Of course as a responsible and loving pet owner, you want to ensure that your cat is both happy and safe. In aiming for those goals, one of the most important decisions that you must make is whether your cat should be an outdoor cat or not.

Many people feel that the only truly happy cat is an outdoor cat.

When we see a cat chasing a squirrel or stalking prey, we see the cat performing its natural behaviors, and we assume that as a result it is a happy cat.

Most cats don’t like to wear collars. Cats always get annoyed when they have to wear collars and they will either stop moving or running. Most will try to sit or lie down. They get pretty bored. You can see this from the expression in their faces. There are many types of collars. Some collars are made out of fabric. Some are made out of plastic. Others of leather, metal and hybrid materials. We recommend that the collar should be light, slip proof, easily dried, none metallic, none slippery, and none allergic to the cat. Collars should not be made of thick materials.

Here are a few examples of cat body signals:

1. Face language

• ears up and pointed backwards: “I’m angry, confident and ready to fight” Read the rest of this entry »

Siamese cats are wonderful people-loving cats. They are stubborn and demanding and it’s difficult to deny them anything. Some Siamese see the world outside and won’t take no for answer. They slip out between our legs as we walk in with groceries. They howl at the window. They stand by the door, watching us, waiting for an opportunity.

It’s tough not to give in, but by not giving in, your cat will live a longer and better life. Cars are only one danger to outdoor cats. Other dangers include strangers, and dogs. Other people can steal a cat. Knowingly or unknowingly, a neighbor might leave out a poison. Dogs can frighten a cat and disorient it. Dogs can attack. Read the rest of this entry »
