Why Does My Cat Chew on Soft Things and How Can I Stop It?
Hi everyone—I've noticed my cat has started chewing on extra-soft or fragile surfaces like paper towels and lightweight toys, especially when he's bored. Has anyone experienced this? What did you try that actually helped redirect this behavior? Would love any suggestions or product recommendations!

How to proceed with a new kitten?
We should only go ahead with the blanket swap procedure if we're confident that the new kitten is negative for panleuk, as it's highly contagious, correct? Do the vaccines eliminate the virus completely, or is there a possibility that it can 'hide' or 'move' within the cat? If the kitten has been te...
