hallway? Cats are like natural alarm clocks – always seemingly wanting to wake us up as soon as the sun is up."

"Bringing a shy or formerly feral cat into your home takes a lot of patience and love. While these cats may never become lap-loving social butterflies, with time and care, they can learn to trust, engage, and even flourish in a home environment."

"Cats have a reputation for being independent, aloof creatures – but those of us who’ve been lucky enough to have a cat in our lives know there’s a lot more to them than meets the eye. In fact, lots of cats express how they miss you in surprisingly subtle ways."
