"Cats are all different little people. While they may all be drawn to certain behaviours (like scratching and puking), their personalities are all quite distinct. Multi-cat households know this best. Seeing a group of cats coexist with a family of humans paints a pretty clear picture of just how different they all can be."

"Halloween is a great time for us humans, but for cats (and many other pets), it can be terrifying. The holiday is full of unfamiliar scents, sounds, shapes and creatures, all of which can catch even the most confident feline off guard."

"For the average kitty, Halloween can be a sensory overload. There are bright lights, new sounds and people coming to the house yelling, “Trick or treat!” or ringing the doorbell. In the face of these things, even the most confident cat can feel uneasy."

"Just because you’re at work doesn’t mean your cat won’t be looking for compelling entertainment all day. Bored cats without any outlets tend to cause the most ruckus while their owners are working, but with a little effort, you can make your space more engaging for your kitty. Doing so is a win for both you and your cat… and your home."

"Much like us, cats don’t just get older, they get wiser – and a little creaky (and cranky)! Also similarly, over time, they develop things like arthritis, other degenerative conditions, stiffness and pain, resulting in reduced mobility. While our kitties might specialize in hiding discomfort, there are some subtle signs we can use to determine if they need some help – especially as the weather cools off."

***New Gary and Morris Story***
"The sun was setting at The Hervey Foundation for Cats, and there was a gentle breeze blowing through the windows. Gary and Morris were lying on the deck, enjoying the cool, comfortable air.

Marjorie had spent the afternoon raking leaves and rounding up dead sticks around the property. She had a perfect pile of leaves stacked together when a big gust came and blew a bunch of them up into the air."

"If you live in a multi-person household, you’ve probably noticed that your cat seems to have a “favourite.” Regardless of how friendly the cat might appear to be, they usually have one person who has a special place in their heart. This might not be the case for every single cat, but lots of cat owners have noticed a pattern."

"Fall is a magical time of year. The cool, crisp air mixed with swirling, colourful leaves match perfectly with a cozy house and some warm candlelight. For those who share their living space with a feline, you know just how much trouble an open flame can be."

"Have you ever noticed your sleeping cat, beyond the snoring (which can sometimes rival a human), at a certain point, start to flick their paws, move their whiskers, or even make a small “mew”? All while they are supposedly asleep?"

"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?"
