Cats are puzzling little creatures: they would curl up by your side one minute then turn into hissing, scratching furballs the next. Still, we find it difficult to resist their charms despite their unpredictable quirks and notorious aloofness. We firmly believe that only a really coldhearted (or allergic) person would not warm up to a cat purring against her leg.

Now, cats may be more self-sufficient than our canine friends, but that doesn’t give you an excuse to let your pet be! As a responsible pet owner, it’s your duty to always look for ways to improve the welfare of your cat. Make 2013 a better year for your little ball of fur by following these pet resolutions.
