If you have a cat in your home, you probably know what they like and don’t like. Here you will find 5 things that most cats love and that you should take to heart with your velvet paw if you haven’t tried them yet.
A cat is more roommate than a pet – the furry friends have their own feline personality and so some cats love things that others don’t. Therefore, the following points do not apply to every cat, but they do apply to most.
Respect the Customs
Cats are creatures of habit – they love familiar processes and usually react angrily when something unexpected happens. Respect cat habits, such as feeding times, to which your pet has become firmly established. You’re doing it a favor.
Ensure a Clean Environment
Cats are very clean animals that attach great importance to hygiene. So make sure you keep important items like the food bowl or litter box clean. Especially a clean toilet is very important for velvet paws. Remove the droppings and clumps of litter daily with a shovel and replace the litter about twice a week. Every two weeks, the litter box should also be completely cleaned and the tub rinsed out, preferably with a mild, odorless detergent.
Grooming is Soul Care
Most cats love to be brushed. Take your time and see if your cat is enjoying it. Important: If you brush or stroke your cat, you should always do so with the line – i.e. in the direction of hair growth – never against it. Otherwise, it will be very uncomfortable for your pet. A positive side effect of grooming: You also care for the cat’s skin, reduce hairballs, and can check whether fleas or ticks have nested in the fur.
Fun & Games
Fun and games are the essential basic ingredients for a happy cat life – along with around a thousand other things, of course. In any case, engage with your cat regularly and frequently, offer its fun, excitement, novelty, and also plenty of opportunities for solo activity. Objects such as a scratching post or a fiddle board should be basic utensils in every cat household. When it comes to games, you should always ensure that there is enough variety.
Catnip For the Senses
Cats love catnip. The plant usually has a beguiling effect on fur noses and is a real intoxicating herb without being dangerous. When you give your cat catnip, you are making her happy.
