THROUGH FELINE EYES
What Cats Mean • They can’t speak words, but your beloved companions use their vocalizations, expressions and every part of their body to tell you what they want, what they need and how they feel.
FEELING IT • CATS MAY NOT HAVE DOGS’ ABILITY TO WEAR THEIR HEARTS BLATANTLY ON THEIR FACES, BUT IF YOU LEARN TO READ SUBTLE FACIAL SIGNS AND A LEGION OF OTHER BODILY TELLS, THEY’RE NOT SO INSCRUTABLE AFTER ALL.
CHATTY CATS • IS YOUR PET VOCAL OR QUIET? THE EXPLANATION COULD BE IN THEIR GENES.
Your Cat Might Understand More Than You Realize • DO YOU THINK YOUR CAT KNOWS WHAT YOU’RE SAYING? NEW SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE SUGGESTS YOU’RE PROBABLY RIGHT.
DOES YOUR CAT ACT OR REACT • IF YOUR FELINE SPENDS HER DAYS IN HIDING, SHE’S NOT JUST BEING MYSTERIOUS. VETERINARY BEHAVIORISTS SAY IT’S OFTEN A CRY FOR HELP—FROM FEAR, ILLNESS OR EMOTIONAL OVERLOAD. HERE’S HOW TO COAX HER BACK INTO THE LIGHT.
Social Animals • Cats have traveled alongside us for thousands of years, giving us comfort, companionship and love—as long as we love them back.

VIVE LA DIFFERENCE • CATS, DOGS AND PEOPLE HAVE SOME DEFINITIVE VARIATIONS FROM ONE ANOTHER IN HOW THEY THINK, FEEL AND SENSE THINGS. YET THEY HAVE MANAGED TO COMMUNICATE AND COEXIST THROUGH THE MILLENNIA.
Caregiving Cats • NEW RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT SOME FELINES MAY BE AS GOOD AS DOGS AT ANIMAL-ASSISTED THERAPY.
LANGUAGE OF LOVE

Feline Mystique • One thing we love about cats is the legacy of their past—their independence and mystery, and the almost supernatural abilities they developed to survive as loners in the wild.
The Uniqueness of ORANGE • FOR CENTURIES, GINGER CATS CARRIED AN AIR OF MYSTERY. NOW, SCIENCE HAS CRACKED THE CODE, REVEALING THE MUTATION THAT EXPLAINS THEIR RARITY—AND THEIR ALLURE.
The Color Question
SOMETHING WILD • HYBRID WILDCAT-DOMESTIC CATS HAVE BECOME ALL THE RAGE FOR THOSE WHO CRAVE THE EXOTIC, BUT IS BRINGING ONE OF THESE COMBO KITTIES INTO YOUR HOME REALLY DOING YOU OR THE CAT A FAVOR?
Make It Stop • The founder and CEO of Big Cat Rescue says that breeding exotics is inhumane.
