It’s not unusual for cats to engage in a practice I call the nighttime zoomies. This is when they quickly run around the house for no reason. They’re not chasing anything; they’re just running like Usain Bolt at the Summer Olympics.

It’s well-documented how intelligent dogs are, but don’t underestimate the feline intellect! Like dogs, cats can learn their given names and will come to their humans when they are called for.

Cats can sense when their humans are not feeling well and will respond accordingly. When I had abdominal surgery and was recovering at home, my cat, who loves to knead her paws on my stomach, wouldn’t knead on me until I fully recovered.

Cats need to be entertained and mentally stimulated. A human can’t be the sole source of a cat’s entertainment, so it’s essential to have an ample supply of cat toys and activities; a cat tree, even cardboard boxes, can keep your furry friend content for hours.

Cats have a reputation for being aloof, but that’s not true for all. They’re not nearly as independent as people make them out to be. Many cats are very cuddly and affectionate with their humans.

Having a furry addition to your family often means dealing with a certain degree of shedding. Cats shed a lot, so don’t be surprised if you find cat hair in literally every nook and cranny of your house.
