Kitten Behaviour & Training

The sound of a feline purring contentedly is music to a cat lover’s ears, but have you ever found yourself wondering, “why do cats and kittens purr?” The reason is more complex than you might think.

As a responsible cat owner, it’s essential to understand the importance of kitten socialisation. In this article, we’ll explore what socialising a kitten involves, why it matters, and how to ensure your furry friend grows up to be a confident and well-adjusted cat.

The world can seem like a big and uncertain place from the perspective of a kitten, particularly one that’s recently been separated from their mum and litter. Here are some ways to bring your newest family member out of their shell.

Lions, tigers, panthers…and your adorable kitten. Yes, they all descended from one feline family, and your kitten hasn’t forgotten. Admiring your kitten’s agility and stealth from afar might be fun, but most of us are less fond of their other predatory play habits like pouncing on and gnawing our hands, feet, and clothes.

Establishing a safe and accessible toileting environment for your kitten from day one is key to helping them settle into their new home.

We’re all guilty of it at one time or another – prowling the internet for images of cats crammed into undersized boxes. Adorable as these pictures are, scientists and behavioural biologists contend that there are predatory and security benefits related to cats inhabiting boxes – it seems they don’t simply do it for our amusement.
