Incorporating scents that cats love, like catnip, basil, cat thyme, and non-toxic flowers in your home, can provide them with stimulation and calm. You don’t have to eliminate your favorite coffee habit or toss your citrus cleaner, but airing out those scents with an open window will help...
but it’s usually just a creative, if dark, way of saying that something smells really bad. Since cats are normally “groom first and ask questions later” animals, if your kitty smells like death or otherwise has a foul odor, you likely find it quite strange. It can mean that something...
If there had been a hiatus of a similar period, but in the middle of our lives together, I would have regrets, but the loss likely would not loom so large. I stopped walking the dogs for two weeks last summer after I sprained my ankle. I hated it for them. But since it wasn’t ...
When your whole house smells like dog pee (and let's face it, when you have a canine, that happens sometimes), the first thing you'll want to do is clean. Surprisingly, pee and bleach are not a good combination. The chemical composition of bleach and urine results in a toxic gas whe...
