Cats make me really happy but they can also be very confusing. I was mesmerised by their furry little feet and healing purrs. I thought my research was enough but when I faced confusing behaviour, I felt lost. Preparation is the most crucial part. Just as a human baby has needs, a cat baby has needs too. It would be hard to keep your cat happy if you don’t know what they need. Cats subtly show their feelings so humans need to up their observation skills. Research shows that unless we learn how to read the ,facial expressions of a cat, we won't be able to understand them. So, this blog will hel ..read more

Recently adopted a cat or kitten? Congratulations! Your life is about to change for the better. Cats are majestic and have no trouble asking for what they need. However, our observation skills should be sharp enough so that we know exactly what they are asking for. Many times products in the pet market are designed more to attract the owner rather than the pet. So in this article, we will explore the science of shopping for your pet. There is an ocean of cat products out there but it’s NEVER about a brand or a single product. It is about what your cat needs and how that product can fulfil it ..read more

Did you know that playtime is not just a hobby? This universal behaviour is why they were domesticated! Cats take it a little more seriously even though they look quite goofy. They are absolute carnivores with instinctual hunting skills. The mother cat is a fantastic teacher who uses play to teach her kittens the skills they need to hunt. She teaches them to chase her tail and will bring back half-dead prey for them to kill. About 10,000 years ago, our ancestors thought cats were perfect hunters who didn't need any modification. This is why you can still see that the domestic cat (Felis catus ..read more

The technique I'm going to tell you about is so simple yet very effective. I'm sure that you are unknowingly using this method and you will learn to recognize it as you read on. We are going to be using the power of association. It is the most common type of learning where an organism starts to perceive contingency relations between events in its environment (apart from habituation). This means they start to see patterns in their environment which helps them predict what will happen next. For example; if every time a bell would ring, a big scary monster would pop out from behind a door. You w ..read more

All relationships need work. Whether you are in a relationship with your partner, your parent, a friend or a dog. There are going to be times when you don't agree. When your partner does not do what you want them to, the solution or advice that follows is different compared to your dog. No one tells you to roll a newspaper and give your partner a light wack on the nose. Yet somehow, when your 2-month-old puppy pees in the wrong place, it seems like such a good idea. As a loving pet owner, you don't want to punch your dog in the face or yell your head off (I hope). This means the option of a ..read more

Training a dog can seem like a daunting experience to a new trainer. How do you teach a dog to perform a task well? Quite often I hear questions like "How do I make him understand this" or "I want my dog to do this but he...".

However, since your dog is taking this journey with you, it is your responsibility to make it fun and positive. So, I'm glad you are doing your research. I hope you can learn from the mistakes of the trainers that came before you. So ..read more

To sign up click here: HERE Who are these classes for? Kitty Kindergarten is a course for cat owners/potential cat owners and their kittens who should ideally be under 4.5 months of age. Why is it important? Older cat owners wish they had this course when they had kittens... Studies show, that kittens who are handled daily for 5 minutes from birth to 45 days old are less fearful than non-handled kittens. They would approach new toys and strangers more frequently. Socialization is such an important part of a kitten's life, that it is often overlooked. People want cats that are fun to play with ..read more

Everyone wants quick and easy solutions. It's like ordering from a fast food restaurant; you get quick and cheap food but nothing beats that slow cooked pot roast/veggies. Unfortunately, the truth is, this is more convenient option especially when it comes to our pet problems. Complicated solutions and big words might sound fancy and what not but the real test is to keep the conversation to the point and effective. My dog Joey waits for me to finish talking to a client before we play a game. I can yap on about all the scientifically proven advice for hours but, if no one takes that advice the ..read more

Let me start off by saying that everyone has their own views. The first thing I look at before I try to bring about any change; I ask the person if they WANT to change. So if you're reading this, you must have some desire to know more, to learn and to change. When you bring a puppy home, you NEED to be ready for change. Unless you normally have poop in the middle of your hall room. There is no judgement if you do, as that would make this easier. Change can be positive too as a puppy brings bursts of happiness, joy and comfort too. Everyone's first dog will always have a special place in their ..read more
