Feline Body Language: Signs of Comfort and Discomfort
A comfortable cat typically carries its body without bracing: muscles look loose, weight is evenly supported, and the spine rests in a natural curve rather than a rigid crouch. A cat lying on its side or with paws tucked beneath the body may be resting, provided the limbs and shoulders remain relaxed and the cat...
A Guide to Regular Fur Maintenance for Cats
For a short, close-lying coat, brush once or twice weekly with a soft-bristle brush or grooming mitt, moving from head toward tail in the direction the coat grows. Use light, short strokes over the back and sides; the belly, armpits, and groin are more sensitive, so approach them only when the cat is relaxed. A...
Turkish Angora
The Turkish Angora is associated with Ankara, historically called Angora, in central Turkey. Its longhaired coat likely developed among regional domestic cats through natural adaptation and inherited variation; claims that the breed descends from a single ancient cat population are not supported by firm genetic or documentary evidence. Longhaired cats from the region were known...

A cat may crouch with the body held low, flatten or rotate the ears, tuck the tail, dilate the pupils, freeze, or keep its weight shifted toward an escape route. Hiding, avoiding a particular room or person, scanning the environment, startle...

Playtime Etiquette: Teaching Your Cat to Play Gently
Play behavior is easiest to interpret as a sequence of signals rather than a single gesture. A cat preparing to chase may crouch, shift its weight onto the hind legs, fix its gaze on a moving target, and make small, deliberate movements of the head or tail. During healthy play, movements are usually loose and...

The FHTONGE self-adhesive felt scratcher offers a simple way to add a scratching surface where your cat already likes to scratch. Its 31.5-by-19.7-inch size gives a cat room to stretch, and its thin profile may suit homes where a freestanding...
The Dos and Don’ts of Cat Brushing
Match the tool to coat length, density, and skin sensitivity. A fine-toothed metal comb reaches through long fur to the undercoat and reveals small tangles near the skin; a wide-toothed comb is safer for initial detangling. For short, close-lying coats, a soft rubber curry brush or grooming mitt lifts loose hair without scraping the skin....
