I know that I have said this more than once but this video is outstanding in the way that it debunks the notion that all domestic cats hate water. There is still a belief by some (promoted by internet articles) … Continue reading →

Are male, orange tabby cats the most friendly?

PoC avatarPosted on November 11, 2020 by Michael BroadNovember 11, 2020

Having read a lot about domestic cats, I sense that the general feeling is that male, orange tabby cats are, in general, friendlier than the average domestic cat. National Geographic reported that they are the most gregarious and that a … Continue reading →

Why do Oriental Shorthairs honk?

PoC avatarPosted on October 18, 2020 by Michael BroadOctober 18, 2020

Is it true that cats hate water?

PoC avatarPosted on September 29, 2020 by Michael BroadSeptember 29, 2020

Are long-haired cats more mild-mannered?

PoC avatarPosted on September 26, 2020 by Michael BroadSeptember 26, 2020

This is an interesting question because it suggests that there might be a link between the length of a domestic cat’s hair and their personality. To answer the question I think you have to do look at random bred cats … Continue reading →

Are Persian cats lazy?

PoC avatarPosted on August 28, 2020 by Michael BroadAugust 28, 2020

I think it is unfair to ask whether Persian cats are lazy! It’s a bit insulting. It is kinder to describe this popular cat breed as laid back or happy being decorative. You might describe them as passive and charming. … Continue reading →

Father’s influence on his kitten’s personality

PoC avatarPosted on July 24, 2020 by Michael BroadJuly 24, 2020

A kitten’s personality is dictated by inherited behaviours and environmental experiences; the nature and nurture argument, which has been around for donkey’s years. It is universally accepted that the important socialisation period of cats to people appears to occur between … Continue reading →
