I'd previously written an article on how to give cats liquid or solid medicine, but that was long before I had my own poor sick kitty who needed me to give him not just one type of medication, but two. The first type was easy-peasy. It came straight from the vet, and I would just crack it into halves, then drop the half he needed at each meal with his food and he'd gobble de goop it up. No ...

Can You Rename a Cat? Can Cats Learn a New Name?
by Elise Xavier | Updated: - Leave a Comment
Whether you're newly adopting a pet that's already got a name, or have decided the name you have for your cat just isn't doing the trick, when it comes down to whether or not you can rename a cat, my answer personally is a resounding - yes! In my opinion, it doesn't matter if the cat is young or old, has had days of being called a previous name or has been called and even known a name as theirs ...
My Cat Died Suddenly In Her Sleep: Why?
by Elise Xavier | Updated: - 1 Comment
If you've stumbled across this article because you've dreadfully found yourself in this situation yourself - first off let me express my sincere condolences. I had my first pet loss earlier this year and lost my precious little Athos. While he did not die suddenly in his sleep, and we did notice a few symptoms that had us worrying enough to take him to the vet - we did not realize the extent to ...
My Healthy Cat Overgrooms to the Point of Balding: Help!
by Elise Xavier | Updated: - 1 Comment
There are many medical reasons that can cause overgrooming in cats, but I've noticed that a lot of people who have this problem have already taken their cats to the vet, had them checked for everything under the sun, and yet they still overgroom to the point of balding. I've had one such cat in my life - Aramis, and while she most certainly goes further at times than even just overgrooming ...
Why I Recommend Measuring How Much Your Cat Eats Per Day
by Elise Xavier | Updated: - Leave a Comment
Now, this isn't a hard and fast rule, and you absolutely don't have to do it. You definitely don't need to if your cat is particularly good at regulating his or her food intake, and doesn't gain too much weight. And you might have trouble doing this if you have multiple cats that you feed. That being said, if it's at all possible, I would personally recommend measuring how much your cat eats ...
Why I’ve Been Hesitant to Try Cat Fountains So Far
by Elise Xavier | Updated: - 1 Comment
While I know that fountains for cats to drink from are incredibly useful, and so many people use them to help their cats drink more water, I've been hesitant to try them for years for a number of reasons. I don't know if these are common reasons why people avoid using them, or if those who do use them can shed light on whether my concerns are valid or if they're no problem at all in reality, ...
Help: My Sick Cat Won’t Leave My Lap & If Moved Starts Crying
by Elise Xavier | Updated: - Leave a Comment
My two boys are snuggle bugs, and when they are feeling unwell, there are times when they want to be alone. That being said, my late cat Athos (who I lost not too long ago) was incredibly snuggle and lap obsessed when he was feeling sick - which to be honest, I quite appreciated. That being said, there are times when you must get up, when you have to go do chores around the house, when you have ...
Is It Okay if My Cat Sleeps With Me?
by Elise Xavier | Updated: - 1 Comment
If you're a new cat owner and you're wondering whether it's okay to let your cat sleep with you in your bed at night - I'm going to cut to the chase and let you know that - 1. Yes, it is okay, and 2. I'm going to assume that the vast majority of (at least indoor) cat owners probably allow their cats to sleep with them at night. Not only that, but most pet parents of indoor cats I know probably ...
Please Share 3 Things You Love About Your Cat! I’ll Start Us Off…
by Elise Xavier | Updated: - Leave a Comment
In memory of Athos, I wanted to share three things I absolutely loved about this precious cat - and would love it if you did the same! Since I've gotten to the point where I can look back and really treasure the moments of happiness he brought into my life, and not just feel the pain of having lost him, I'd like to look at the silver lining - and really stew in the amazingness of the richness ...
