Cats can sometimes seem like aliens from another planet! For those of us who share our homes with these strange creatures, it can seem impossible to understand them. They do however have some common, universal behaviours that can be decoded and I am here to help you decipher them!
Some of these signs include flicking of the tail, skin twitching, tongue flicking, and ear flattening. If she didn’t want to be petted anymore and just ran away, that would be a very clear sign that she was unhappy, but cats are usually much more cryptic. However, if she stuck around then that might mean she still wants contact, just in a different way. Many cats have “no-touch” zones on their bodies and will react strongly if these are trespassed upon. For example, my cat loves to be scratched around his face and head, but hates to have his belly touched (this is a common “no-touch” area for cats). When cats groom each other, they tend to focus on the head and neck, so it makes sense these areas are where petting is more acceptable. To better understand, or decode, your cat, I think we need to understand their basic needs. A primary need for cats is the need to hunt. You can help reduce stress in your cat’s life by instituting daily play sessions that mimic hunting.
There are many cat toys available to help with simulated hunting. I like the No Bowl feeding system, but there are many options out there. If your cat doesn’t play easily, don’t give up! Continue to try different toys, you can even get some great ideas for DIY cat toys on websites like Pinterest.
While cats may not be as easy to read as our canine companions, they make a lovely addition to most households. Understanding what they are feeling and thinking can go a long way to making sure that everyone is getting the most out of the relationship.

Cats are very different from dogs. If you have owned both of them, then you will know what I am saying here. First of all, cats are far easier to deal with than dogs. A cat does not need as much attention as a dog does. Also, cats are far more intelligent that dogs, that is a known fact. I am not saying that cats are inherently better, but that is where the facts point to, that is what I am saying.

You also may notice your skin becoming thinner and a bit more sensitive. And if you are getting some pimples on your usually clear skin, you can blame that on menopause too! How about thinning eyebrows and hot flashes?? I could go on and on.

Drinking more water is something that I wanted to start doing (not just in the New Year) but I get busy throughout the day and forget. Now I know that I at least have that much in me.

If you have got not thought of giving your cat tunnels to play in, or if you are not assuming your kitty would enjoy. However, you must consider the best cat tunnels. In fact, several consultants suggest obtaining your feline friend a minimum of one tunnel that she will use to wrap, play, relax and nap whenever she desires.

Always supervise interactions between children and pets, especially younger children who may not fully understand how to interact with animals. Never leave children alone with a pet, even for a short period of time.

For those seeking more unconventional companionship, birds can make delightful pets. From colorful parrots that mimic human speech to the melodious songbirds that bring music to our homes, these feathered friends can offer a unique experience. Caring for birds requires attention to their specific needs, such as providing a suitable cage, a balanced diet, and ample mental stimulation.
