We have been cat owners for many, many years at this point. We think we know our stuff. When new cat owners ask us for advice, we're pretty sure we give pawsome advice. But we have made enough mistakes over the years to know that even after many years of owning cats, there is always something to learn, and there is absolutely no shame about it.
Cat ownership is not easy. Don't let anyone fool you. It only looks easy from the outside. But cats are animals, and when taking care of animals, there is always a lot that you need to know. We have all kinds of questions over time about cats. Questions like: why do our cats still bite us sometimes? And how do we help cats stay cool on hot days? And is using a squirt bottle actually harmful, and if it is, what can we use instead? It's better to ask than to make a mistake, and it's better to remind other cat owners as well, even if you think it's something that they know already.
