While writing my new book, Total Cat Mojo, I encountered a pretty big roadblock when it came to encapsulating what I know about litter box problems(and one that I run into when explaining to clients): There is no stock, one-size-fits-all solution to these issues. They are like pee and poop-shaped snowflakes, as individual as the cat […]

Hey Everyone –
I’m privileged enough to have written several books on the subject of cats and my life with them. I often get questions about certain topics and realize that there’s no better way to answer them than to reference what I’ve already written. This is one of those times.

I was looking through Facebook comments yesterday, and hiding among shoutouts and shared pictures was this:“Hey there, Cat Daddy! I’m a huge fan of the color purple, just like you. So when I was thinking about dyeing my cat’s hair, that seemed to be the logical color to choose. What do you think?” Wait… what? […]

Some years back, my friends and I rescued an old Maine Coon from a freezing barn in Iowa after a blizzard. We took him home, named him Grolsch (my friend was Dutch and liked beer, what could I say?), and he quickly adapted to indoor living. It was difficult to ascertain his age since years […]

Litter box avoidance remains one of the most prevalent dilemmas cat guardians have to navigate. Let’s take a look at a few of the more common reasons your cat may be electing to take things“outside the box.”
