Best Probiotic Supplements for Cats

This post contains affiliate links*

I consider probiotics one of the most important supplements for cats. There has been a fair amount of research on the human side on how critical a healthy gut is for a strong immune system, healthy body weight and composition, and even mental health. A healthy gut also minimizes the risk for numerous diseases, including diabetes and cancer. Probiotics are crucial to promoting good intestinal health, and while there are far fewer studies about the benefici...

Is Your Cat a Vertical Pee-er?

This post contains some affiliate links*

Dealing with a cat who pees outside the litter box is one of the most frustrating issues cat parents may be faced with. We’ve previously addressed the various reasons why cats eliminate outside the litter box, including litter box aversion, urine marking, hormonal problems, and medical issues, here. Today, I’d like to address a less common, but nonetheless frustrating version of litter box behavior: cats who pee standing up, or vertical pee-ers, as I...

I’m a big fan of James Bowen and Bob, and have been following the pair’s remarkable story for the past seven years. I interviewed James twice (read my interviews and here.) I’m looking forward to his newest book, , which comes out in October. And I was delighted when the Daily Mail broke the story of James’ engagement to a woman who is owned by a tortie!

The Cats Movie Trailer: Creepy or Intriguing?

I’ve been eager to see what the Cats movie, set for release on December 20, 2019, will be like ever since I first heard about it. Eager, and a bit apprehensive. I saw the play several times, and of course, I own the sound track as well. For me, it has stood the test of time. However, Broadway to big screen doesn’t always translate well.  And then, last week, the first trailer was released.

To say I was creeped out would be putting it mildly. And I wasn’t alone. The internet collectively los...
