On thing you can say for cats is that they are very clean animals. Are there other reasons cats spend so much time licking themselves? Most people never ask this question because they think cats lick themselves to stay clean. You will be surprised to learn that there are other reasons why cats lick themselves.

Regulating body heat is another reason why cats lick themselves. If they are hot, the y lick to cool down, if they are cold, licking helps warm them up. The tongue is like a thermostat.

Have you ever wondered who invents the different scoopable cat litters? Well I have to tell you that not all cat litters are created equally. I have always used one brand of cat litter for years and never have had anyone smell a litter box when they visit. I use Scoop Away. Trying to save a penny did not pay off for me a few months ago. It actually caused me nothing but problems.

Having three cats is rough on the budget since you need litter every week and food every three weeks. One way I have managed to save money on cat litter is by cleaning the litter box once in the morning and once at bedtime. This has helped keep the litter in the box where it belongs. I have a cat that is so tidy that he insists on cleaning up after everyone and scatters litter all over the place.

Have you ever wondered what is in those cat toys that make cats go nuts? It is catnip and it is like a high for cats. You can buy cat toys with catnip or you can buy plain old catnip to give the cats once and a while. They will act funny for about an hour or so if you give them straight catnip or as long as they play with their cat toys if that is how they get the catnip.

You never know what to do after you spoil your cats, but I have two that are spoiled and one that could care less about anything. I can be typing on the keyboard and I have one cat that will pull my arm away from the keyboard to pet her. Then I have one that thinks I should sit on the edge of the chair or couch until he is done sleeping for the night.

Many new parents will tell you that they have no worries about handling their cats and then the baby. This is true, but some will tell you that you should wash your hands before handling the baby after touching the cats. The truth is that the cats live in the same home with the baby and eventually the two are going to meet and touch. So what is the big deal about washing your hands after touching a cat and before you touch the baby?

Cats are funny little creatures, you never know who they will like and who they will not like. Bringing home a new baby may or may not be tolerated. Baby cries can sometimes scare or annoy cats. Cats will need time to adjust to a new family member, but never try to introduce them until they are ready. Cats will gradually check out the baby when they feel the time is right. It is usually when they accept that the baby is going to stay a while.

Many people, especially younger people have never heard about keeping cats out of the baby’s bedroom or out of the crib because of the potential dangers that can result. I was very surprised to hear that my son and daughter-in-law had never heard anything about this danger.

Cats are drawn to the smell of breast milk or formula and the warmth of the baby and will enter the sleeping space of the baby to find the smell of the breast milk or formula. The cat will lay on top of the baby while it is sleeping and can smother the baby. This is not a rare occurrence. It has been documented many times in history. Cats do not know they are doing anything wrong, they are just curious and loving.
