Fun fact. Fun fact about... Some cats react to olives the same way they do to catnip! That’s because olives contain oleuropein, a compound that can trigger a euphoric response in some cats. No salt or brine because it will hurt their kidneys though!

There’s something about animals that softens us. Dogs remind us to live in the moment. Cats teach us to honour our boundaries. And somehow, in their quiet presence, we feel more human—more connected, more kind.

Dogs pull us into the present. Cats remind us to protect our peace. And science agrees—being with them reduces cortisol, eases anxiety, and boosts oxytocin, the “bonding hormone.” In their quiet company, we feel more connected—to ourselves, to others, to life.

Thinking of bringing a cat into your dog-loving home (or the other way around)? It can work—and it can be magical.

Tips for a smooth intro:

Go slow – Start with scent swaps before face-to-face meetings.

Safe spaces – Give your cat vertical and quiet places to escape to.

Supervise early meetings – Keep initial greetings short, positive, and controlled.

Positive reinforcement – Treats and praise for calm behavior go a long way.

Respect their pace – Some become besties, others coexist peacefully. Both are wins!

Why it’s worth it?
Cats and dogs together can balance each other’s energy. They learn from each other, keep each other company, and bring double the love to your home.
