Why does my cat…

Why does my cat’s fur puff up randomly?

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

Ever feel like your cat is plotting something? From silently slipping into rooms to suddenly appearing behind you, their stealthy ways can seem almost intentional. But this behavior isn’t just for show—it’s instinct.

Cats are natural hunters, relying on quiet movements to stalk prey. Unlike dogs, who often seek attention, cats prefer a calculated approach. This also applies to their cautious side. In the wild, staying hidden can mean survival, which is why even the most spoiled house cat might dart under the bed at a loud noise.

Sneakiness can also be playful. Some cats “hunt” their toys—or even their humans—by lurking in doorways and pouncing at just the right moment. Providing hiding spots, puzzle toys, and climbing spaces can help satisfy these instincts.

However, if your cat starts hiding more than usual, it could be a sign of stress or illness. Paying attention to their habits ensures they stay happy and healthy. So, next time your cat vanishes without a trace, just remember—it’s in their nature.

Does your cat have a signature move when they’re up to something? We’d love to know!

Ever noticed your cat’s fur looking a little dull or rough? A shiny, soft coat isn’t just about looks—it’s a sign of good health. If their fur is dry, brittle, or shedding more than usual, their diet could be the reason.

Here’s what to focus on:

• Healthy fats: Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids (found in fish and flaxseed) help keep fur sleek and skin hydrated.

• High-quality protein: Since fur is mostly protein, a diet rich in animal-based protein supports strong, shiny hair.

• Essential vitamins & minerals: Zinc, biotin, and vitamin E all play a role in preventing dry, flaky skin.

Hydration is just as important. Cats that don’t drink enough water can develop dry, itchy skin, so adding wet food or using a pet fountain can help.

If your cat’s coat isn’t looking its best, a diet tweak might be all they need.

If your cat’s fur has lost its shine or feels rough to the touch, chances are your furball is missing key nutrients. The good news? The right supplement can help bring back that soft, sleek look.

Ever walked into a room to find your cat curled up on your shoes—or even dragging them across the floor? Cats seem to have an odd fascination with footwear, but there’s actually some logic behind it. From marking their territory to seeking comfort, here’s why your cat can’t resist your shoes.

• Scent Marking: Cats have scent glands on their faces and bodies that release pheromones. When they rub against your shoes, they’re claiming them as their own.

• Comfort & Familiarity: Your shoes carry your scent, which can be soothing to your cat—especially when you’re not home. Some cats even sleep on shoes for a sense of security.

• Curiosity & Smell: Shoes pick up all sorts of scents from the outside world. To your cat, sniffing them is like reading a daily news update.

• Playtime & Attention: Dangling shoelaces make great toys, and if your cat realizes messing with your shoes gets your attention, they might do it more often.

Next time your cat snuggles up to your sneakers, you’ll know why! Does your cat have a favorite pair?
