Veterinarians know things. They know the right way to introduce dogs to each other, what to do in a furry emergency, and what make a kitty “giggle”. Check out this article to see how one veterinarian address these topics.
Maya Deren and Alexander Hammid were a husband and wife team that made experimental films in the 1940s together. While most of their films were about serious topics, they made this fantastic film about The Private Life of Cats. It is somewhat graphic in parts (the birth of a litter of kittens), but it documents what it is to be a cat.
