One of the cutest characteristics of our cuddly kitties is the unique language they speak. Whether it's a brush of the leg in the purr-fect greeting or a "back off" groan, cat noises have many translations.

It's easy to overlook routine preventative care – we're all guilty of forgetting to book our own doctors' appointments, let alone Fluffy's. Cat vomiting, changes in behavior, and loss of appetite are just a few irregularities to keep in mind when visiting the vet. Let's break down cat wellness visits, what they are, and when to take your cat in for hers.

If you've ever been a witness to your fur baby using your kitchen faucet as her own personal cat water fountain, you're not alone. While you may have thought your kitty was an odd ball for lapping up water from the spout, this oddity has been reported by other cat parents.

For many, the first day of school can be exciting, for others it can be nerve-wracking. If only your kiddos could take their best feline friend to school with them. Since you can't pack your fur baby in your kid's backpack, send your little human back to school with this printer-friendly list of cat facts for kids.

Summer break's the purr-fect time to lounge by the pool, turn off the alarm, and reset from the hectic schedule of the school year. And, while these long, hot days seem never-ending, back-to-school is right around the corner. Thankfully, incredible teachers are getting ready to once again fill young brains with cat facts (ahem, knowledge).

During the summer months, pet parents need to be extra attentive to their outdoor cat. Even if she normally loves basking in the sun, your fur baby needs to stay hydrated and not overheat. Even though Fluffy is pretty adept at cooling herself down, there are several ways you can help your sweet kitty beat the heat this summer!

If you've experienced the joys of a drooling dog or the wet kisses of a teething toddler, one of your favorite things about your feline fur baby may be her lack of constant saliva. This doesn’t mean she’s immune to a little slobber, but if you’ve recently thought, "my cat is drooling a lot more these days," it could be time for Fluffy to get a check up.

In many communities, a feral cat becomes a community cat when several neighbors band together to care for the fur baby. Community cats don’t belong to anyone in particular, and while they may not always be suited to a permanent home, they do need the love and care of the neighborhood to survive their street lives.

Cats are undoubtedly the crowned champions of internet distractions. Hilarious kitty memes and goofy cat stories fill up your feed and provide the purr-fect excuse to not check that email or clean your kitchen. These cool cats and their crazy antics provide a smile even on the dreariest of days.

During the week leading up to Memorial Day 2019, we ran a promotion with a special give-back designed to help cat rescue groups and shelters. We pledged that for every bag of PrettyLitter that customers purchased for their fur babies, we would donate a bag to a shelter organization fighting to help homeless, ill, or abandoned kitties. It's with great joy that we announce we were able to donate more than 3,000 bags of PrettyLitter cat litter to the two cat rescue organizations during this special event.

Losing a loved one — especially one you share a home with — changes your whole world. After years of companionship, finding a new rhythm to your days can be incredibly hard and lonely. There's no easy way to deal with grief, but some seniors have found that adopting senior cats can begin to ease the pain of their loss.

The nightly news and morning papers are filled with depressing headlines and gut-wrenching stories, but there’s also an incredible amount of good in the world that often goes unnoticed. Perhaps some of the most heart-warming tales (or tails) are of everyday heroes saving cats and kittens. You know you love your fur baby, but how far would you go to save them? People have fought their way through fires, scaled buildings, jumped into frozen lakes, and other super-human stunts all for the love of kitties.
