Why do cats chirp?

Cats chirp — also called chattering or chittering — as a short, high-pitched burst of sound triggered by focused excitement, usually when they spot prey like a bird outside the window.

What cat chirping usually means:
- Excitement or frustration while watching prey they can't reach
- A possible attempt to mimic bird calls as a hunting strategy
- Friendly greeting or attention-seeking toward you
- Play mode — many cats chirp mid-pounce at a toy

Is it normal? Yes. Chirping is a healthy part of a cat's vocal range, and kittens do it too. But if the chirping is persistent and paired with stress signals or other behavior changes, it's worth a vet visit.

Best way to respond: give them something to hunt — a prey-like toy, dedicated play time, and a window with a good view.

Dogs sleep a lot—but how much sleep is actually normal?

The answer depends on their age, breed, activity level, and overall health. While puppies and senior dogs often need more rest, a sudden increase in sleep or changes in your dog's energy could be a sign that something isn't right.
Knowing the difference between normal napping and a potential health concern can help you catch problems early and keep your pup feeling their best.

Read our latest blog to learn:
• How many hours of sleep dogs really need
• When extra sleep is completely normal
• Signs it's time to schedule a veterinary visit

When a dog destroys everything, the cause usually falls into one of three categories: intense boredom (a need for activity), panic when left alone (a need for security, often seen as dog destructive behavior when left alone), or a natural instinct to chew or dig without a proper outlet. Identifying the driving need is the key to finding the right solution, especially if dog anxiety destructive behavior is part of the picture.

As a devoted pet parent, you know that keeping your furry best friend hydrated is a top priority, especially during the sweltering summer months or after a rigorous game of fetch. But sometimes, plain water just isn’t enough to replenish what your dog has lost. You might find yourself wondering, "can dogs have electrolytes?”

Did you know?!

Unlike us (and even dogs), cats are missing the taste receptor gene that allows them to detect sweet flavors. As true carnivores, their taste buds are designed to help them seek out protein instead.

Understanding how your cat experiences the world can help you make informed choices about their nutrition and keep them happy and healthy!
