Why do cats make biscuits?
It's an instinct from kittenhood. Kneading would have made their mother’s milk flow faster, so they associate the feeling with being loved and cared for.
Adult cats knead to mark territory with paw scent glands, for comfort, and to relax. It's a sign of a happy cat.

Nope, dogs don't care about your timeline. They want to explore! It’s what they’re built to do + fulfill their survival instinct to go out and forage for food. Why would you rush that?
He fits, he sits. It’s literally what they're programmed to do: sitting somewhere contained makes them feel safe.
Will Dash do it though?
Howling is an ancient trait that stems from wolves communicating with other pack members over long distances.
So, the next time your pet interrupts you with the symphony of their howling, remember – it's just them trying to communicate with their new pack: YOU.

Cats are a predatory species that love to play, especially with toys that move. This instinctive behavior can often not be suppressed and sometimes a game with a piece of ribbon or tinsel feels like prey, so they naturally want to catch and eat them.

Dogs have been using their noses to explore their surroundings and mark their territory for centuries, which is why they roll around, dig, and sniff snow. Snow also releases a scent that gives a history of other animals in the area and where prey may be lurking nearby, which intrigues curious noses.

“Bunny kicking” is a common self-defense and hunting maneuver cats instinctually use to protect their bellies or attack their prey with the powerful kicks of their hind legs.

Happy Holidays!
Pets love the cooler weather and outdoor adventures that Fall brings. Making it a great time to get outside, explore, and enjoy the fresh air (or stay cozy and nap on a sunny windowsill!). @ us in your Fall pet videos.
This instinctual behavior serves a dual purpose: rolling in something smelly is their clever strategy to mask their scent, making them stealthier hunters when pursuing their "prey." Plus, it leaves a friendly scent trail for any fellow travelers on their path.
Want to stop them in their tracks? Carry some CRAVE kibble in your pocket and command them to ‘leave it’ next time you see them drop their shoulders and attempt a roll.

Q. Why do cats sleep in such crazy poses?
A. It’s a predator/prey thing. They sleep in ways that make them feel safe, positions that are easy to attack/defend from, or just in ways that make them feel comfy. Cats are very flexible, so what might look weird to you, feels great to them. But in general…
Croissant: They are trying to keep warm OR protecting their head and tummy
On their side: They’re feeling relaxed
Belly up: They’re not afraid of attackers
On a perch: They’re keeping an eye out
In a weird position: Trying to confuse predators (can’t attack their head or tail if they can’t spot it!)
