Moo Moo and his very special buddy

While it’s an unlikely friendship, Moo Moo the cat grew up with…rats! Even as a kitten, he loved the family’s pet rats so much, that his humans bought him a toy rat, named Ratty.

Today, Moo Moo and Ratty are still inseparable, with Moo Moo tossing his stuffed rat around and chasing it until he’s exhausted. Pure bliss!

Why do cats sleep so much?

Cats are curious creatures. They sleep for an average of 15 hours a day, and older felines may even catch some z’s for up to 20 hours a day! This makes you wonder: why do cats actually sleep so much?

Spaying or neutering a cat will completely change their personality

True

False

YOU’RE RIGHT!

While some of your cat’s behavior can be hormone-driven, their overall personality won’t change. A scaredy cat, for example, won’t suddenly become outgoing – no matter how much we want them to. Some negative behaviors can however be prevented or reduced by spaying or neutering your cat, such as spraying, mounting or fighting.

SORRY, YOU’VE GOT IT WRONG…

Chocolate is not only dangerous for dogs, but also for cats

True

False

YOU’RE RIGHT!

Chocolate contains a substance called theobromine, which cannot be metabolized by cats. As a result, the theobromine will build up in your cat’s body and lead to serious conditions, particularly liver failure. Some symptoms of chocolate poisoning in cats are restlessness, diarrhea, vomiting, increased breathing rate, elevated temperature, muscle rigidity, and seizures. Darn it, now you’ll have to eat all the chocolate yourself…

SORRY, YOU’VE GOT IT WRONG…

Indoor cats don’t need to be vaccinated or dewormed

True

False

YOU’RE RIGHT!

Even though Fluffy might not be allowed outside, they could still come into contact with pathogens and get deadly diseases, even without direct contact with another pet. You wonder how? Just think of the dirt that sticks to your otherwise white shoes. Luckily, effective vaccines against these diseases exist, so make sure to get your cat their shots. Also, don’t forget to deworm your indoor cat, as even they can get worm infections from pathogens you or other pets brought in.

SORRY, YOU’VE GOT IT WRONG…

Kittens from the same litter can have different fathers

True

False

YOU’RE RIGHT!

This phenomenon is called superfecundation and is fairly common in cats. A female cat is fertile for up to 7 days on end. Therefore, if she gets several male cats between the sheets – or leaves, in this case – during this period, her eggs can be fertilized by various males, causing the litter mates to have different fathers. Note that 1 kitten can only have 1 biological father though. That would be quite the family reunion, huh?

SORRY, YOU’VE GOT IT WRONG…

A cat will happily live a vegetarian life.

True

False

YOU’RE RIGHT!

Cats are obligate carnivores, which means that they need high-quality meat proteins to survive. Our felines need taurine and arginine to stay healthy, and these amino acids can pretty much only be found in meat. So, while veggies do bring your cat various benefits, it’s the big, juicy steak your cat really needs

Carrots

Is carrot good for my cat?

Wet food for cats increasingly contains vegetables. While our little carnivores do need a diet that consists mainly of meat, carrots do have several benefits to bring to the mix.
