While you know your cat well, it may be difficult to figure out the personality of his or her future companion when you don’t have enough time, if any, to properly assess their behavior. This is where a good shelter can help out – workers and volunteers often know the cats well enough and can help you see which would be the best fit for you and your cat.

Well, knowing the breed of your cat, if he or she is pedigreed, can give you some indication about their temperament. Never rely solely on the cat’s breed as your guide. Always do keep in mind that even when you make the perfect choice, you still need to introduce the cats to each other gradually and “by the rules”.

Maybe you are wondering why cats do have long hours of sleep. Well, as being nocturnal predators, cats tend to sleep during the day and keep awake during the night. However, you can influence your cat’s sleeping times. If you provide plenty of stimuli during the day, in the form of cat toys or a companion cat, the cat is more likely to keep awake during the day and then spend the night sleeping.

If you wish to reduce your cat’s nightly activities, you might try to spend some time with her, playing some interactive games to tire her out before bedtime. According to studies or researches, the average cat sleeps for 13-18 hours a day. The exact number can change according to the cat’s age and personality.

If you do own a cat, you better understand her or his long hours of sleep. Just like us, they need to take some rest to stay active the hours when they are awake. In order to understand them well, you can start researching more about cat’s behavior and know more about their species.

Having time to play with your pets is really something which matters them most. Like kids who love playing, pets also want to play and get some attention to their owner. When you own a cat and looking for best games to make them feel active and alive, it is important that you know appropriate games which suits them best. And of course, here are some of these things;

Balls – Cats find it very hard to resist a ball as it catches their eye, rolling or bouncing on the floor. Colorful balls intended for cats are made of such materials as plastic, rubber, or sponge. Many of the balls have a small bell in them or are made in such a way that they make a sound as they roll.

Toy mice – There are wind-up toy mice with spring mechanisms that will run in circles on the floor. Cats are fascinated with any object that moves on its own, and may continue playing with such a toy long after it stops moving. In addition, there are simple toy mice, some containing catnip that the cat can easily throw in the air to catch again. Fur toy mice are a real attraction for some cats, and some of these are sold with a stand to which they are connected with a spring.

“Fish rods” – These are plastic rods resembling a fishing rod, with a small toy on the end of a string in place of the bait. The great advantage of these “fishing rods” is that they can be held by a human located at some distance (approximately three feet) away from the cat. That way, the game is interactive while the human participant cannot be scratched or bitten in the excitement of the play.

We can use this advantage of making them feel at home and makes their playtime just at all.

Many cat’s owners are trying to discipline their cats when it comes to scratching. In order for this behavior to stop or to avoid, it is important to understand the cat’s needs may help us provide good alternatives for scratching. If all else fails, there are various products that can help eliminate the damage without hurting the cat. Well, it is said that scratching objects is natural for all cats and has several reasons.

First, by scratching a rough surface, your cat loses the outer sheath of the nail, which is necessary for keeping the claws sharp and healthy. Scratching also serves as a means to mark territory. Cats have special glands on their paws that secret individual scent marks. We cannot smell those, but for other cats they serve as a clear signpost.

Scent marks are accentuated by the visual scratch marks, making a scratching post the feline equivalent of a personal signature. In order to avoid making your cat fun of scratching, it is important to understand them and make them feel secured at all times.
