How to Care for a Senior Cat
Cats are considered seniors after age 10, showing fading senses, weaker appetite, and reduced mobility. Good care means easy access to litter boxes and water, a diet matched to calorie needs with added supplements, gentle play, and close daily monitoring for illness as immunity declines.
Why Won’t Your Cat Bury Its Poop?
A cat may not bury because it never learned, the litter or box is dirty, it is marking territory, the litter/box is wrong, or it has a health issue (arthritis, urinary disease). Clean the box, add boxes for multi-cat homes, and see a vet if the habit is sudden.
How to Feed an Exotic Shorthair Cat
Exotic Shorthairs need wide, shallow ceramic bowls and a small-nozzle bottle; small kibble fed on a schedule. Daily eye/nose care, brushing, ear checks, malocclusion watch, stool monitoring, diet variety, low-dust litter, and regular deworming and vaccines keep them healthy.
How to Fly With Your Cat: Documents and Step-by-Step Process
Common ways to ship a cat include road, train, and air. Air travel needs a vaccine record (with FVRCP and rabies, given at least 21 days before) and an animal quarantine certificate valid about 3–5 days. Book an oxygenated cabin, get a sturdy ventilated carrier, time the paperwork, arrive three hours early to check in at cargo, and on arrival keep the cat in the box until home in a quiet room.
What to Do If Your Cat Has a Trichomonas Infection
Trichomonas is a common feline flagellate parasite, spread by dirty food or water, soil, poor hygiene, and insects. Prevent with regular deworming, a clean environment, food hygiene, and vet care. If infected, use targeted antiparasitic medicine under veterinary guidance.
Devon Rex: Pros and Cons
The Devon Rex wins fans with its elf-like looks — big eyes, a small face, and a slender body — plus a soft, curly coat. It is gentle and friendly, gets on with people and other animals, sheds very little, is highly intelligent, and is robust and relatively low-maintenance. On the downside, it is pricey, energetic, sensitive to cold, and can carry inherited conditions such as heart and joint disease.
How do you care for an Exotic Shorthair (Garfield) cat?
Prepare dust-free litter (they are flat-faced and dust harms breathing), low-salt food to reduce tear staining, and good nutrition to keep them round and chubby-cheeked. Keep the home clean.
Things to note when keeping a British Blue (blue cat)
Prepare essentials: litter, box, food, teaser, bowls. Use stainless/ceramic/glass bowls — plastic traps grime and harms gut/skin. Feed on a fixed schedule, not too much at once, to avoid poor digestion. Some Blues are timid, so don't disturb a new arrival for two days; let it adjust, then play with a teaser to bond.
The Munchkin Cat: A Care Guide for the Short-Legged Breed
Munchkins are gentle, clingy, and adaptable, making them easy keepers — but their limited jumping means the litter box and bed must stay low. Short legs mean less daily activity, so unchecked feeding easily leads to obesity that strains the joints and raises arthritis and spinal risk; watch the diet. And because the 'chassis' sits low, the belly (and in long-haired ones the coat) picks up dirt, and the rear can smear — so help with cleaning.
