What affects us affects cats
I love the photo although I doubt whether the owners of this cat and dog are as delighted. Or perhaps they are. It is completely benign (unharmful) despite the fact that it looks as if the cat is attacking the dog. No. These two must be good mates. The cat has no outlet for …
It seems that the domestication of dogs and cats has left them sexually frustrated. There is little outlet for their sexual urges. And for the male cat and dog these urges do exist even after neutering albeit in a reduced state. There is a similarity between dogs and cats here. Many people have experienced …
I’m referring to domestic, stray and feral cats. I am not referring to wild cats because there is quite a big difference. Without some sort of restraint on numbers (and there is always restraint on numbers) a cat population can increase “at a startling rate” according to Dr. Desmond Morris. And according to anybody …

Tomcats can’t, it seems, tell the difference between females who have been spayed and those that have not been spayed. This information comes from Dr. John Bradshaw in his book Cat Sense It is based upon his admittedly “casual observations”. He writes that “tomcats seem unable to distinguish between neutered females that form the …
If you are of a squeamish disposition you might want to stop reading 😉. I am just joking because I am sure by now that most people know why female cats scream at the end of mating. The title is a question that people ask but is slightly inaccurate because the female screams at …
Female cats can be choosy in selecting a male and thereby procreate. She uses her courtship to select her favoured male or males. Males can impress females through the pungency of their urine. They are advertising their fitness and ability to procreate and create fit families through the smell of their urine. It’s remarkable …
