Cats react very differently to catnip. One of our cats acted plain drunk, and could not walk straight, before he laid down for a long nap. Another just becomes very cuddly and cozy and purrs like a well oiled kitten-machinery. It is definitely a must...

Sigh. One of the worst things with animals is all their ugly stuff around your house. If you have an indoor cat, a cat tree is a godsend. If they can go in and put as they please, this is not as important, but they would still love it. They like to ...

Odor control and scoopability are key words in finding the best cat litters. This one is great for both. I prefer unscented, because the scented ones makes me nauseous.

Cat's can be picky eaters, but also picky drinkers. Some just won't drink more than a few sips if they are not pleased with the supply. First off, they do not like small bowls. Ours has a giant salad bowl that is cleaned every day. Yet, they still pr...
