Read on for\nsome fun ideas to show your cute and curious kitty just how special they are to\nyou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.\nLearn how to properly trim your kitty\u2019s claws.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping\nyour cat\u2019s nails nice and trim is important for many reasons. Reducing the\nnail\u2019s sharp point can help prevent painful, broken claws or keep your cat from\ngetting caught up in the carpet or your clothing. If you have a cat who likes\nto knead you \u2013 and push pointy tips into your skin \u2013 save yourself some pain by\nnipping the tips! Clipping your cat\u2019s nails can be a daunting experience, but\nit doesn\u2019t have to be. Talk to a vet or look online for some resources to help\nmake nail clipping time more enjoyable for you and your cat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.\nGet your four-legged friend a new bed or heating pad.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everyone\nknows cats love to snooze \u2013 and they usually like to find the warmest place in\nthe home to doze off. Enjoy your cat\u2019s heat-seeking nature with a new bed or\nheating pad. Place the new bed in a sunny windowsill so your cat can soak up\nsome sun while drifting off. Is sun scarce in your home? Buy kitty a pet-safe\nheating pad so she can enjoy some heat while inside \u2013 especially during the\ncolder months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3.\nRe-evaluate how you feed and hydrate your cat.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have\nyou ever heard of whisker fatigue? This can occur when food and water bowls\npush back on your cat\u2019s whiskers, resulting in pain for your cat when he eats\nand drinks. Did you know cats don\u2019t their food and water to be near each other?\nRe-evaluating how you feed and hydrate your cat is the perfect way to show your\npet some extra love. Purchasing a water fountain and anti-whisker fatigue bowl\nis the perfect way to solve your cat\u2019s eating and drinking issues. Place them\non opposite sides of the room so your cat can drink and nosh comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4.\nShow your cat you understand her by catering to her natural instincts.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cats are natural-born explorers, and that\u2019s one of the reasons we love them so much! No cabinet or mantle is safe from the curious antics of your brave little house panther. Cats also love to climb, scratch and hide. Keep your cat engaged and indulge her curious instincts with a new climbing tree, scratching post or hiding spot! Cats like to be up high, and a climbing tree is a great way to keep them comfortable and entertained. Cats also need to scratch to keep themselves healthy! Help your cat stay happy and keep your furniture safe with a new place for kitty to dig her claws into. Does your cat like to stalk or watch you from afar? Get her a cardboard box so she has her very own enclosed space to survey her kingdom from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.\nMake an emergency plan.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many families have plans in place in case of a fire or natural disaster. Does your plan include your cat? It\u2019s important you know what you\u2019re going to do if disaster strikes \u2013 you don\u2019t want to leave your feline friend behind. This is especially important if you have multiple cats. Make a plan and practice it out. Pretend there\u2019s a fire and practice loading up your cat, or cats, into a carrier and getting them out of the house. Do you live in an area that can be hit by a tornado or hurricane? Prepare by putting your cats in their carriers and taking them to your safe space. You never know when something bad can happen \u2013 show your cat some love by including them in your emergency plans. 

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
