My cat never

meows. Is that

normal?

— LINDSEY, 10, FL

Eating grass can be normal for

some dogs. Your guess is as good

as mine as to why they do this!

Sometimes, dogs who have an

upset tummy will eat grass to help

them feel better.

Thanks for your question, Ryder! It canbe

normal to have clear water run from your

pet’s nose. Dogs can’t sweat so they use

their nose to evaporate

heat! If it’s thick or

colored,thatisn’t

normalandI

recommend

you take

your dogto

a vet.

Yes, that can be totally

normal! Some cats are

vocal, whereas other cats

are quiet (just like different

personalities in humans!).

Cats can meow for

a variety of reasons,

including asking for food,

attention or stress. The

fact that your cat doesn’t

meow could mean all of

its needs are being met!
