Purring and grooming go hand in hand for our feline friends! Did you know that cats licking themselves is a natural way for them to stay clean and hygienic?
Their rough tongue acts as a grooming tool, reducing their scent and helping them to avoid predators and hunt more effectively.
Keep an eye on your cat's grooming habits, as a decrease in licking could indicate the onset of an illness.
Have you ever wondered why cats always seem to land on their feet? It's all thanks to their amazing aerial righting reflex!
This unique combination of vestibular balance, flexibility, and body mechanics allows cats to always land safely, even after a fall.
But did you know, this reflex has roots in their wild predator days? With the occasional fall from a tree, cats developed this ability to always land on their paws.
Do you ever wonder why your furry friend seems to have a knack for knocking over objects and scratching up your furniture?
From practicing hunting skills to stretching their bodies and marking their territory, it's all in a day's work for these curious creatures.
Save your furniture and keep your cat happy by providing them with plenty of toys and a tall scratching post for a full-body stretch.
Have you ever wondered why your feline friend brings you their latest catch? It's actually a sign of affection!
Your kitty sees you as a member of their family and is proud to present their prey as a gift. Keep your furry hunter safe by using a bell on their collar to both them and to protect local wildlife.
And, as always, don't forget to protect them from parasites both inside and out with regular preventative medication. ❤️🐈

Spring is here and Monarchs are arising from their cocoons! It is helpful to plant milkweeds because that is the only plant on which the monarch will lay her eggs. Once they come out of their cocoons, they will always remember your location and they or their offspring will always return.
