Whisker Wednesday 🐈‍⬛ Why do cats slow blink?

👀 Have you ever noticed your cat staring at you, slowly blinking their eyes over and over? If so, you have a secure and strong bond with your cat!

💜Cats are inherently cautious creatures since their wild ancestors were both predator and prey. Closing their eyes opens them up to danger, so the choice to narrow their field of vision is their way of saying “I trust you and we are friends”. They also slow blink to show us that they aren’t a threat.

🧐A study done in 2020 even found that cats were more likely to approach a person that was slow blinking at them than someone with a straight face. This shows that our cats also perceive our slow blinks as a way to communicate that we are safe and trust them back. So if you haven’t already, start slow blinking at your cat!

I was honored to get some slow blinks from this typically shy gal 🤍

🐾 Breed Spotlight - Pomeranians 🐾 How cute is the smallest member of the pack?!

Poms are known for:
👜Being tiny (and in bags), weighing 3-7 lbs
☁️ The floof, aka their double coat
🦊 Their fox-like, adorable faces
🙅 Being stubborn & independent
🐕 Their “big dog” demeanor

Pomeranians were first registered to the AKC in the United States in 1980. A relatively recent addition, they instantly grew in popularity and have ranked in the top 25 most popular breeds in the US from 1988 to present.

Poms are classified as a toy breed due to their tiny size. Interestingly, they are also considered members of the Spitz family because they are descendants from the German Spitz! Because of this, Poms are vivacious and often act as vocal watchdogs to the home despite their tiny size. They are also known to be amazing companion dogs and incredibly loyal to their people.

Pomeranians were popularized in England by Queen Victoria. In 1893 she acquired what is said to be her favorite pet (of many!), Turi, a white Pomeranian. Her last request before passing away in January 1901 was for Turi to be laid in bed with her. 🤍

Meet a new member of the LPC pack, a beautiful German Shorthaired Pointer 🐾

GSPs are known for:
🧠 Eagerness to learn and high intelligence
🏃‍♀️High energy levels & exercise needs
👃 Highly attuned sense of smell
🪞 Their adorable & stately appearance
🐦‍⬛ Natural hunting instincts

GSPs were developed from German hunting dogs (or bird dogs) that had been influenced by Spanish Pointers and other native scent hounds. Later, with the addition of the English Foxhound and English Pointers, the GSP developed into a distinct breed known for its scenting abilities and as a versatile hunting dog.

The first GSP was registered by the German Kennel Club 154 years ago, and his name was Hecktor I. Hecktor was liver & white just like the pup pictured. 🤍

🐈‍⬛ Whisker Wednesday 🐾 For the crazy cat folks!

Why do our cats LOVE catnip!? 😻

House cats aren’t the only ones going crazy for catnip, big cats have similar reactions - rolling, pawing, vocalizing and generally going a little nuts. 🤪

Researchers found that the compound Nepatalactone, that’s in both catnip & silvervine, was not only was attractive to felines, but caused them to release endorphins when they interacted with it.

Endorphins are the “happy hormone”, and can relieve pain and stress. They also generally make our cats feel calm and happy.

Interestingly, the same compound was found to be an effective insect repellent! Researchers discovered that rolling, rubbing, and pawing at the catnip caused the plants to release even more Nepatalactone - aka more natural bug repellent. They hypothesize that the insect repellent properties are the primary reason wild cats interact with these plants. P

So next time you give kitty catnip & they start to roll in it, you’ll know they’re channeling their wild ancestors (and feeling pretty good while doing it).

I love to incorporate catnip with my own cats & while pet sitting! It’s a cheap and easy way to provide enrichment for our cats.
