Did You Know

Cats have more ____ in their spine than humans.

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

Meet Today’s Cat of the Day, Buoy

Daily Purr reader Carol introduces Buoy, a tiny traveler with a big voice and an even bigger heart. Born on Martha’s Vineyard, Buoy made the ferry trip to Cape Cod to join his new family—and quickly found his place in their lives.

He’s currently busy exploring every inch of his new home and getting to know his sister, Daisy. Though small and soft, Buoy has no problem making himself heard—he’s got impressive “pipes” and isn’t shy about using them.

Carol’s daughter calls him her buoy in rough seas, and we can see why. Thanks for sharing your grandkitty with us, Carol!

Cat Dandruff Is a Thing

Ever noticed little white flakes on your cat’s back or bed and thought, Is that… dandruff? You’re not imagining it. Just like humans, cats can get dry, flaky skin—and it’s more common than you’d think.

While it’s easy to shrug off, dandruff can actually be your cat’s way of telling you something’s off. It could be dry indoor air, not enough grooming (especially in older or chunkier cats who can’t reach certain spots), or even something deeper like a food sensitivity or skin imbalance.

One of the sneaky culprits? Diet. Cats need the right balance of fats, hydration, and nutrients to keep their skin soft and their fur shiny. If they’re missing something, it often shows up in their coat first.

The good news: there are ways to help—from brushing more often to adding moisture to the air. Some cat parents also find that gentle, natural supplements can help support skin health. Because cuddles shouldn’t come with a dusting of dandruff.

What’s Up With Your Cat’s Constant Itching?

A Dramatic Cat Barely Tolerates His Bath

If you’ve ever tried bathing a cat, you’ll recognize the look—betrayal, disbelief, and just a hint of revenge. One black cat from a Philly grooming salon captured all five stages of bath-time drama in a now-viral TikTok, and the internet can’t stop watching.

The cat, mid-groom, stares into the void while a text overlay jokingly walks us through denial to acceptance. But behind the theatrics is a relatable truth: sometimes cats need help staying clean. Whether they’ve gotten into something sticky or are simply extra floofy, the occasional bath is part of the job.

The groomer behind the video says the cat handled it better than the footage suggests. And for those wondering if a bath is worth the drama, it can be—especially if done gently, with praise, treats, and a calm touch.

It’s a reminder that even the sassiest cats have their soft spots, and sometimes, a little care (plus a good blow-dry) goes a long way.
