People usually start searching “Turkish Angora” when they’re weighing up a particular kitten, trying to decode a breeder listing, or checking whether this elegant longhair will suit a real home (not just a pretty photo). The details matter: coat care, noise, energy, and a couple of health risks can shape the next 15 years. The […]
Loose stools are messy, but the real worry is what they can take with them: water, salts, and a cat’s comfort. A single soft poo after a diet change may pass quietly. Diarrhoea that keeps going, or arrives with vomiting, lethargy, or blood, can tip into dehydration fast—especially in kittens and older cats.1, 2 Below […]
Most people notice cat constipation the same way: a cat visiting the litter tray again and again, straining, and leaving little (or nothing) behind. It’s easy to hope it will pass on its own, but constipation can quietly tip from uncomfortable to dangerous—especially if the cat is actually struggling to urinate, or if stool becomes […]
People usually end up here because something has happened: your cat has come home with sticky sap on their coat, rolled in something foul, or they’ve been prescribed a medicated wash for an itchy skin problem. You want them clean, but you also want everyone to get out of the bathroom with skin, nerves, and […]
Most people look up the American Bobtail because they’ve seen a cat with that unmistakable short tail and want to know what it’s like to live with one—how big it gets, how much grooming it needs, and whether the tail comes with health risks. The American Bobtail is a fully domestic breed with a naturally […]
People usually start looking up Russian Blue cats when they’re weighing up a kitten, trying to identify a cat they’ve adopted, or checking whether the breed will suit a quiet home, a busy household, or someone with allergies. The details matter. A Russian Blue’s dense coat and reserved nature can be a good fit for […]
People usually start looking up Siamese cats when they’re weighing up a new pet: will this breed fit a busy household, cope with time alone, or turn the lounge room into an all-day conversation? A Siamese can be a steady, affectionate companion, but their need for company and stimulation is real—and it shapes everything from […]
Feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) is the diagnosis people dread hearing after weeks of vague signs: a young cat who won’t eat, a fever that won’t settle, a belly that suddenly fills with fluid, or a slow drift into weight loss and dullness. The stakes are simple. Without effective antiviral treatment, FIP is often fatal. With […]
Most cat health problems don’t arrive with a clear label. A bit of sneezing can be nothing, or the start of a contagious respiratory infection. A few drops of urine outside the tray can be stress, or a blockage that turns dangerous fast. The difference is often timing. Below are the cat ailments Australian owners […]
Most people land here while weighing up a very practical choice: is a cat the right pet for your household, and what care will keep them healthy without surprises. The stakes are ordinary but real — scratched furniture, stressed animals, preventable vet bills, and (in Australia) the impact a roaming cat can have on wildlife. […]
People usually land on litter-training advice in the same moment: a new kitten has arrived, and the first accident has already happened. The goal is simple—help your kitten find the tray quickly, so your home stays clean and your kitten builds a steady, low-stress routine. Most kittens learn fast when the set-up is right: an […]
Cat allergy usually becomes a problem the moment a cat enters your life — a partner moves in with one, the kids start asking, or you’re trying to work out why you wheeze every time you visit certain homes. The question is rarely abstract. It’s practical: is this really cat allergy, how serious is it, […]
People usually start looking up the Turkish Van when they’ve seen a white cat with a coloured tail and “cap”, heard the rumour about a cat that willingly splashes in water, and want to know whether the breed is real—or just internet folklore. The details matter. A Turkish Van’s coat pattern, size, energy level, and […]
People usually find this topic when their cat starts moving differently — hesitating before a jump, taking the stairs one careful step at a time, or seeming “older” almost overnight. Arthritis is a common cause, and it matters because cats tend to reduce what hurts rather than show obvious lameness, so pain can simmer quietly […]
People usually end up reading about Oriental Shorthairs for one of three reasons: they’ve fallen for that sleek, wedge-headed silhouette, they’re weighing up whether this is the right cat for their household, or they’re trying to make sense of the breed’s health and care needs before committing. The decisions are small but real—choosing a breeder, […]
Most people end up reading about Korat cats when they’re weighing up a kitten from a breeder, checking whether the breed will suit a quieter home, or trying to understand what “silver-blue with green eyes” really looks like as the cat matures. With a rare breed, small details matter: coat colour rules, eye colour timelines, […]
Most people look up cat life expectancy when they’re weighing up a few practical decisions: should their cat stay indoors, what “healthy weight” actually looks like, and whether that quiet change in appetite is worth a vet visit. Cats are hardy, private animals. They often carry pain and illness without much fuss. A few simple […]
People usually find themselves here after a blunt weigh-in at the vet, a photo that shows a widening waist, or a quiet change at home: a cat that no longer jumps up, grooms properly, or plays for long. Extra weight can creep on so slowly it feels like “just getting older”, yet it raises the […]
Most people land here after noticing the same small set of signs: head-shaking, ear scratching, a new smell, or dark wax that looks wrong. Cat ears are delicate, and the difference between “a bit of wax” and an infection, mites, or an allergic flare-up can matter—because the wrong kind of cleaning can make an inflamed […]
Most people search “Angora cat” when they’re trying to check what the breed is really like before adopting: how much grooming is involved, whether the coat is hard to manage, and what health issues tend to show up. With long hair and a fine coat, a few everyday decisions—brushing, dental care, keeping them safely contained—make […]
