  A scratched sofa, a fraying rug, a favourite armchair under attack… Living with a cat often means facing this challenge — especially if you value a well-kept, thoughtfully designed home.

Here’s how to respect your cat’s instinct while protecting...

  Positive training: why punishment never works (and what to do instead)

  Posted in: Our World

  When an animal displays behaviour that bothers us — chewing, destruction, house soiling, or what we interpret as “disobedience” — the instinct may be to correct it. Raising our voice, isolating the animal, scolding… or reacting abruptly in the heat of the moment. These responses are often driven by frustration or concern. Yet behavioural science and learning theory are clear: punishment does not teach the desired behaviour. It may interrupt an action temporarily, but it does not build lasting...

  Garden and rabbits: which plants are safe to feed?

  Posted in: Our World, Rabbits: Care, Nutrition and Well-Being

  Having a garden often makes people want to share nature’s freshness with their rabbit: freshly picked leaves, crunchy branches, plants straight from the garden.It feels instinctive and well intentioned. However, when it comes to rabbit nutrition, “natural” does not automatically mean “safe”. Rabbits have a very specific digestive system, perfectly adapted to a fibre-rich diet, but also extremely sensitive to imbalance.

  Posted in: Our World

  Stress, fatigue, joy, sadness… We all experience a wide range of emotions, sometimes intensely. And many animal guardians have had this striking feeling: “My animal can sense it.”A dog becoming more clingy during an emotional low, a cat withdrawing when the atmosphere feels tense, a horse reacting more nervously on stressful days — coincidence, or genuine emotional sensitivity?

  Posted in: Our World, Dogs: Care, Training, Health and Well-Being

  A toy is one of the very first objects placed between a puppy’s paws — and, above all, between its teeth. It accompanies early discoveries, soothes teething discomfort, helps channel energy and contributes to emotional balance. Yet not all toys are created equal, and a poor choice can sometimes lead to frustration, boredom… or minor accidents.

  Is My Animal Happy? The True Indicators of Well-Being… and the Misleading Signs

  Posted in: Our World

  We like to believe that our animals are happy. Because they eat well. Because they sometimes play. Because they curl up next to us. But animal well-being cannot be reduced to the absence of illness or a handful of “cute” behaviours. Dogs, cats, rabbits and horses: each species expresses comfort, discomfort or contentment in its own way — often subtly, sometimes in ways that are easy to misinterpret. Some signals we instinctively see as positive may in fact conceal stress, boredom or forced...
