Infographic on cat punishment versus divine intervention

PoC avatarPosted on January 9, 2023 by Michael BroadJanuary 9, 2023

I am not going to add many more words other than those in the infographic as I believe it explains the difference well. A problem is that people can understandably relate to their cat companion as a little human and … continue reading…

Anxious cat because of shouting

Someone asked: why does my cat sulk when I scold him?

PoC avatarPosted on June 27, 2021 by Michael BroadJune 27, 2021

I’d like to discuss the question, “Why does my cat sulk when I scold him?” I think that the question is full of misconceptions and is wrong in many ways. Firstly, in my experience cats don’t sulk. To sulk is … continue reading…

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

Cat punishment versus divine intervention

PoC avatarPosted on June 22, 2020 by Michael BroadJuly 5, 2021

Smacking a cat is clearly wrong

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…

Water squirted onto cat but he refuses to budge

PoC avatarPosted on December 24, 2018 by Michael BroadDecember 24, 2018
