Welcome to The Cat Lover
Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoy the stories and information about our furry friends. As a long term cat lover, starting with Sulieman the Magnificent (Suli) when I was about two years old up to the present menagerie of Gizmo (getting old and grumpy) and two bumptious kittens, Rafiki and Foe, I don't know how I could live without them!
As some wit once said "Dogs have masters, cats have servants." How true that is!
Enjoy browsing.

Cat grooming is not a subject that most cat owners give much thought to but as we all know, cats spend a great deal of their time licking their paws and rubbing them across their face or getting into unlikely positions in order to lick their backs, chests and other parts that we won't mention here. Collectively, this activity is known as grooming.

Although nearly everyone walks their dog, people rarely walk their cats. All the same, cats can learn to walk on a lead. As a matter of fact, there are collars, harnesses, and leads designed purely for cats.

Cat Breeds - The Balinese
|
|
There are so many breeds of cat available for the cat fancier to choose from that it can be somewhat baffling, but first impressions can be deceptive and like humans, many cats' characters are not as they may appear from the outside.

Even people who know very little about cats have heard of the Siamese cat breed. After all, these felines are even fictional characters in several popular whodunnit series, perhaps because this cat breeds's curious nature and adventuresome spirit makes it a perfect investigator's helper.

Cat Hairballs - Tips for Dealing With Them by Liz Canham
|
|
If your cat has been coughing and retching, he may well have one or more hairballs. If you find a small sausage-shaped object which looks like compacted fur, it's probably a hairball that your cat has managed to displace on his own.

Tips: Washing a Cat - Some How To Tips
|
|
Why on earth would anyone want to wash a cat? you may ask. It sounds like a situation fraught with danger! Well, surprisingly, cats can get just as dirty or flea infested as dogs and sometimes you have no choice but to either wipe them down with special wipes or to bathe them. Wiping is relatively easy but washing is not. A word of warning though, cats' fur contains special oils to protect and "waterproof" it so never wash your can more than once a month.
