Ask The Cats

Cats have been watching humans for a very long time.
We have thoughts.

Below you will find the questions we are asked most frequently. Why we do what we do. What we actually need... and whether the things you worry about are worth worrying about.

We have answered them as honestly as we are able, with a vet's summary at the end of each one for those who require official confirmation of what we have already told you.

The list grows. Come back.
