Is your dog keeping you up at night with non-stop barking? 🐶🌙 Whether it’s wildlife outside, noisy neighbors, or something more serious like pain or anxiety, there’s usually a reason behind those midnight outbursts ➡️ https://catanddoghouse.com/why-dogs-bark-at-night/

Sudden biting could signal pain. Dental disease, skin irritation, arthritis, or injuries can all make cats lash out. If behavior changes abruptly, a vet check is essential #cats #catsef="/hashtag/catsofbluesky" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#catsofbluesky ⬇️

If your dog reacts out of nowhere… they probably have a good reason. We just haven’t spotted it yet. 🐾

Studies show dogs truly grieve the loss of a companion — not just a housemate, but a friend and source of comfort. Their quiet sadness reminds us how deep their emotional bonds run, and that they need time to heal, just like we do #dogs

Sometimes, comfort is in your hands. 🫶
Gentle petting, massage, or just sitting nearby can release oxytocin—the “bonding hormone”—and calm anxiety. Watch your dog’s cues #dogs #dogsef="/hashtag/dogsofbluesky" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#dogsofbluesky ⬇️

In a survey of 260 cat owners, aggression was more common in homes where punishment was used. But in homes with enrichment and positive reinforcement, cats were significantly calmer and less aggressive ➡️ https://catanddoghouse.com/what-does-science-say-about-cats/

Dogs often mirror their owners’ emotions. When we’re visibly grieving, they may become quieter or withdrawn, as if sharing in our sadness — a reflection of their deep empathy and connection #dogs

Aggression isn’t a default for dogs—it’s often a last resort. Studies on free-ranging dogs show they’d much rather avoid conflict, and communicate through deference and calm signals.
But pet dogs don’t always have that same freedom #dogs #dogsef="/hashtag/dogsofbluesky" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#dogsofbluesky

Ever feel like your cat is always following you around? 👣🐾 Research shows that adult cats form real emotional bonds with their humans. In fact, studies reveal that over 65% of cats have a secure attachment style, meaning they feel safe and connected to you.

Cats not handled during the crucial 2–7 week kitten window may grow up less trusting of humans. Biting in these cases often comes from uncertainty or self-protection #cats #catsef="/hashtag/catsofbluesky" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link">#catsofbluesky ⬇️

Cats thrive when they have quiet places to nap. Add beds to window ledges, shelves, or tucked-away corners to give your cat choices for rest and solitude #cats

Rehoming a cat isn’t just a change of address — it’s a total emotional upheaval. 😿 For many cats, leaving behind everything familiar can trigger fear, sadness, and anxiety. Some bounce back quickly. Others need time, space, and a lot of patience.

For some dogs, grief fades quickly after the loss of a companion— but not all recover fast. In a study, about one-quarter of owners saw changes lasting over six months, while others noticed improvement after two to six months #dogs
