🌧️🌧️🌧️Outside it’s raining 🌧️🌧️🌧️

For most cats the best place to experience a rainy day is from a window while inside and warm. Cats have water-resistant topcoats that become waterlogged when soaked, making them less agile and prone to hypothermia.

They’re also – unsurprisingly – not big fans of loud thunder, which is likely to send them diving under the nearest bed. You may have noticed that even before a storm, the sudden drop in barometric pressure can cause them to behave erratically.

😺😺😺 Happy Meownday! 😺😺😺

Feeling a little sluggish this Monday morning? Take a cue from our feline friends!

Here's some Monday motivation, courtesy of cats:

😺Master the nap: Cats are experts at catching some shut-eye whenever they please. Maybe a midday power nap is just what you need to conquer the week.

😺Embrace playtime: A little burst of energy goes a long way. Channel your inner cat and chase away the Monday blues with some fun activity.

😺 Prioritise self-care: Cats are all about grooming themselves. Take some time for yourself today, whether it's a relaxing bath or a good book.

😺 Don't be afraid to strut your stuff: Cats have a natural confidence. Channel your inner feline and own the day!

Check your car before you travel!

Cats love to hide, and sometimes this can include underneath parked cars. On a cold or wet day, some cats have even been known to nestle themselves in a warm car engine in search of a cosy spot.

Before you take a trip, check your cat (or any cats in the neighbourhood) aren’t underneath your vehicle.

Give a little tap on the hood or slam your car door while taking a quick glance underneath.

After you’ve made plenty of noise, give any cats a bit of time to run away before your start your engine.

We need to talk about the litter tray… 🚽🚽🚽

It’s time to understand the reasons why your cat may be turning their paws in the opposite direction when it comes to their litter tray.

Firstly, we always recommend talking with your vet to rule out any health concerns.

Next, we need to determine what’s wrong with their litter tray. Cats are very clean animals and feel vulnerable when they toilet. So, if the litter tray doesn’t feel safe, clean, correctly sized or using their preferred litter, they will search out a new spot to do their business.

Find out how to create the perfect toilet for your cat:

Have you ever wondered if cats can see in the dark?

They can’t see in no light, but cats can see six to eight times better than we can in low light. This is because the African Wildcat, our cat's ancestors, are crepuscular, meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk.

🐈🐈🐈 Most ginger cats are male 🐈🐈🐈

Roughly two thirds of ginger cats are male, and a third are female. The ginger colour comes from a gene mutation on the X chromosome and because female cats have two X chromosomes it’s more unlikely that they would have the ginger gene mutation on both, although it’s not impossible. Male cats have one X and one Y chromosome (the Y chromosome doesn’t carry information about coat colour), so only need one gene mutation to become ginger.
