All About Cats - By: rabuford

When I was growing up, I almost always had a cat. Back then, a cat was just a replaceable "thing" to most people, and if one got run over, killed by the neighbor's dog, poisoned, or just disappeared, there was always another cat to be found.
Fortunately, attitudes have changed over time. These days many people recognize that animals should not be treated as a disposable possession.Certainly, I've gotten wiser as I've gotten older, and my cats have benefited from that.So I decided to take all the tips, tricks, and advice I learned and "compress" it into a sanity saving resource for anyone battling bad cat behavior.

Unfortunately, one of the side effects of people bringing cats indoors has been a trend toward having them declawed for their owner's personal comfort.Declawing a cat is not a good or safe or reasonable thing to do!Look down at your hands and imagine having your fingertips, up to the first knuckle, being cut off. THAT is what happens when a cat is declawed!Please know this: With a little work, you CAN train your cat to use a scratching post and preserve that beautiful sofa and lace curtains.

Cats are clean animals. They prefer to "do their business" in sand or dirt . . . just about any substance they can paw at and cover their wastes up with. So don't worry. You're dealing with an animal that "wants" to use some device.This may sound a bit strange to you, but cats like to use the litter box in private. Yes, if they were people, they would be the type that would not only close the bathroom door completely, they would probably lock the door as well

Cats meow; that's the predominate way how cats communicate ,and the type of meow they use gives you a good idea of what they're trying to communicate with you.A favorite method of communicating is the cat's purr, which is unique to the feline species. You may already know that a cat purrs when he's content.However, if you pay close attention to your cat, you'll notice that he also purrs when he's nervous, feeling a little uneasy or even if he's in great pain.

Does your cat "head-butt" you? That's the cat's standard affectionate greeting. Try "head-butting" him back. Seriously. Not very hard of course. You'll discover that he really enjoys this. You'll also soon discover that you've got a bond forming with this feline.

Cats are truly one of the most interesting, unique pets you can own. And if you care for your cat properly, chances are he or she will be with you for years and years to come.
