I absolutely love cats, and I always have. Despite the fact that I had a rather harrowing ordeal as a child with a cat involving me attempting to pet it and it, in turn, taking a chunk out of my hand, I was not deterred by these majestic beasts, and I imagine they will be … More Cats are smarter than you think
I came across an Instagram reel a little while ago that I continue to periodically think about. I wish I had saved it, but, alas, I did not, so my own explanation of the reel will have to suffice. **Update: A lovely follower of mine shared the video with me. You can view it here. … More As it turns out, cats are kinder than you think
I mentioned in yesterday’s post that the cat situation in my and Blaine’s home could be better as of late. We rescued a feral kitten, Timmy, and despite Timmy’s best efforts to befriend our other, older cat, Lionel, Lionel is not having any of it, and the two of them haven’t necessarily gotten off to … More Here’s how to introduce a kitten to an older cat (part two)
Anyone who identifies as a cat person has likely heard about the reputation orange cats have earned for themselves. They’re absolutely nuts in the best way possible, and while all cats are rather curious, interesting creatures, orange cats seemingly take these characteristics to an entirely new level, right out of the atmosphere itself. My family … More Orange cats: In a league of their own
Not too long after Blaine and I moved into our home, I noticed a sweet cat hanging around our property. I later figured out she is female, and I will get to that shortly, and despite my best efforts to be able to handle her, I came to the ultimate conclusion she is too feral … More Welcome home, Timmy
I’ve always held firm to the idea that if animals had the ability to speak, life itself would be a hell of a lot easier. Sure, animals communicate with us in their own way, but I’m talking literal syntax and semantics; can you imagine if animals could carry out an entire verbal conversation with us? … More Understanding animals
Cats get so much hate and I simply do not understand why. I think the dislike for cats stems from their unpredictable mood swings and random bouts of violence, but that’s what makes them so incredibly unique and absolutely hilarious. Cats are like dogs in the sense they have very different personalities from one another, … More Let’s talk about cats
I’m not a big fan of the notion that we as humans identify as either dog people or cat people. Why must we strictly be one or the other as opposed to a delightful combination of both, equal parts cat and dog people? I happen to love cats and dogs, therefore I refuse to identify … More Read this to learn more about your cat
Living on a farm, it’s safe to say my family and I have ample room for a few critters here and there. In total, in the context of pets, we have two goats, five cats (two indoor, three outdoor), and three dogs. I realize we aren’t exactly your average household with one or two pets, … More The benefits of owning pets
Cats really are some of my favourite animals. They’re highly unpredictable, entertaining, curious and (potentially) affectionate, and since we have six cats of our own (two inside, four outside), I’ve come to learn that cats are very complex creatures. A little while ago my mom brought home an informational paper from our local Ruffin’s Pet … More How well can you read your cat?
Pets are, in my opinion, one of the greatest familial additions you can have. If we’re being honest, sometimes pets are better than our actual human family members. Animals have the ability to love their owners unconditionally, and trust me when I saw there really is nothing that compares to experiencing this love. I question, … More Thinking about getting a pet? Consider adopting
So often I come across people that self-identify as either a cat person or a dog person. My question is, why can’t a person love both dogs and cats? I realize that many of us do, in fact, identify as someone who loves cats and dogs equally. I include myself in that identification. What intrigues … More Not a cat person? You’re missing out
There is a belief that someone is either a dog person or a cat person. Personally, I identify as both. I love cats and dogs equally, as different as they are, and with one pup and five cats on our family farm, it’s safe to say everyone in my family identifies as both a cat … More Do you know what your cat is really feeling?
If you’ve never heard of lungworms, don’t panic. I hadn’t either, at least not until reading a release from Cision, originally from the Canadian Animal Health Institute. Most pet owners have likely heard of worms in general before; heartworm, tapeworms, intestinal worms, etc. Lungworms, however, are a form of a new parasite that has developed … More What the heck are lungworms?
For one of my college courses, a group of fellow classmates and I have been asked to help out the Lincoln County Humane Society (LCHS) in regard to social media promotion for a class assignment. I wanted to dedicate a post to the society in hopes of providing some insight for any individual interested in … More The Lincoln County Humane Society
