Cat Behavior

We’re so excited to share that the latest results from the Basepaws Feline Health History Questionnaire are in! For the past two years, amazing pet parents like you in our customer and/or citizen science research community have filled out this questionnaire to help us learn about your furry family members’ physical appearance, health, eating habits, behaviors, and more.

What would you do if some dark night, your beloved cat failed to come home? This truly is a cat parent’s worst nightmare. Some cats are prone to wander and might be alright, but should your cat go missing, having a clear, secure ID tag can help ensure their safe return. In honor of National Pet ID Week, we thought we would shine some light on how ID tags can keep your cat safe should they wander away, become disoriented and lost, or get picked up by a well-intentioned neighbor.

Kitchen and bathroom counters are among the favorite high places where our fabulous felines like to spend time. But why is it that cats like to climb and perch up high? We'll explain where your kitty's motivation comes from, and how to provide them with positive reinforcement that redirects their interest away from your kitchen counters to other places that provide them with the safety, vantage point, and enrichment they crave.
