Dear Pebbles,

I can’t seem to get a good photograph of my cat, Purrito. He is cute as a button but whenever I try to take a photo of him he looks down, or away, or rolls over and starts licking his tushy. The only good photographs I ever get of him are when he is sleeping. What should I do?

Defeated

Dear Pebbles,

My cat, Ferrari, is very fond of tearing around the house late at night. He sleeps all day and then, just as I am turning off the light and snuggling into bed, he starts creating all sorts of havoc: Racing up and down the stairs; knocking vases off tables; playing with the venetian blinds.

Spectator

Dear Pebbles,

My cat, Jello, has a penchant for boxes and other containers – washing baskets, shopping bags and suitcases. As soon as one appears, Jello can be found sitting in it. Why is that?

Puzzled

Dear Pebbles,

I am having a problem with my cat, Chompers. He has a foot fetish. When I am pottering around the house, he will launch at me from under the couch and nip at my feet. He sometimes attacks my toes when I’m lying in bed.

Dear Pebbles,

Christmas is my favourite time of the year! I decorate my house with tinsel, drape fairy-lights over the trees in the garden, send out glittery cards, and count the days down on the advent calendar until the whole family arrives for feasting and movie marathons until late into the evening. But what should I do about my cat, Frisbee?

Ever wondered how cats really feel about their own hairballs? Pebbles the agony-uncle-cat of The Divine Feline has the answers.
