Cats On The Go -

I often skim through the Nextdoor app on my phone (it’s like Facebook but filled with people who live near you.) The most common post is people looking for their lost pets. It got me thinking about my cat, Styx, and whether I should buy a tracker for her. After some research, I found people …

Loose cat fur & dander have always been the bane of my existence. When my fiancée begged for us to get a cat, my eyes started to swell thinking about it (and not in the emotional sense). Luckily, although our cat Styx has medium-length hair, she isn’t a shedder. Both my eyes & sinuses are …

Blocking an animal’s line of sight has always been an effective way to calm them down. You see it in horses with blinders and falcons with eye masks. But, can the same be said for a cat in its carrier? Owners of nervous cats should cover their carriers. A blanket or towel that completely covers …

I often meet pet owners who have cats but never bothered to buy a half-decent carrier. When it’s time for a vet appointment, they scramble to find a substitute. This begs the question, is a carrier even necessary to visit the vet? Veterinarian offices typically require that you secure your cat in a carrier before …

Cats are strange creatures. One day you’re fighting tooth and nail to get your cat inside their carrier, and the next, you find them napping soundly inside it. But is it okay for your cat to sleep in there often? It is perfectly safe for a cat to sleep in their carrier temporarily. However, cats …

Every year, around 5000 pets drown in pool-related accidents. Pet life jackets are essential for cat owners who live near large bodies of water, own a pool, or like to go boating with their feline friends. They provide the peace of mind that your cat will be fine if they happen to fall into the …

Whether or not a cat can be loose in the car is a question you often hear from newer cat owners or ones who find themselves in a tight spot. Either their old carrier broke, they forgot it at home, or they haven’t bought one yet. I’ve gone through each of these scenarios, and the …

Bringing your cat to new places is a great way to not only satisfy their curious nature but also accustom them to more travel. It can be difficult to find places that cater to cats as much as they do to dogs and other pets. So that brings the question, what are some fun locations …

While it’s great to have a cat who tolerates or even enjoys long car rides, the need to stop and rest will come, and a simple pit-stop won’t always cover it. Luckily there are plenty of hotels along the way, but you have a cat with you and wonder how that might complicate things. So, …

Almost 25 million Americans took their recreational vehicles onto the roads last spring/summer season. Over half of those people (68%) bring along their pets, including cats. If you plan to take your cat along in your RV, you’ll need to plan ahead of time. To travel with your cat in an RV, you’ll need to …

Sometimes life can land you in strange situations. A relationship doesn’t work out, your new job requires you to travel between two far locations frequently, or you tend to visit a loved one from time to time. In my case, I often visit my mom and bring my cat Styx with me. It got me …
