We live in a sound bite, technological world where Google and social media is our go-to resource for everything under the sun. We have a tendency to believe what we read or hear and the more outrageous the headline, tweet, or status update, the better. Perfect example – the headline that keeps re-circulating in mainstream media over and over – that cats are responsible for killing billions of birds a year. The problem?

When it comes to cats, they are all wonderfully unique, but there are some habits or characteristics attributed to them that most of us can relate too in one degree or another when it comes to our own feline babies.
