In nature, cats are obligate carnivores, so their at-home bowls should only get the best meats as well. As cat Guardians we have a few options to choose from in this matter.

FabCatstic FAQ - getting the kitties used to new cat beds, scratchers and cat accessories

Sometimes you ask us, dear fabCats, if there’s a way you can convince your cats to use their new scratchers, beds and cat furniture.

Hairballs in cats - when swallowing fur gets dangerous

Everyday grooming routine? It runs in every cat’s blood and from their kitten stage they know to always show up to social events with perfectly clean paws and groomed fur. Short- and long haired, purebreds and street cats - they all love cleanliness and can spend up to several hours per day on cleaning themselves up. Thanks to a special hook-like structure of the tongue, cats are perfectly capable of removing dirt and dust from the fur, pulling out the loose hair as well.
