1. Play with Your Cat Daily Cats need mental stimulation and physical activity to stay healthy and happy. Set aside time each day to engage your cat in interactive play using toys they can chase, pounce on, and bat around.
2. Provide Vertical Spaces Cats love to climb and perch up high to survey their territory. Offer plenty of vertical spaces like cat trees, shelves, and window perches that allow your feline friend to explore different levels of their environment
3. Keep the Litter Box Clean Cats are very clean animals and prefer a spotless litter box. Scoop waste at least once a day and completely change the litter regularly.
4. Brush Your Cat Regularly Brushing helps remove loose hair and distribute skin oils for a healthy coat. It's also a great bonding activity.
5. Respect Their Space Cats like to have their own territory, so respect when your cat is in their "safe space" like a box or cat bed. Don't disturb them when they are resting or hiding.
6. Provide Scratching Posts Scratching is a normal behavior that helps cats remove the dead outer layer of their claws. Provide acceptable scratching surfaces like posts, pads, or trees to save your furniture.
By providing enrichment, cleanliness, safety, and veterinary care, you'll show your cat you have their best interests at heart.
