National Answer Your Cat’s Question Day

Today is National Answer Your Cat’s Question Day. At first this sounds like a silly holiday but actually it is a day for you to ask questions about your cat’s behavior so you can help them. For instance, if your cat runs when it sees its carrier, come up with a question he might ask like “why do you stuff me in that thing and scare me and take me to that scary place?” Once you see things from your cat’s perspective, take some time to come up with a way to make things easier for your cat. For the carrier look at ways to make it a more positive experience i.e., keep it out so it is a den for your cat or put treats in it and then try some short trips that don’t end up at the vet. So as crazy as this holiday sounds, it really is about becoming a better cat caregiver by asking questions about their behaviors. On a lighter note, enjoy this video from the Ellen Show.
