5 Ways To Pamper Your Cat


Cats are the divas of the pet world. They are one of the most royal pets. They deserve all the pampering and attention to ensure they are in optimal health and comfort. Oftentimes, our busy schedules don't allow us to pamper our feline friends as much as we would like. Still, we must make the most of the time at hand to give our furry friends some tender love and care. If you're wondering how you can shower your cat with love, here are five full-proof ways that are certain to work!

Safe Toys

Toys are an important part of any cat's life. They keep them engaged, active and healthy. Cats have a natural predatory instinct. Hence it is important to invest in toys that cater to their instincts and satisfies their natural tendencies within the four walls of your home. At the same time, it is important to ensure that the toys you buy for your cat are safe in all aspects. Common dangers with toys include choking hazards, dust collection and sharp edges. Avoid plastic toys that are easily dismantled into smaller pieces, as this can be a choking hazard for cats. Soft toys are a favourite for all animals as it gives them a sense of comfort. Avoid toys that have protrusions or sharp edges, as your unassuming pet can end up suffering serious injuries from them. Blunt toys made of wood, bamboo or any natural material are ideal entertainment investments for cats that last for years. Scratching boards, busy boards, treat poppers and musical toys never go wrong with your furry friend.

Give Your Time & Attention

There's nothing more your cat wants than to be pampered and loved by you. If you want your cat to be happy and content, make sure you pamper her with oodles of time with you. Yes, you read that right. Cats, just like all pets, need plenty of reassurance and love. So, when you find yourself having time on hand, spend time doing things she likes like curling up with her, going outdoors for a walk or taking her to her favourite spa. With the number of new-age ways to groom a cat, there's no dearth of how you can make your cat feel loved and pampered!

Cat Enclosure

An outdoor cat enclosure is one of the most useful and safe cat accessories to have in your home. If you have a large backyard, consider investing in a spacious cat enclosure to allow your cat to enjoy outdoor time to the fullest. A cat enclosure is an outdoor sanctuary that keeps your cat engaged and active. Opt for one with a ramp for plenty of climbing and jumping, both of which are natural to feline behaviour. A big cat enclosure with a mesh wire ensures your cat enjoys plenty of sunlight and fresh air while being safe and constrained in a particular area throughout. A cat enclosure with multiple doors promises easy accessibility and visibility even when you are at a distance. It also helps you easily reach your cat when she is in distress. Go for an enclosure with a thick asphalt roof for all-weather protection. A well-structured cat enclosure with plenty of space is sure to get your cat's favourite abode!

Pet Facebook

Everybody needs a friend - including your cat! Get your feline friend's social life up and running with Catbook, a one-of-a-kind application that caters to your cat's social and physiological needs. Use this app to find other cat parents in the vicinity. Set up playdates, create fun photo grids and let your cat bite into the social media pie! This app is extremely useful in alerting your friends on important dates, events abs activities! It also lets you send out messages on your missing cat should she wander away a little too far. This app is a boon for those who love pampering their cat!

Right Nutrition

A happy, well-fed cat is akin to a pampered cat. Give your cat plenty of age-appropriate nutrition in the form of food and liquids. A growing kitten requires the right nutrition composition that is very different from the typical diet of a senior cat. Avoid giving kittens regular cat food, as it may cause indigestion and serious health problems. Onions, garlic, sweets, raw meat and raw eggs are a strict no-no for cats of any age. Bread, grapes, nuts and raisins can choke cats and must be avoided at all costs. Many pet owners often use cat food and dog food interchangeably. This is a grave mistake that can cost your cat her health. Talk to a vet about tips to choosing an optimal diet suiting your cat's age and build. Also, discuss optimal quantities to ensure you don't overfeed or underfeed your cat. Overfeeding your cat can lead to her throwing up, which can eventually result in dehydration.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
