What affects us affects cats
Only domestic cats can do this: eat human food such as cooked chicken as a treat and then break off from eating it to catch a fly in mid-air and eat it immediately; then return to the cooked chicken, enjoying both equally. The domestic cat is directly between wild and fully domesticated and when …
My cat, Gabriel has reached a time in his life when he should have the opportunity to explore the outside under supervision and, to a certain extent, under controlled conditions.
