[purr-facts]

The ancestor of all domestic cats is the African Wild Cat which still exists today.

Is your cat sneezing up a storm lately? 😿 While an occasional sneeze is normal, frequent sneezing might signal something else. Cats can sneeze due to dust, allergies, or irritants like strong smells or cleaning products. It might also indicate a respiratory infection, especially if sneezing comes with watery eyes, nasal discharge, or a lack of appetite. Other culprits include dental issues or foreign objects stuck in the nose. To keep your furry friend happy and healthy 🐾, check for signs like lethargy or unusual behavior and consult your vet if the sneezing persists.

Vitiligo vs Fever Coat vs Smoke Color

Some may confuse these three things because of their similar appearances.

This is vitiligo ↑↑↑

They are not born with this condition (if they are, it may be a case of chimerism), it shows up as they age. The white/unpigmented spots will grow and develop all over. Don't worry, it isn't harmful. It's just like human vitiligo!

This is fever coat ↑↑↑

It's a rare condition in which the mama cat undergoes severe stress or an illness that causes a spike in body temperature during pregnancy. Prior to birth, the pigmentation of a kitten's coat is very sensitive to heat. When the kittens are born, you will notice white/frosted tips of fur along the body. Fortunately, this has no negative effect on them. Their original coat color is still written in their DNA and may take from 4 months up to a year to present itself.

This is a smoke pattern ↑↑↑

These cats have black fur with white roots. They are also born this way and keep this marvelous color. For longhair smokes, their mane and any other section where the fur is longer will look white.

I know this a weird question, but how will you go about they/them + neopronouns in your story when it comes to writing? I've written them into my stories before but I've had people say its confusing to read and makes the text make no sense.

Not a weird question at all!! I’m actually flattered that people ask questions to this degree for me to answer; it makes me feel like a Real Writer, offerin’ advice, as silly as it is ^^’

So when it comes to neopronouns, I personally don’t really understand them, but I think they’re important and I want to include them and provide ample representation for them! Many of my characters have multiple sets of pronouns (for example, Raven using he/they), and I completely understand that sometimes it can get confusing, but that’s just writing. Writing gets confusing! It can get cluttered! And that’s okay!

I know that a lot of people don’t like using “descriptor phrases” (like: “the blonde man”, “the green-eyed woman”, etc) when it comes to differentiating characters, but I personally really like it so I use it a lot lol, especially where cats are involved. Saying things like “the sleek black cat”, “the dual-eyed tom”, “the towering, powerful molly” is not only fun to write, but it helps to propel the story along in a natural sense and negates the need for personal pronouns at all. I also think people don’t like using said descriptor phrases because they feel flat and can easily get overused, so I try to give mine a little bit of flare and make em’ funky lol.

My advice ultimately boils down to: don’t rely on pronouns quite so much. Let your writing flow! But most importantly: don’t worry about it too much!! Obviously take the criticism you’re given, but don’t fuss over it too hard.

Cats that live together sometimes rub each others heads to show that they have no intention of fighting. Young cats do this more often, especially when they are excited.

decided to finally go through with my dream of owning a full cats cosplay (if you saw my old cats cosplays on here i’m really sorry) but i don’t know how to make any of that shit myself and i’m scared i’d buy the materials and then do it wrong and waste my money. i’d get the wig commissioned when i have money but i really want to make the rest myself because of the costs involved but i’m SCARED

The surprising science behind happy cats

Food, shelter, security, space. That’s all a cat needs, right? To merely exist, sure, but to be happy? That’s going to take a lot more.

Happy cats are generally healthier and longer lived. They also make for loyal, calm companions with fewer behaviour issues. And, as it turns out, there’s hard science behind how to keep your kitty in a carefree state of bliss.

Zazie Todd, Ph.D, social psychologist, animal behaviourist, dog trainer, writer of popular blog Companion Animal Psychology and author of the award-winning Wag: The Science of Making Your Dog Happy, has written a new book, Purr: The Science of Making Your Cat Happy. As with her first book, Todd parses that science into applicable sections covering how to choose, train, play with, care for and keep your four-legged friend peacefully purring.
