Am I giving my cat the right food?

If anything these caregivers would spend hours reading books and watching videos just to give their feline baby the right nutrient. But the internet only make things more confusing. So, here’s the thing: they’ve survived through storms for ages; they can definitely survive with gourmet food you serve. Remember, your vet is always the best source of guidance.

The sleep schedule

Ever catch your cat snoozing and wonder, ‘Is this normal?’ Well, it is actually! Kittens often sleep a ton! Even grown-up cats nap way more than we do. They’re not lazy, it’s just in their DNA, they can clock 16 hours of sleep a day. And we get it, watching them snooze non-stop can be a little worrying so this one’s for you: They are cats who do not have scheduled mornings and their only job is to once in a while chase mice and play with woolen balls.

Why so silent?
