Do cats have a sense of humour?

PoC avatarPosted on January 3, 2021 by Michael BroadJanuary 4, 2021

My opinion is that domestic cats do not have a sense of humour. I explain why in this article. Firstly let’s define “sense of humour”. It is a “person’s ability to perceive humour or appreciate a joke.” Note that the … Continue reading →

Cat scratches litter box walls and digs a lot

PoC avatarPosted on December 30, 2020 by Michael BroadDecember 30, 2020

A query about a domestic cat scratching her litter box walls may also be part of a general enquiry about why their cat is digging in their litter substrate too much. It looks like slightly manic and abnormal behaviour and … Continue reading →

How do I make my cat stand up to bullying by other cats?

PoC avatarPosted on December 14, 2020 by Michael BroadDecember 14, 2020

10 thoughts on how to make your cat less timid

PoC avatarPosted on December 1, 2020 by Michael BroadDecember 2, 2020

I’m going to rely on Chapter 19 of Jackson Galaxy’s book Total Cat Mojo to answer the question in the title. Jackson calls timid cats “Wallflowers”. They are wallflowers because of their genetics, perhaps a lack of early years socialisation, … Continue reading →

3 reasons why you might lose your cat to your neighbour

PoC avatarPosted on December 1, 2020 by Michael BroadDecember 1, 2020

We know that we don’t truly own our domestic cat companions. We might think that we possess them but we don’t even do that if they are allowed outside. This is the correct state of affairs as cats are sentient … 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 →

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
