Adopting a kitten does not come with instructions on how to treat cats with love. How then do you express your love for your cats? Seek out the most effective ways to express your love and affection for your kitties as a conscientious cat owner.
Give Special Attention to Cats
Any one or all of the following, along with a plethora of additional components unique to your beloved feline friends, may require special attention. It could just be sharing a pillow on the bed at night or spending every evening curled up on one’s lap. A cat’s loving stare from across the room while you sit quietly speaks volumes.
Cats Enjoy Being Massaged
Merely petting your cat from nose to tail provides a holistic, stress-relieving massage that lowers both your and your cat’s blood pressure. Pay particular attention to the areas under his cheeks and at the base of his tail that he prefers. In addition to providing comfort, touching, petting, and massaging your cat helps to detect any fur mats, lumps or bumps, or sores that might require medical attention.
Use Training to Love Your Cats Out of Boredom
These days, cats hardly ever work for a living. A great deal of them are completely bored. Thus, we are left with stir-crazy cats that, among other things, pick fights with each other, swing from the drapes, experiment with gravity by using small breakables from the mantel, claw and saturate furniture with urine, and more.
Consider training as a form of entertainment, enjoyment, challenge, and a chance to recognize and honor your pets’ innate abilities while helping them reach their greatest potential.
Cat Interaction
Discover the meaning behind your cat’s meows, tail, ears, and other cues. When you try to tell someone something and they ignore you, how does that make you feel? When you respond to your cat’s language in a way that is appropriate for them, they will purr back to you, knowing that you love them.
Grooming Cats
Cats groom themselves for half of their waking lives. While some people overgroom, most require assistance to remain well-groomed. In addition to providing an all-over massage-like sensation, the comb/brush also minimizes fur balls, keeps the skin and fur free of matting, and fosters a stronger bond between you and your cat.
Appropriate Starts
Being accustomed to their surroundings, cats may start to doubt your love when a new pet joins the household.
Cat Candy
Since all animals must eat, treats are a great way to show your pets that you “love” them. Even though cats have different tastes, you can usually find something that they adore. Tiny, stinky, unusual (different from the usual fare), and rare (makes it special) are the characteristics of the ideal treat.
Catnip
Many cats get a pick-me-up and enjoy the “high” that this harmless herb provides. Catnip and a unique toy together make for an extremely entertaining pet. If you give cats lots of affection and catnip, they will return the favor.
Playing Cats
Every animal has a preferred game. Playing interactive games strengthens your relationship, gives timid pets more self-assurance, and calms down some hyperactive pet annoyances.
Some cats prefer puzzle toys with hidden treats inside because it exercises their nose, teeth, and brain. Cat gyms that offer places to hide, climb, and claw are a hit with active cats. For many cats, cheap thrills come from empty paper bags or a wad of paper thrown into an empty bathtub.
Reduction of Stress
A great deal of cats get tangled up in changes to their environment. Enhancing the surroundings with cat trees, placing a bird feeder outside a window perch, or just turning on calming music all make a big difference.
