As any Harry Potter fan will know, cats are a witch or wizard’s best friend. From Hermione’s faithful cat Crookshanks, to Professor McGonagall’s tabby Animagus, there are many felines roaming the halls of Hogwarts. So it’s high time that our feline friends had their own school of witchcraft and wizardry! It’s March, and that means acceptance letters for Mogwarts will be delivered by owl to kitties across the world very soon, and then each new pupil will be sorted into a house. So which house do you think the Sorting Cat will pick for your pet? Are they a friendly [...]

With their purrs, their head butts, their slow blinks, most people with pets say their cats definitely love them. But do they really? There’s been a lot of research on that very question. One recent study has proven that cats form emotional bonds with their owners just as dogs do. Most cats and kittens showed a ‘secure attachment’ with humans and were just as interested in their guardians as their surroundings. But nothing proves that cats and humans love each other better than a story from real life. Like this one about a cat named Trixie, who lived back in [...]

Cats are known for being loners, but are they really the aloof creatures they’re sometimes made out to be? Many cats form close bonds with their human.

We hope you enjoy this exclusive interview with author Cynthia O’Brien, who recently spoke to us about her children’s book, Noname the Feral Cat. (Noname is pronounced “Noh-naa-mee”.) We love this book and it’s so inspiring. Is it based on a true story? Yes, it is. My soul mate cat died suddenly in 2016 and I had a very hard time finding a reason to wake up in the morning. I felt guilt about how he died and was in tremendous pain. My cat was like a son to me since I do not have children. I had five years [...]

From feral to fabulous! This adorable kitty managed to find his way into the kitchen of a Los Angeles restaurant about 2 months ago. After the restaurant’s owner saw him cowering in terror behind a refrigerator, she started leaving out food, water and a litterbox for him. For three weeks, no one could catch so much as a glimpse of the fugitive feline, but the food was gone each day and he used the litter box. What to do?
