Like us, cats can’t resist the call of Vitamin D. In summer, you know where your cat will be based on which slither of carpet is bathed in sunlight

At KatKin, we like to think outside the box, but we prefer that everything else happens inside the box! Inappropriate urination is one of the most common behaviour issues reported by cat owners. It can occur for a multitude of reasons including medical problems; litter tray aversion; or as a means of scent marking

Have you noticed your cat coughing? Or having a little breathing difficulty? These are symptoms of a wider problem, and they may have asthma - cats can get it too! Feline asthma is not too dissimilar to that in humans. It is defined as chronic inflammation within the lining of the airways

When it comes to sleep, cats are experts. Clocking approximately 12- 16 hours of snooze per day, they sleep roughly twice as much as the average human

We spend a lot of our time trying to teach our cats things ("here is where to find your litter tray", "this is how you high-five", "I'm not going to tell you again that one dead mouse a week is more than enough!"), but there's a lot that our cats can teach us as well.

The average lifespan of a cat in the UK is 14 years, with mixed breeds living a little longer than pure breed cats in general. There is of course much variation in longevity, and many factors play a role

If we know anything about cats, it's that they're extraordinarily good at getting themselves into sticky situations. Jumping from a height can be fun and games if they aim it right, but can sometimes results in a serious injury

Perhaps no greater controversy exists in feline nutrition than that of carbohydrates in cat food. Understandably, cat parents frequently question what science, evolution, and unique feline physiology tell us about the subject

It is estimated that one in five cats will get cancer in their lifetime, which is slightly lower than the incidence of cancer in people and dogs. Feline cancer is commonly seen in veterinary practice; and is one of the leading causes of death in cats
