How to Break Up a Cat Fight (or play fight). Cats know how to do things best.
Cats: How to Do It! This is a series of links to all the permutations and possibilities in relation to cats on the How To theme. This is a growing page. When you visit it there may be only a few links. The target is lots. They are coming, over time. Update: December 2021. I failed to update the page. I decided at the time (and this is about 12 years ago) to stop adding to the page. The page was built on the basis that there is a keyword which is the title. In other words, people were looking for information about how cats did things or how cat owners could do things to stop their cat behaving in a certain way. I thought it might be a good idea to do a series of articles on that theme. Clearly, I changed my mind. The page has been republished in December 2021 as I think it is useful still. It has been refreshed and updated slightly.
