Cats are notoriously enigmatic. Our mysterious little beasties cuddle and purr one minute, and the next, they are territorial guardians spitting at our windows, or wild hunters slinking furtively through the underbrush. But a rising interest in what our feline friends do with their spare time has combined with ever-smaller bits of useful technology to create some answers – finally – for cat lovers of all kinds.

We all know that dogs have an amazing sense of smell.

hen you think about the faithful Labrador Retriever, you might think about their sweet, goofy expressions and lolling tongues, or how perfect they are with children, with other adults, with pretty much anyone, really: the classic, intelligent, loyal, family dog.
