Cats rub against us and scratch as a form of communication! They have scent glands on their cheeks and paws, so rubbing against us or scratching on vertical surfaces transfers their scent.
Trimming your dog’s nails play a vital role in maintaining your dog’s health! Neglected nails not only drive you up the wall with their continuous clicking across the floor, but can also cause health problems in your dog.
Do you have a reclining chair? Young puppies and kittens love to run under and hide in reclining chairs. Kittens are especially likely to climb up inside the chair and curl up for a nap, so be sure to check where your pet is before reclining!
