Hey everyone. Sorry about the extended absence. And further sorry to say, it may be extended a bit more. Life has been a bit hectic since the holidays and I just don't quite have the time to make these posts happen...I've got changes at home to deal with, some health issues in the Clowder here, some work that I need to catch up on, and so on......

Cats and dogs, age-old enemies, but are they really? We love to make these claims or jokes…but the truth is, they can get along just fine…with a little work.

Redirected aggression...we've mentioned it a lot in this blog so far, but what exactly is it? I've seen it referred to in a lot of ways on the internet, some correct, some technically fitting in terms of semantics but not by categorization (I mean, semantically, your cat is redirecting onto you if they're simply in pain and taking it out on you, but, that's…...

Today we discuss the wild history of the cat, as well as gain an understanding of the domestic cat's evolution and origin. Sound like fun? Grab a snack, and let's go!

Today, we learn a little behavior science. Why doesn't punishment work? Why do other methods work better? Why don't people understand what's what when it comes to training...and what SHOULD you do? Grab a coffee or a snack, and let's chat about it!

Changing Behavior: Why Punishment Does Not Work The spray bottle, the shout, shock mats and collars, tins of pennies, smacks to the nose or rubbing noses in urine (Why???)…so many means of punishment, and they tend to be used more often th…

We have arrived! Behavior and body language...a big topic, and one very important to cover. Being able to read your cat is an important skill, and I'm surprised by just how often I notice people aren't aware of what even simple cues are saying! Today, we're going to try putting an end to that. Today you'll learn to speak (Or, I suppose, read) cat....
