My husband and I adopted our two Tabby kitties about 11 years ago when we were newly wed. We had purchased our first home together and wanted to share it. We couldn’t resist their personalities when we encountered them at the adoption center, and it was such a joy to fill our home with these beautiful creatures. For many years we spoiled them with fancy toys and accessories. At one point we even bought them harnesses to take them for walks outside! I guess you could say we were the crazy cat people…maybe we still are.
Even though they don’t get as much attention as they did before the kids came along, we still try our best to make them feel loved and well taken care of. Here are some tips to help you make your cat feel like he’s the center of your universe.
Cuddle him
My cats love to cuddle up on our laps. They’ll often seek us out once we have begun to wind down at the end of the day when we are finally sitting still. When your cat rubs up against you that’s his way of loving you and asking to be loved in return. Take the time to give them the attention they crave.
Keep his area clean
Cats don’t like smelly litter boxes any more than we do. We clean out their boxes several times per week using Tidy Cats® clumping litter which now feature guaranteed TidyLock™ Protection that locks away the odors that can lead to Stank Face. I love this new one featuring Glade for odor control.
Feed him well
The way to any animals heart is through his belly. Our cats are fed a diet of Fancy Feast dry cat food, and we treat them to their favorite Fancy Feast wet food for dinner. The Fancy Feast brand feels “love is in the details”- pamper your cat with delicious wet and dry food varieties specially formulated for your cat’s tastes.
Play with him
Cats love to play. We used to buy a bunch of expensive toys and devices to keep them entertained, but much like children their favorite toys are the boxes the toys come in. Pull a string around the house or even make a low-cost DIY cat toy and he’ll be happy as a clam.
It’s really that simple. Cats don’t need a lot of this and that. They are pretty low key and almost maintenance free. They just want your time and attention.
We find everything we need for our cats and our dog in the pet aisle at Stop & Shop. I love being able to get everything I need for the entire family, including our pets all in one store.
My cat ribs up against me for one reason only. He wants food.
I have 4 cats and use Tidy .cats clumping Litter, but I can only get it in the plastic jugs. I dislike adding to the plastic in our environment. Is it sold in cardboard boxes?
Omg aww!!! I have two fur babies!!! Fancy feast is my oldest cats favorite. She gets mad and can tell if you feed her anything else
You have adorable cats, makes me want one now! We’re a dog family presently but she acts somewhat catlike.
Your cat looks exactly like my cat!! In fact, I thought it WAS my cat! I love these tips.
Oh so cute. My kids are spoiled little felines. They are our babies, so we only buy them purina! Such a great brand.
Cuddling with your cats is a great way to make them feel loved. Plus giving them nice treats always makes them like you.
These are some great ways to make your cat feel loved. It is so important to get the right snacks and food for them as well as playing with them every day. Thanks for sharing the tips.
Yes! Good yummy food and lots of boxes is one sure way to always please the kitties. They are so stinking cute!
The cat cuddling is so freaking cute. They look like little models. They look happy, healthy and loved.
