Moving
Moving with your pet
Moving is not only stressful for humans, it can also be tough on your pets. Both dogs and cats are sensitive to changes in their environment and can show stress-related behaviors at moving time. Understanding what your pet is experiencing can help you help your pet to cope.
Cats and catnip
If you have a cat, there's a good chance you've witnessed firsthand one of the great feline mysteries known as the "catnip response." When presented with the leaves of Nepatia cataria, most domestic cats will engage in a variety of behaviors — including chin rubbing, rhythmic kicking with their back feet, sniffing, licking and chewing the plant, and rolling onto their sides. The reaction can last from about 5 to 15 minutes, after which point the cat will lose interest and walk away.
