  • Why Cats Knock Things Over: Insights from a Certified Cat Behaviorist
    Mieshelle reveals that cats knock items over due to the excitement of movement, akin to hunting prey. "It's the excitement of the movement of prey," she says. Providing "seeking circuit" toys can help redirect this instinct. Ensure your cat is well-fed and has an engaging environment to prevent such behavior.
  • Cat Exercise Wheels: A New Frontier in Feline Fitness
    Mieshelle says cat wheels are great for exercise, especially for confident cats. "Cat wheels are very good for cats," she notes. They aid weight loss, but training is key. Use toys or treats to entice cats onto the wheel, and place it in a familiar, quiet area. The Fast Cat wheel is recommended. Visit www.thecatbehaviorclinic.com for more.
