Cat behaviour articles
August 22nd is Take Your Cat to the Veterinarian Day, and what better time to write an article on why all cats need to see a veterinarian, but also how to make it stress-free for cat, owner, and the veterinarian.

The adult personality of a kitten is mostly determined in the first sixteen weeks of a kitten’s life.
