Vinegar – you can spray a vinegar-water solution around any plants that are […]
Cat behaviour has always fascinated me and how many cat owners although devoted to these graceful, aloof creatures understand very little about what their little friend is trying to say to them. They have many intriguing behaviours and the silent meow is perhaps one of the most lest understood. There is a lovely quote by […]
You don’t often hear of cats saving someone or performing feats of bravery however I was pleased to find after a little searching that cats are positively little furry bundles of heroism! There are stories of them alerting their owners to gas leaks, floods and fire. Their heroism reaches true heights when it comes to […]
