Greetings, my pawsome human minions. Tis your favorite cat of wisdom, back again to unravel more feline mysteries for those who fancy us. And oh, you silly humans and your questions. You genuinely think of some good ones. And this post came to be thanks to a question my mother blurted as she stared at me napping. Squinting at my cracked eyes, watching me as I watched her, Mom asked, “Forrest, why do cats sleep with their eyes open? It’s creepy!” My reply? First of all, nothing I do is creepy. I’m a cat; therefore, my actions are always adorable and delightful. And if she wants to talk creepy, let’s discuss her wicked snoring. That’s what’s creepy. She sounds like some otherworldly monster coming for us all. And secondly, sleeping with an open eye or even two serves a purpose for a cat. Why Do Cats Sleep with Their Eyes Open? When I tell you a cat is always watching, I’m not overstating. As supreme predators, we keep a tight watch on our surroundings, even when napping. So while...

The fluffy five-year-old has his very own YouTube channel (with 541k subscribers), along with a following on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. He is most well-known for his humorous antics, but the patient pup is also capable of melting hearts.

But Bailey pulls his face away, and the pair stare straight into the camera. The angle alone makes them look incredibly adorable, never mind what’s to come. This lasts for a few seconds before the kitten yawns and begins to sniff and scrutinize the patient pup. ...

While a lovely flower, lilies are HIGHLY toxic to cats. All parts of the flower and plant can be deadly to felines. Even just a few grains of pollen can put a cat’s life in danger. Drinking the water from a vase of lilies can even sicken or kill a cat. Feline kidneys are easily poisoned by ‘true lily’ and ‘daylily’ types of lilies and will shut down in just a matter of days after exposure. Cat mom Kayli Vee Levitan of Cape Town, South Africa, wants all cat lovers to know the danger of lilies after her beloved ginger cat passed away from lily poisoning. Kayli’s efforts have led some retailers to change the labeling on their floral labels to reflect the danger of having lilies near cats. @KayliVee/ Twitter Simple Change of Text Could Save Lives In a tweet addressed to retailers Woolworths, Pick ‘n Pay, Checkers, Spar, and NetFlorist, Kayli wrote, “I don’t want your money or products. I come to you pleading for a simple change that could save lives. A change so simple that it just...
