On the island of Lanai sits a place cat lovers describe as pure paradise. The Lanai Cat Sanctuary is an open-air haven where more than 600 cats stretch out in the sun, curl into volunteers’ laps, and greet visitors like they’ve known them for years. Since 2014, the sanctuary has cared for over 1,800 rescued cats.

It’s also become an unforgettable wedding venue. Couples exchange vows with cats weaving around their feet, and guests toss treats instead of confetti. But you don’t need a ceremony to enjoy the magic. Visitors can join yoga sessions surrounded by curious cats or stay after dark to stargaze with telescopes and furry company beside them.

Beyond the fun, the sanctuary plays a critical role in helping Hawaii’s most vulnerable cats. After the 2023 Maui wildfires, they took in hundreds of displaced felines, offering safety and care.

Every part of the sanctuary reflects a simple belief: cats deserve warmth, comfort, and a life filled with love.

Teaching your cat to high five isn’t just adorable. It’s a fun way to bond and add a little enrichment to their day. And yes, most cats can learn it, as long as the sessions are short and play by their rules.

Start somewhere calm with your cat relaxed and sitting. Hold a treat in your closed fist and let curiosity kick in. The moment their paw lifts, even a little, mark it with a “yes” or a click and give a reward. Those tiny paw-raises count.

Once they’re consistently touching your hand, pair the action with the cue: “high five.” Keep it simple and repeat in small bursts so your cat doesn’t get bored. When they’ve connected the dots, switch to an open palm and reward every time that paw lands on your hand.

If your cat starts to lose interest, take a break and come back later. With patience, treats, and the right mood, you’ll have a proud little high-fiver in no time.

Thinking about adding a little “wild” to your life? The Cheetoh cat looks straight out of the jungle, but their personality is all house-pet sweetness. Created in 2003 from Bengals and Ocicats, this spotted beauty is known for being affectionate, playful, and very, very social.

Cheetohs are big cats (often 12 to 25 pounds) and even bigger talkers. They adore being around people, follow you from room to room, and expect a solid amount of attention every day. These cats are active, curious, and happiest when they have space to climb, explore, and chase whatever moves.

They’re also smart. A Cheetoh can learn tricks, walk on a harness, or master puzzle toys quickly. With their minimal-shedding coats, grooming stays simple: a weekly brushing, nail trims, and lots of playtime.

Cheetohs get along well with kids, friendly dogs, and other energetic cats. Just don’t expect them to settle for a quiet household. This breed thrives on action, conversation, and family life.
