There are many different kinds of cat collars on the market, so it is important that you choose a cat collar that’s perfect to suit your cat’s needs. The following are some of the types of cat collars:
1. Buckle collar - the easiest type for a cat to wear, since it can be put on and taken off easily and quickly.
2. Adjustable collar – ideal for a younger cat that will need a collar that grows with them, thus saves you from purchasing a new one in the future.
3. Elastic collar - best for cats that do not need the extra weight and bulk of a buckle.
4. Collars with breakaway buckles - immediately frees the cat if he or she becomes caught on something.
5. Collars with reflective materials - keep your precious cat visible and safe at night

Cats make great pets. For one thing, they look adorable and are soft and cuddly. They also enjoy their solitude when they feel like it.
A cat does not follow you around like a shadow but is there when you need it. Cats love snuggling and curling up in warm cat beds. A cat can act like a princess, but if she feels like one, why stop her?
Anyone that has a cat is probably familiar with frayed couch corners, torn-up blinds and shredded carpets; these are all a result of a cat’s scratching. And, if you’re cat’s scratching is annoying you, don’t think you can change the behavior–because you can’t. Scratching is a natural behavior for cats and we all know cats aren’t the best at taking orders. But, what you can do is attempt to control where your cat scratches.
Cats don’t understand physical punishment, so hitting your cat when she scratches is one of the worst things you can do. Cats also have good memories and though they won’t associate you hitting them with their scratching behavior, they will remember that you hurt them and hold a grudge.
Cats scratch for many reasons including; marking their territory, exercise and because it simply feels good. The best option in preventing kitty from shredding your most prized possessions is to provide her with her own cat scratching post. Cats prefer scratching on rough surfaces, so picking a post made of wood is the best option. Also, make sure the post is tall enough so that your cat can stretch to her full height. Lastly, make sure the post is stable and cannot easily be tipped over.
So I have found that the cat that now lives in my house is a bit of a neurotic. It seems like she won’t be comfortable around me. There is a small trick that I have developed where I pretend to be asleep on the couch and she will actually walk on my body.
But when I show that I am awake, away she goes. I could tell that she wants some warmth and affection, so I want to make her feel at home with me. I think maybe she is in a lot of pain and might need some cat pain relief. I need to take her to the vet to find out. I actually am very optimistic about my new cat, the best things are not the easiest.
I just got a cat at the pound. The name that they gave to her was Little Muffin. Personally, I would not have named her that, but it was what she got, so I didn’t want to mess with fate. Well, Little Muffin is more than just a little handful. She gets in everything and often disappears under things for long periods of time.
Well, I got her a cat tower and that seems to be helping. She has one spot where she can go nuts and get all of her aggression out. I think that this relationship is a work in progress.
