Proper nutrition for cats? If it depended on their whim, our furry companions would probably ask only for a fresh piece of tuna or grab the best bites from their hooman’s plate. 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.

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. The natural, first response would be obviously “don’t force anything!” - after all, we’re working with a cat here and, being a cat, he always strives to achieve independence and move at their own pace. But then, there’s time to reflect and the question appears - how can you get a cat used to new accessories, if he’s turning his whiskers up at them?

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.
