Do feral cats sleep as much as domestic cats?

PoC avatarPosted on December 4, 2021 by Michael BroadDecember 4, 2021

I’m sure that you can answer the question without much thought. Common sense dictates that feral cats do not sleep as much as domestic cats. The reason: they have to survive on their wits. They have to be alert. They … continue reading…

How to tell if a cat is playing or angry

PoC avatarPosted on April 26, 2021 by Michael BroadApril 26, 2021

The question is really about overstimulating a cat when playing with him or her. Therefore the statement in the title is not entirely accurate because overstimulation during play does not necessarily mean that the cat is angry. It just means … continue reading…
