Life is overwhelming, and I'm not sure how much I'll be able to post here, but the blog isn't going anywhere.
Cats and dogs, age-old enemies, but are they really? We love to make these claims or jokes…but the truth is, they can get along just fine…with a little work.
Redirected aggression…we’ve mentioned it a lot in this blog so far, but what exactly is it?
Many of us have been there, arms full of groceries, juggling things around to open the door, and suddenly, one of our cats decides it’s the perfect opportunity to make a break for it...
This was an interesting subject to research. I’ve written on this matter several times, but have now learned that I'd been duped by some very widely spread misinformation and have to adjust my perceptions.
The spray bottle, the shout, shock mats and collars, tins of pennies, smacks to the nose or rubbing noses in urine (Why???)…so many means of punishment, and they tend to be used more often than not...
We have arrived! Body language and communication…a big topic, and one very important to cover. Being able to read your cat is an important skill...
Scaredy cats, we’ve all met at least one, right? There are so many different types, so many different reasons for their fear – how do we help them? Today we’ll discuss just that, using a few demonstrative examples.
Oh, chonky cats. Cute, but sad. We can’t help but “Aww” when we see those chubby faces, but many of us are a bit nauseated and heartbroken behind those coos. The truth; chonky isn’t cute, it’s morbid.
This post is a compilation, a FAQ of sorts, covering questions and behaviors I am asked regularly about. Most of these aren’t problems, just normal things that us humans don’t quite “get.”
Litter box issues are the leading cause for surrenders to shelters, and with that, the most common behavioral problem. It's important we understand why they arise and how to prevent them, so let's talk about it!
Singleton Syndrome. Whether you’ve heard this term or not, you’ve likely met a cat or kitten with it! Perhaps you’ve heard the terms “Single kitten syndrome” or “Tarzan Syndrome” instead...
We're focusing on spay and neuter this week, which some of you may be scratching your heads over, but let me explain…I refuse to consult clients for behavioral problems in unaltered cats. Why? Let's talk about it.
Inappropriate scratching, oh boy. I get many calls about this one. There are many reasons why it happens and just as many ways to treat it.
Thanks for visiting! Welcome to Caught in the Clowder. I've wanted to create this blog for a while now, but never developed specific ideas. There are a lot of things I'd like to talk about, but I hope to maintain some structure...
