Being a cat owner is an experience that comes with countless adorable moments, but there are a few head-scratching ones too that we are still trying to decipher. In this article, we’re looking at cats and cucumbers and why people shouldn’t get involved with the craze of these online videos. We have plenty of studies – and of course, our own understanding and intuition with regards to our feline friends that help us figure out some of their weird likes and dislikes, such as why cats like to sleep so much or why cats adore boxes.

But what’s the truth? Are cats' colour blind or can they appreciate a rainbow of hues just like we can?

With all the dangers of modern urban life, more and more cat owners are opting to keep their felines permanently at home. Providing cats get plenty of opportunities for mental and physical enrichment, most will adapt well to living life as a house cat, but some will be less happy with this arrangement and will stare longingly at the window, begging to be let out.

Being curious as to how far your cat’s sensing capabilities stretch is not an uncommon thought to have, especially as some of their abilities go beyond anything we are able to do ourselves.

Having a baby is an exciting time but it’s also a huge disruption for the entire household. And this of course includes your cat.

A baby, and everything that comes with it, is very definitely a big change! So here is how to make sure the first baby-cat meeting goes smoothly.

So, do cats feel the cold, and if so, when is it too cold for them?
