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

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

Do cats understand “No”?

PoC avatarPosted on June 27, 2020 by Michael BroadApril 25, 2021

Domestic cats don’t understand “No”. However, they will understand that you are making a certain sound in a stern voice. You’re using a stern voice because you want your cat to stop doing something which displeases you. You may even … continue reading…

Cat punishment versus divine intervention

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

Smacking a cat is clearly wrong

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…

Man meows loudly at his sleeping cat to take revenge for being woken up

PoC avatarPosted on April 17, 2019 by Michael BroadApril 17, 2019
