Cat Care

As a cat owner, you understand that your beloved companion won’t be with you forever—and facing that reality can be heartbreaking. Still, recognizing the signs that your cat may be nearing the end of their life can help you prepare emotionally and provide the comfort they need. This article explains the common symptoms that indicate a cat may be dying, what to expect during this time, and how you can make their final days as peaceful and pain-free as possible.

Have you ever caught your cat sniffing your ears or trying to steal your used earbuds? As strange as it may seem, many cats are fascinated by earwax—and there’s actually a reason behind it. Understanding why your cat behaves this way can help you respond safely. It’s best not to let them lick or play with earwax, as it may carry bacteria. Instead, redirect their curiosity with safe, engaging toys or cat treats that satisfy their need to explore scents and tastes.

Cat urine has a very strong, lingering odor that most people find unpleasant. The smell comes from compounds like ammonia and uric acid, which become more concentrated as the urine dries. Getting rid of it requires more than just a quick wipe—using the right cleaning methods and products is essential to fully neutralize the odor.
