Did You Know…?

A wagging tail in a cat usually means _____, not happiness like in dogs.

(scroll to the bottom to find the answer!)

Nonna, an 11-year-old cat, had been longing for a companion. Her housemate Stevie wasn’t interested, and other chances at friendship never quite stuck. Then, one afternoon, Nonna’s mom heard a strange tapping at the window.

Outside was a tiny baby bunny, staring in like she wanted to say hello. Nonna jumped to the window right away. The two sat face-to-face, calm and curious. The bunny left shortly after, but returned the next day—this time pawing at the glass as Nonna followed her along the window.

After a few visits, the bunny disappeared. When Nonna’s mom spotted a snake in the same garden bed the bunny had napped in, she feared the worst.

But a week later, the tapping returned—and the baby bunny was back. Nonna took her place at the window, thrilled to see her tiny friend again. Now, Nonna waits by the window, hoping for another visit.

Ever notice your cat staring at something invisible—or acting strange for no clear reason? You’re not alone. Stories of cats watching empty corners, tracking unseen movements, or reacting to silent rooms have fueled the idea that cats might sense more than we do.

Some believe it’s just instinct. Cats have excellent low-light vision, sensitive hearing, and whiskers that detect the tiniest changes in air movement. But others point to deeper folklore. In ancient Egypt, cats were considered divine protectors with ties to the spirit world. The goddess Bastet was even depicted with a cat’s head.

Experts like cat behaviorist Jackson Galaxy suggest that while there’s no proof cats see ghosts, they’re tuned in to things humans can’t sense. He’s seen his own cats react to changes in energy around the house.

Whether you believe in the paranormal or not, cats’ behavior is undeniably mysterious—and it might just leave you wondering what they’re seeing that you’re not.

Why do some people see amazing results with collagen while others notice nothing at all? The answer isn't in your age or biology – it's hidden in the supplement label. Most consumers over 50 are missing 5 crucial signs that reveal whether their collagen supplement is the real deal or just expensive protein powder. Before you spend another dollar on collagen, discover what leading researchers say you must look for. This could be the most important label-reading lesson you'll ever get.

Thank you to NativePath for sponsoring Daily Purr.

With their spotted coats and bold personalities, Ocicats may look like wildcats, but they’re 100% domestic. Originally bred by accident in the 1960s, these cats combine the Siamese’s smarts with the American Shorthair’s solid build and striking patterns.

Ocicats are playful, affectionate, and incredibly social. They follow their people around the house, enjoy playing fetch, and can even be leash trained. They get along well with other pets, but often like to be in charge. If you have a busy home and want a cat that wants to be involved, this breed fits right in.

Their short coats are low maintenance, but their energy is high, so toys, climbing spots, and puzzles are a must.

Just be ready: they’re clever enough to open doors and don’t like being alone. These cats thrive in families who can match their energy and return their endless affection.

From supportive dads to summer drama, here’s what’s trending:

• 👶 Cat dad steps up during his cat’s labor—and it’s the sweetest show of support. See the moment!

• 🌡️ Senior cat refuses to stay inside during a heat wave—and makes her feelings very clear. Watch the protest!

• 🌞 Cats are living their best summer lives in these sunny, splashy photos. View the gallery!

Daily Purr is brought to you with love from our cats. We hope they can brighten your day, just like they do ours. ❤️

Love,

Olive, Milo, and Yasmine.
