True or False?

A cat’s nose changes color depending on their body temperature.

When a tiny four-week-old tabby arrived at the shelter, she didn’t wait around for fate to decide her future. The moment animal care specialist Courtney walked by, the kitten locked eyes with her in a way that felt strangely intentional, like she’d been saving that look just for the right person.

By the end of the shift, Courtney was heading home with the kitten, who immediately transformed from shy shelter baby into full-blown explorer. She zoomed through rooms, napped on a giant teddy bear, and followed Courtney like a fluffy shadow. For such a tiny thing, she carried a surprising amount of confidence (and opinions).

When it came time to choose a name, the kitten picked one herself (Poppy), selecting it from a group of options Courtney had laid out. And as she grew, so did her quirks: morning cuddles, fearless car rides, and instant friendships with every visitor.

When Poppy was ready for adoption, Courtney’s friends fell in love and welcomed her home as Cleo. Best of all, Courtney still gets to see her.

In multi-cat homes, the litter box can quietly become a source of tension. Even the friendliest cats prefer their own space when it comes to bathroom habits, and sharing a single box can lead to stress, accidents, or one cat avoiding the box entirely.

That’s why veterinarians swear by the “one box per cat, plus one” rule. It gives every cat options, reduces territory disputes, and keeps the bathroom routine calm and predictable. When each cat can choose a clean, comfortable spot, everyone relaxes, including you.

And the type of litter matters just as much as the number of boxes. A soft, low-dust, naturally fresh formula helps each box feel inviting instead of competitive. When every box smells clean and stays easy to maintain, it supports the harmony your cats crave.

In a multi-cat home, a few extra litter boxes aren’t overkill. They’re the secret to keeping peace, confidence, and whiskers unruffled.

For years, the Scottish wildcat seemed destined to disappear from Britain’s landscape. Once widespread, the species was pushed to the brink by hunting, habitat loss, and hybridization with domestic cats. Only a small population remained in remote parts of Scotland, sparking concern that these cats might vanish entirely.

Now, conservationists say there’s real reason for hope. The South West Wildcat Project has spent two years studying whether wildcats could return to other regions where they once thrived. Early findings look promising: there’s enough connected woodland to support them, and most surveyed residents say they’d welcome the species back.

These wildcats look similar to tabby housecats but are stockier, with thick winter coats and blunt, black-banded tails. They mainly hunt small mammals, making them unlikely threats to pets or livestock. While some locals worry about competition with barn owls or increased hybridization risk, researchers say those concerns can be managed.

If all goes well, reintroductions could begin in 2028. After decades of decline, Britain’s only native feline may finally get the fresh start it deserves.
