How to Hold a Cat So It Feels Comfortable
Holding your beloved cat is joyful, but if held wrong it struggles from unease and may even bite. How to hold it so it feels safe, not scared?

My cat has been home for two days and keeps lying with its legs tucked into its belly – is it uncomfortable or is this normal?

What Foods Do Cats Prefer to Eat?
Cats lack the sweet-taste gene and rely on smell via the vomeronasal organ, so they judge food by aroma and umami, not sweetness. They detect at least six amino acids and prefer high-protein, fish-flavored, moist foods at room temperature—and they grow bored with the same diet unless raised on it from kittenhood. Vary textures and nutrients, but don't overindulge favorites or the cat will become a picky eater.
