Cats Cats Cat Basics Health & Behavior Photos & Forums From Franny Syufy, your Guide to Cats I celebrated Mothers Day this year as I have in previous years, by donating to a animal shelter or foster group. This year my donation went to ARK (Angels Rescuing Kritters), the foster group/shelter that entrusted me with the care and love of my Sage and Gaither. These volunteers are my heroes with hearts of gold.

For instance a cat may shred your favorite chair with his claws to show his love (possession) of you, according to Amy Shojai, former Contributing Writer . photo © Getty Images/John P Kelly There's no doubt at all, though that these nursing kittens are all purring and kneading to show how happy they are, and how much they love their mom cat. No doubt, some of them will grow up to demonstrate their love for their human moms and dads in much the same way, as Amy described.

Cat Behavior 101 was created to help cat caregivers understand why cats do not always behave the way we expect them to, and to help them change those practices to more acceptable behavior. Behavioral problems in cats, such as avoiding the litterbox, excessive meowing and other attention-seeking behavior, biting and painful or destructive scratching can be corrected by first eliminating physical causes, then initiating a program of gradual retraining, with the help of these resources. Remember that there are no bad cats, only uninformed cat caregivers.
