Change. As a whole cats do not like it. However novel change can be fun! Big change like moving to a new home or adding a family member, scary! We normally have an area rug in this space. While it is being cleaned the hardwood floor and tissue paper was a lot of fun! Now, we’ve added the Ripple Rug which offers a fun area to play with interactive toys as well as a fun hiding place. When the rug comes back I’m sure that will be a fun, novel, welcome change as well. Move a cat condo to a new window, rearrange beds and cubbies, rotate toys, spruce up your home environment to create novelty and spark your cats interest!

When you positively condition “meds time” they come to you! Yes, it’s true. Willow isn’t even on meds right now but she is still ingrained in her routine and she waits for her special treat! Teach your cats to love medication time BEFORE they need pills. You will be glad you did!

Tomorrow, Wednesday May 5th, at noon I present my foraging talk for the @royalcaninus feline webinar series! This might be my favorite lecture. If you want to know how to motivate your cats to work for their food, increase the challenge if they are already foraging or just learn about foraging in general this is for you!

It's FREE! You can register here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_GjGlWa2nTJeQv_yhzMgjLQ

This month we feature Shadow. We adopted Shadow and his brother, Lynx when they were only one month old. Shadow weighed one pound and Lynx was only ¾ of a pound! It was my absolute dream to have “Siamese” cats and I quickly learned how easy it was to adopt cats with this “look” without having to buy and contribute to the homeless cat crisis.

Shadow was the love of my life (sorry, Jake😉 but he totally understands!) This cat was amazing; we were very bonded. I loved how he would sit on my left hip and suckle on my ear lobe. He was like an infant and would ask to be picked up. His favorite toy was one of those lightweight jingly balls. He would bat them around everywhere and would carry them and call. He would leave them in my purse and in my shoes, so cute!

It is difficult to talk about those who were so special to you, it can be hard to summarize their life in a just a few paragraphs. I used to joke that I couldn’t have loved him more if I gave birth to him myself, now I feel that way about Hitch, but I suppose it is ok to share that feeling with others.

Shadow left us at only 14 years, not even close to long enough. He and his brother both were diabetic, hyperthyroid and later developed liver disease, IBD and pancreatitis. They acquired these diseases in a different order but they had all the same genetic issues. The benefit of adopting related cats is they are instant friends for life and have a playmate in each other, the downside is the host of medical issues and the potential of losing them close together.

We used to call him Shadow Dancin’ after that 70’s song, which later morphed into “Deathwish Dancin’” because he did a lot of daredevil things and often injured himself! I love naughty, mischievous cats! All of our pets have a ridiculous amount of nicknames so far removed from their original name it only makes sense to us! We miss this boy so much, but it feels good to look back on who we have called family and all they have taught us. We are the lucky ones.

Training your cat can build their confidence, strengthen your bond, aid with a better understanding of what you are expecting of them and offer control in certain situations such as introducing a new family member or coming when called, a life saving command! It’s easier than you think! Give it a try and start training your cat to do some basics, you might be pleasantly surprised how much fun you both have!

#Verticalspace is a huge comfort to cats and is an imperative environmental need regardless of the size of your home. In small spaces vertical space can increase usable square footage for your cats, but it is still important even in a large home. Cats feel comfort up high, and solo resting spots that accommodate only one cat should be offered. Here, #Willow is enjoying the treehouse in the vaulted ceiling in our bedroom. You can view this project and more on the vertical space page on my website!

Here is my latest video depicting normal rough cat play. This is NOT aggression, these cats are best friends. Too often I hear of cat parents breaking up wrestling matches such as these and this is a very important part of their social relationship. Hit play and enjoy. Yes, it is rough, but it is normal and OK!
