PoC avatarPosted on December 29, 2020 by Michael BroadDecember 29, 2020

It’s an interesting question. When a domestic cat hisses it is a signal to the recipient that they are dangerous, as a snake is dangerous. It is a evolutionary behavioral trait learned by the cat for self-protection. A cat hisses … Continue reading →

Should we play with our cats like kittens do?

PoC avatarPosted on August 31, 2020 by Michael BroadAugust 31, 2020

It occurred to me that when kittens play they discover the limits of their aggression towards other kittens. They can play quite roughly and if a kitten is bitten too hard she complains with a scream. The kitten who did … Continue reading →

Should I rub my cat’s nose in his pee?

PoC avatarPosted on July 18, 2020 by Michael BroadJuly 18, 2020

You should not rob your cat’s nose in his pee no matter what he has done to urinate inappropriately. They won’t have a clue what is going on except that it is a bad and frightening experience. The same applies … Continue reading →

Do cats understand “No”?

PoC avatarPosted on June 27, 2020 by Michael BroadJune 27, 2020

I hit my cat very hard a couple times for biting my new kitten very badly. Now he walks away when I touch him. What should I do?

PoC avatarPosted on May 5, 2020 by Michael BroadMay 5, 2020

The question comes from Quora. It is a disturbing but fiercely honest question as the person who asked it has admitted to the world their error (but they remained anonymous in terms of their name). And it is a grave … Continue reading →

Should I use a spray bottle on my cat?

PoC avatarPosted on March 20, 2020 by Michael BroadMarch 20, 2020
