The fastest land mammal, the cheetah is the only cat without retractable claws — the grip helps it accelerate faster than any sports car (0-100 km/hr in 3 seconds). The Incas designed the city of Cusco in the shape of a cougar. The snow leopard is the state animal of Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh. The lion is arguably the most widely recognised animal symbol in human culture — be it the Ashoka pillar in Sarnath, the main entrance to Buckingham Palace, or the 20th Century Fox and MGM logo. Jim Corbett’s “large-hearted gentleman with boundless courage”, the solitary and strongly territorial tiger is the largest of all wild cats and also the earliest Panthera member to exist. Here’s a list of members of the ‘cat’ genus Panthera, Puma, and Acinonyx.

Boredom can be bad for your cat's health — here's how you can ... (CBC.ca)

Playtime and food puzzles are just some of the ways to keep your cat entertained and engaged.

Going for a walk outside is a great way to allow your cat to explore and be stimulated, but the activity certainly isn't every cat's cup of tea. This is a fun and easy way to challenge your cat when they cannot hunt for their own food. Your cat will have the benefit of enjoying the outdoors from the safety of your home. Or that the little animated fish that swims across the iPad is not real? The vet advised that another sign to look out for is if your cat is trying to get your attention by any means necessary. Both experts agreed that if you notice any of these cues, it may be time to visit your vet in case your cat is at risk of something more severe. One of the easiest — and most fun — things an owner can do is dedicate some time to playing. "A catio, if it's safely built, is going to be good for almost any cat," Richter said, "because it just expands their world a little bit … But which ones are best equipped to rescue your kitty from the brink of boredom? These attention-seeking tactics may be signs of anxiety that your furry friend is trying to communicate to you, which could lead to more serious problems down the road. If these actions seem familiar to you and your feline friend, then pay attention. Between the hours of seven and eight in the morning, my cat wakes me up with head bonks, purrs and tummy cuddles.

[kitten levels tokyo](https://www.boredpanda.com/author/kittenlevelstokyo)10 hours ago To honor that name, you can call your pet Felix or Felicia – both sound very beautiful and look good on a cat. Observe their behavior for a couple of days. [Deborah Harris](https://www.boredpanda.com/author/deborahharris)11 hours ago First of all, congratulations! Does your kitty like to stick their tongue out a lot? Science can be a source of some unique cat names. Giving your new pet a name can be quite challenging at times. You are now in possession of a natural alarm clock that will demand food at the crack of dawn, an interior designer who’ll rearrange stuff on your desk according to the latest trends (and knock off everything that doesn’t fit in), and an affectionate bundle that will give you the warmest cuddles in the world. And if you are after some rare cat names, you can go deeper into mathematical terms (kitten siblings Sine and Cosine, anyone?), chemical elements (a golden kitten named Aurum will draw lots of attention), and so on. Sometimes it is enough to look at them and you already realize what name will suit them to a T, but sometimes you might have a bunch of nice names and still be unsure which one to select as your final choice. So you brought home a ball of purr.

“A cat who was not exposed to a lot of different people early in life may be more fearful of new people later in life, and need more time to adjust to changes.” “If your cat does not like being held, you should not keep trying to hold them,” Dr. Your cat’s body language will let you know which things make him uncomfortable before it becomes too scary. And how to turn things around with your cat “If a cat has a very scary or unpleasant experience (such as having their tail stepped on, or being frightened), they will remember that very well!” “Cats make associations based on positive and negative experiences they have with people, but that does not mean we should define their responses as resentful or …

A cat is a great option for any family but especially if you can’t always be home to let the pet out to potty. CATS NEED TIME TO ADJUST: The transition for the new cat should be as smooth as possible. Cats like to climb and get up high — perhaps a top shelf can be cleared for them to hang out on or a cat tree with several levels can be added. Adding a cat to the family can be a fun and entertaining experience for all. Our cat condos have multiple levels that offer lots of climbing and high places for cats to hide and lounge. Cats come in a variety of personalities: Some can be high maintenance in their demands of love and attention, while others are more aloof, play hard to get and make their humans work for their affection.

I look to the chair she used to sleep on or places she would hide around the house. And I was OK with that, because she deserved the same comfort she had given me for so long in our time together. I will forever be grateful I had time to say a proper goodbye — something that isn’t always the case. Unfortunately, the second vet came to a similar conclusion. Her eyes were sunken, but, looking into them, I could still see the sweet little girl that I’ve loved since the moment she entered my life. The vet suspected cancer but it was irreversible kidney failure that was causing her health to decline so rapidly.

Is Declawing a Cat Cruel? Here's What You Need to Know (Green Matters)

Is cat declawing cruel? Although it can be unpleasant to have a cat scratch you, it may be better than having their claws removed altogether.

Instead of completely declawing your kitty, you can also trim their claws. Many even tend to develop various neurological issues, as a result of the procedure. You can also get them a cat tree or a scratching post, so they can scratch all they want without it bothering you. If they continue to scratch your furniture, there are various types of repellants, that deters them from scratching in certain areas. Per PETA, it's a traumatic and invasive process that involves 10 amputations of the cat's nails and joints along their paws. But luckily, there are many healthier alternatives to declawing. So if your cat enjoys going outside, you're essentially forcing them out into the world totally and utterly defenseless. "AVMA discourages declawing as an elective procedure and supports non-surgical alternatives. Declawing is completely banned in England, Scotland, Wales, Italy, France, Germany, Austria, and other nations. won't perform the declawing procedure because of the pain and suffering it can cause. It's still legal in the U.S. Cats can be unpredictable, and let's face it, nobody enjoys getting scratched.

How to introduce a second cat into your home (TAG24.COM)

Are you thinking of getting a second cat? Worried about how your current feline friend might take it? TAG24's cat guide has the answers to your questions.

Whenever one of the four steps gets too hard, it is a good idea to return to the previous phase and continue to take things slowly. By taking it easy, while staying incredibly patient and cautious, you should be able to introduce a second cat into your household. Introducing a second cat to a household can be a difficult process, with many fights and squabbles along the way. If there's ever the risk of serious injury, then you should of course intervene, and in any case, the cats should only directly interact for a few hours a day at the start to reduce their stress. The two cats need to finally meet and be able to interact, so don't get too hands-on. Once your new cat has arrived and settled into the new environment, the exchange of smell can begin. You need to prepare well for the introduction of a second cat. It's possible that one cat will try to attack the other, so be present throughout the process. This will destroy the trust that the new cat has in you, and could even prove dangerous. A cat owner should not spend less time with one cat as a result of getting a second cat. Whether you add another cat to your household is, of course, a personal choice. But is that a good idea and how are you supposed to go about it?
