This picture of a cat in what appears to be a defensively aggressive posture has been called the ‘Kung Fu Cat‘. It’s meant to be an amusing label. I know I am a grumpy old complaining man but I don’t find it amusing. What I see is a frightened cat taking up an very unusual …
This is funny, cute kitten video but some commenters on Facebook say that it is cat abuse and teasing which will make the kitten aggressive.

In countries where there is rabies, unless you are engaged in TNR work and know the cats and are an experienced feral cat handler, don’t pet stray or feral cats because they are unsocialised. They might become anxious when petted no matter how fond of them you are. No matter how sensitive you are towards …

The home is in Victoria, Canada. It is believed she was instinctively protecting her human companion, Del Thompson. Her name is “Baby”. At …
This is an irrefutable example of a domestic cat protecting a baby from a man (the father) who pretends that he is hurting his baby. It is a rather bizarre video really because I disagree with the behavior of the man. There is something distasteful about it. However, the behavior of the cat is first …

This with the latest cat news story in the UK. The title to the post could equally have been, “how to remove a stray cat from your home”. I say that because the homeowners lacked the skills and knowledge to deal with this cat properly and I regret to say that their behaviour caused problems …

When a cat is aggressive towards her owner/caretaker it will almost certainly not be what I would call true aggression towards the person. The cat is not being deliberately aggressive towards her owner in the same way a wild cat would be aggressive towards its prey. When we think of cat aggression we can tend …

A cat owner in Oregon, USA says that his Himalayan cat has a history of violence. I have a sneaking suspicion that it is not the cat that is violent or out-of-control as described, but that the cat lives in a home that is unsuitable for a domestic cat. In short, the out of control …
