Cats are aloof, self-centred and treacherous. Discuss.

PoC avatarPosted on February 27, 2021 by Michael BroadFebruary 28, 2021

The basic conclusion, fair or otherwise, of a recent study is that unlike dogs cats will not side with their owners against the “enemy”. Dogs shun people who behave negatively towards their owner whereas cats don’t. Perhaps the more scientific … Continue reading →

PoC avatarPosted on June 23, 2020 by Michael BroadJune 23, 2020

There are rewards on the ground and in heaven in adopting a timid cat. Timid cats are likely to be left on the shelf at the shelter. They are reluctant to sell themselves to customers. Does this mean that they … Continue reading →
