If you are a cat owner, I bet you are doing a great job keeping your cat happy. I adore my Hazel Fantazel the fattest cat in the world and Meap a Leap, her much thinner sister. We have watched them grow over the past 2 years and they have brought us a lot of joy. I think it is only fitting to find ways I can keep them happy as well. I have a new kitten, Fisher. He is a very curious cat! He is a special sort of breed, part Burmese and part Bengal. Since he is a special member of our family, I want to do everything I can to keep him happy, after all he likes to walk in the water!
Keeping Your Cat Happy
Litter Box: Make sure your little box is big enough for them to freely use the bathroom. Many people buy the litter containers with lids and this is a no-no. Cats do not like to be closed in while using the bathroom, so a lid should not be used. I bought a large under the bed plastic storage container to give both cats plenty of space to do their business. Make sure you keep your litter box clean every day or you may find some unpleasant surprises on the floor! Also, make sure the litter is unscented and clumping little is the best for your cat as well as yourself. Cat‘s Pride has a top secret “cat-mercial” coming out this month to show how ~genius~ the product is. They even got a cat to wear a lab coat. You can learn more here! I find the litter is lightweight, easy to clean & Fisher has no problems doing his business.
Provide Proper Equipment: Cats need their claws and they need to scratch. Contrary to what some think, scratching is actually a good thing. When you kitty scratches, they are showing they are happy and content. If they scratch while you are near-by, they are telling you that you make them feel happy. Give the cats a sturdy place to scratch or they will go for the furniture every time! Find a nice and sturdy place for your cat to hide. Cats are notorious for wanting to be alone, so you need to provide them a place they can feel safe doing so.
