Cats have many wonderful qualities that make them beloved and popular pets. Kitties are cute, lovable, and clean. They are also quite easy to care for. Providing Fluffy with food and water, a clean litterbox, and regular veterinary care will cover her most essential needs. However, many of us like to go above and beyond these basics, and pamper our pets a bit. Spoiling Fluffy may be easier than you think! In this article, an Oshawa, ON vet list some easy ways to activate the purr.

Window Seats

Our feline friends love birdwatching. Offer your kitty a comfy spot where she can observe birds and squirrels and fantasize about being a ferocious predator. Live entertainment can keep your furry little voyeur amused for hours!

Playtime

Take time to play with your cat every day. The exercise will be great for your furball physically. Keeping your cat active will also help prevent the dreaded midnight zoomies, which is the technical term for Fluffy’s love of batting squeaky toys around in the middle of the night, when you’re trying to sleep.

Conversation

Did you know that talking to your cat is good for both you and her? Fluffy will know you’re trying to communicate with her, even if the only things she understands are her name and the phrase ‘Get down from there.’ She may even answer back with an adorable meow. Even cats that aren’t chatty will benefit from the attention. And as for you, well, let’s just say our feline friends make great listeners!

Napping Spots

As you have probably noticed, our feline friends are quite fond of napping. Fluffy can sleep up to 20 hours a day! Keep your sleepy pet comfortable and happy by offering her lots of cozy spots to snuggle up in. Pet beds are a great option, but even a folded-up blanket will serve. You get extra points for putting at least one of your kitty’s beds in a sunbeam.

Veterinary Care

We know, visiting us is probably not one of Fluffy’s favorite things to do. However, she will be much happier if she is in good health! Coming to see is in her best interests, even if she isn’t exactly thrilled about it. Do you have any questions or concerns about your cat’s health? We’re here to help!
