Cats love to scratch.
For awhile it seemed as if every new shoe I owned, N'greeta
loved to scratch and chew on. Especially my hiking and beach shoes.
My wife and I have seen N'greeta pass up a perfectly good scratch
pad and start in on my stuff.
All the while looking at me saying, Hey, I'ms a cat and this is
whats I do.
And then came catnip...
Catnip or cat mint depending on how they say it in your town, is a
plant. There is an ingredient called Nepetalactone found in the
leaves of the plant and it makes some cats wild and happy.
If you have a cat that seems determined to scratch on furniture -or
shoes- you may want to give catnip a try.
Rub or sprinkle some on the scratch pad, post or area you have set
up for kitty to claw and be consistent.
Don't give up, scratching is a natural thing for Tabby so working
with him or her will allow her to show you her skills and you to
keep your shoes and furniture in tact.
Treat time
Have fun!

Cat Snore: Why Does My Cat Snore?
Our cat snores so loud, sometimes it wakes my wife and I out of our sleep.
Of course the lovely feline culprit doesn't budge. In fact I think she heads even deeper into slumber than before.
Nevertheless, it's hard to get mad at her when she's sleeping so soundly. Which, turns out, is one of the reasons why cat's snore.
Yep, when they are completely relaxed and trust their people, that cat nap can start to sound like a train coming through.
Also if something is irritating the passage or blocked in there, this can hinder the breathing too.
I've seen our cat sniffing something (getting the current news feed as I like to call it) and if a piece of fuzz gets caught, it's followed by a quick cat sneeze.
This usually gets rid of the offending piece of dust, but sometimes if not everything is pushed out, snoring can occur with some cats due to the blockage.
Also, snoring can sometimes mean something more serious. Maybe there is difficulty with kitty' breathing and needs to get checked out.
It's best to consult the family veterinarian to make sure all is well with our feline friends.
