Crazy for Catnip

by Leave a Comment

Have you ever wondered what is so special about catnip that makes cats go crazy? With over 250 species, this fragrant natural plant from the mint family contains an oil that releases pheromones which gives our kitties a sense of euphoria or extreme happiness. Also known as catmint or catswort, catnip is not only for domestic felines but big cats too. Note: when a cat eats this green stuff, it acts as a sedative. In order to see your cat in their euphoric state – they must smell it. However, only about 50% cats are actually affected by catnip. The others, well, they just don’t care. What does catnip do to your cats? Do you have any funny stories? Share with us in the comments below!

Chattering Explained

by Leave a Comment

Imagine this: Your cat is perched at the window sill, stiff postured and staring out the glass panes. Her jaw starts to open slightly and then begins to vibrate at a fast speed, letting out an interesting sound. Her tail begins to twitch excitedly. But don’t worry as this is completely normal for your furbaby. This fast and intense teeth chattering behavior can often be observed when your feline friend spots a bird or other animal through a window and might be a sign of frustration because they cannot get to their prey. Behaviorists also say that this behavior is a form of excitement or your kitty’s way of performing the act of killing while in the absence of performing the actual behavior. Read this article to learn another possible meaning behind the chattering behavior of cats.

This is a great video that digs deep into why humans are obsessed with cats and how felines have taken over the Internet, our homes, and our lives.

Are you a cat person? Did you grow up with cats? Has your best friend always been your cat? Well good news! You’re not alone. In fact, cats have been worshiped for eons dating back to the Egyptians. The vikings also took a liking to these feisty kittens often bringing them on their ships.

There are a lot of people in this world that have the same feelings about cats and now, more than ever, our interest in their lives has hit a high. It’s fascinating to see how cats can survive anywhere from the Arctic cold to the Hawaiian warmth. It’s also quite interesting, after watching this video, to learn that cats don’t meow in the wild. Being domesticated they have learned that if they “speak” they will get attention and treats.

I leave you with this question: Who really controls who – do you control the cat or does the cat control you?
