Cat Play @ A Young Age

Playing with your cat at least 15 minutes a day is not only good for their health and a way of burning energy, but it's also good for their social skills.

Developing a cat's social skills is key at the beginning of their life. Kittens learn how to act around other cats and as well as humans when they have littermate to play with. Ever see two kittens get into a tumble and it looks and sounds like they are hurting each other? They are learning when a bite or a scratch is considered "too much" . When humans play rough with a kitten, we are essentially teaching them that it's okay to scratch and bite. They learn this as they grow up and can then develop a bad behavior in which people consider them to be a "cat from hell" (Jackson Galaxy plug).

When you consider adopting a kitten from a shelter or a rescue group, think about getting another kitten , preferably a littermate so they can keep each other company; keep that sibling bond; and develop proper social skills for when they grow up to be sweet kitties.

Kitten Rescue Cam

Need a way to relieve stress during the heck work day or wake up on the wrong side of the bed and need a pick me up?!

I highly recommend the Kitten Rescue Cam which showcases adoptable kittens from a rescue group out of Los Angeles, CA. 365, 24/7 - you can see kittens at play or catch a nap with their momma cat.

What a great way to promote a great cause! Bookmark it on your browser!

Why Does My Cat Pee Outside the Box?

I did my first video blog on the common issue of why cats pee outside of the litter box. I saw a lot of this with my childhood cats Pepper and Salt and also with my current cats, Sarni & Ginger. And of course, their reasons were all different. Age, medical issues, and stress to name just a few.

You tubing and creating videos is all new to me, so please excuse the amateur-like video! I hope this information helps you determine why your cat pees outside the box. Enjoy!
