🐾 Let’s get purr-sonal.
Cats are fascinating, mysterious, and sometimes a little confusing but understanding their behavior can help you care for them better.

Here are a few fun (and surprisingly important) things about your cat you might not know:

• Whiskers aren’t just cute — they help your cat sense their environment and even balance.
• Cats’ facial expressions can actually help veterinarians measure pain and discomfort.
• Grooming isn’t just about cleanliness — it helps reduce stress and regulate body temperature.
• Cats can hear far higher-pitched sounds than we can (and yes, that includes the can opener).
• Kneading means your cat feels safe and content — congrats, you’re doing something right.
• Many cats don’t drink enough water, which can affect their health over time.
• Cats can see in very low light, thanks to a special layer in their eyes.

From their senses to their emotional needs, getting to know your cat better helps you give them the happiest, healthiest life possible. 💛

Dr. Goodall was always such an inspiration for me growing up. That a young girl could have dreams and follow them, that we should take care of all of the animals, each other, and world we live in. Thank-you Jane, we will carry on your work.

With great sadness, the Jane Goodall Institute confirmed this morning the passing of the organization’s founder, Dr. Jane Goodall, age 91 who died peacefully in her sleep while in Los Angeles, CA for her speaking tour in the United States.

Dr. Goodall’s life and work not only made an indelible mark on our understanding of chimpanzees and other species, but also of humankind and the environments we all share. She inspired curiosity, hope and compassion in countless people around the world, and paved the way for many others — particularly young people who gave her hope for the future.

In 1960 Dr. Goodall established the longest running wild chimpanzee study in Gombe National Park, Tanzania which continues to this day. She pioneered and sustained the Jane Goodall Institute’s community-centered conservation initiatives across the chimpanzee range for over four decades. Her legacy includes the creation of JGI’s international environmental and humanitarian youth program Roots & Shoots, which is actively driving change in 75 countries and counting around the world.

The Jane Goodall Institute is incredibly grateful to all our supporters, partners, and friends, especially during this difficult time. To add a personal remembrance of Dr. Goodall and continue her legacy for future generations, please visit JaneGoodall.org/RememberingJane
