December is National Cat Lovers' Month! This month is dedicated to loving and celebrating your cat’s existence (as if they don’t demand that every day of the year). Need some ideas on how to celebrate? We’ve got your covered!

  1. Make a COVID friendly visit to a cat café - Name a better way to relax than to grab a cup of coffee and spend some time with adoptable kitties. We’ll wait… :)
  2. Learn and share cat facts - Learning fun facts and sharing them with others is a great way to spread the love of cats. Did you know cats first went to space in 1963? Well now you do! 
  3. Make a COVID friendly visit to a shelter and play with the cats - Shelter cats waiting for their forever families are sometimes deprived of love and attention, so they could use some of your free time for their play time.
  4. Watch funny cat videos - There is no shortage of these on the internet!
  5. Groom your cat - Cats are pretty good at grooming themselves, but can sometimes use some extra help. Grooming your cat can strengthen the bond between human and pet as well as keep them healthy. Brushing them, trimming their nails, or brushing their teeth are all great ways to keep your kitty looking and feeling fresh.
  6. Play with your cat - Cats get bored easily. Playing with them is a positive way to release energy or aggression. Toys that bounce, jingle, are crinkly, or are filled with catnip are the perfect way to get your cat to play. Plus, playing is another great way to strengthen the bond between you and your cat!
  7. Donate or volunteer at a local animal shelter - Shelters usually need a hand in taking care of cats that are waiting for their forever homes. Different shelters have different needs. You can always call and ask what your local shelter needs or ask if they have an Amazon wishlist. When in doubt, donate Meowijuana toys!
  8. Snuggle with your cat - If they’ll allow it...
  9. Go for a walk with your cat - Grab a harness and take your kitty for a walk. Not only will this get your cat much needed exercise, but also you!
  10. Teach your cat a trick - We know you can teach dogs tricks, but did you know cats are great at learning new things too? Cats love to work for food, so teaching them tricks for treats is the perfect way to have some fun for both of you.

Tabby Cat Personality Traits

Tabby cats have a reputation for being the friendly everycat, but here's the wrinkle the folklore misses: tabby isn't a color, it's a pattern, and nearly every cat is secretly wearing it. What the stripes actually tell you, and what they never could.

How Much Catnip Can a Cat Have?

The practical questions nobody answers in one place: how much catnip per session, how often per week, how long the effects last, whether a cat can overdose (no, but there's a caveat), and when the jar in your cupboard stops working. All the numbers, none of the panic.

You bought the kitten a catnip toy and the kitten could not care less. Completely normal: the catnip response switches on with maturity, usually somewhere between three and six months. When to start, how to run the first test, and what actually works in the meantime.

Grey Cat Personality Traits

Grey cats carry one of the calmest reputations in the cat world: composed, even-keeled, quietly affectionate. Some of that is folklore, a lot of it is borrowed from three famous grey breeds, and none of it outranks the actual cat on your couch.
