As pet sitters, we know that the stereotype of cats as aloof loners really misses the mark with most cats. In fact, a recent study showed that cats living with humans have similar attachment styles to pet parents as dogs and children do. A majority (64%) of the cats evaluated were described as securely attached to their humans. In addition, these cats showed less stress when near their caregivers.
Consider having one of our professional cat sitters visit for one or two daily dedicated play sessions. This can help alleviate stress for those cats who are distressed by solitude and can enjoy th ..read more

Hello! Feed me! Let me-out! Pet me! Play with me!
Your cat’s meow is generally your cat’s way of greeting you, or telling you he wants something. And his meows (distinguished from other vocalizations) are meant for your human ears alone–adult cats reserve meowing as a way of communicating with their owners, not their fellow cats.
In the wild, meowing is a juvenile vocalization that kittens make when they need their mothers that fades away as they mature. But domesticated cats, which tend to think of themselves as our forever offspring, keep talking to their “parents” throughout their ad ..read more
