Do cats react when you are pregnant?

PoC avatarPosted on January 16, 2021 by Michael BroadJanuary 16, 2021

The result of my research indicates to me that there is a tendency for domestic cats to change their behaviour and become more loving or clingy towards the woman who is their owner when that woman is pregnant. That’s the … Continue reading →

Why do cats like smelly stuff?

PoC avatarPosted on September 12, 2020 by Michael BroadSeptember 12, 2020

The answer to this question is actually straightforward but the first point to make is that domestic cats do not find all smelly stuff interesting (pretty obvious I know). So the question is actually poorly formulated. Indeed, cats recoil from … Continue reading →

Humans hate their body odour but cats love it

PoC avatarPosted on July 28, 2020 by Michael BroadJuly 28, 2020

A lot has been written about the domestic cat’s dependence on scent. They depend upon it in so many aspects of their lives. It is crucially important to them. They love the scent of their human guardians. The bedroom is … Continue reading →

Should a cat have a cold wet nose?

PoC avatarPosted on January 2, 2020 by Michael BroadJanuary 2, 2020

I guess we are discussing domestic cats. I ask because the title was created by Google based on real searches. In my opinion it is not a great idea to try and diagnose a domestic cat’s health from the warmth … Continue reading →

Domestic cat analyses her owner’s feet with their vomeronasal organ

PoC avatarPosted on October 31, 2019 by Michael BroadOctober 31, 2019

This is a classic example of a domestic cat using her vomeronasal organ (‘VNO’ also called the Jacobson’s organ) to smell and analyse the odours coming off her owner’s foot. She also licks the foot for taste. The face that … Continue reading →

Why do cats taste the air?

PoC avatarPosted on July 15, 2019 by Michael BroadJuly 15, 2019

Why do cats taste the air? This is a question asked on the Internet and it is slightly misleading because although it looks like cats sometimes taste the air they are actually smelling an odour in a very accurate way. … Continue reading →

Blind cat searching for food uses his nose like a blind person uses a white cane

PoC avatarPosted on February 21, 2019 by Michael BroadFebruary 21, 2019

This video is not hugely significant in the grand scheme of domestic cat life on the planet but it is interesting to see a blind domestic cat using his nose to track down food. He scans from left to right … Continue reading →

What do cat pheromones do?

PoC avatarPosted on February 17, 2019 by Michael BroadFebruary 17, 2019

We know about feline facial pheromones which are facial secretions. The chemical components of these pheromones have been analysed. They are almost entirely made up of ‘acids’ interestingly. There are five facial pheromones. Chemical components of the feline facial secretions: … Continue reading →

Cat Nose Leather

PoC avatarPosted on January 24, 2019 by Michael BroadJanuary 24, 2019

The phrase “nose leather” is used by cat breeders and the cat associations. It is not a phrase that you would normally bump into as a cat guardian because we would call the area that it describes as the tip … Continue reading →

Why do cats smell your breath?

PoC avatarPosted on September 17, 2018 by Michael BroadSeptember 17, 2018

People ask, “Why do cats smell your breath?”. The answer is a simple one. Cats smell your breath because they smell everything. If your breath has a particular scent because, for example, you’ve just eaten something, they will sniff the … Continue reading →
