Purring indicates happiness in your cat. Celebrating your partnership with your cat will enhance both your and their lives.

Catnip is a favorite of cats. Kitties love this plant, which comes from the Labiatae. The buds are infused with an oil called Nepetalatone, which evokes feline behavior. Some of the things you can do are to rub your chin and cheeks, roll and kick, or leap into the air. It encourages healthy play, which is good for the child’s health. You can either grow your own or buy a bag. You’ll get a stronger product if you choose organic. This treat will make your cat very happy.

Scientists have reported that people who pet their cat experience an increase in Theta wave patterns, which are brainwave patterns that reduce feelings of hysteria. Even a few minutes of petting your cat releases positive hormones such as Dopamine and Oxytocin. The positive feelings are beneficial to both you and your cat. Your stress will be melted away by their soft fur, gentle vibrations and happy purr. You can cause your cat to receive mini-shocks if you have a lot of electricity in the house. Try massaging your cat instead if this happens.

Cats like occasional solitude. They don’t have to be with you all the time. It’s important to recharge by spending time alone. Give yourself 5 minutes a day of solitude. It’s okay if your cat joins, but don’t let any other distractions like phones or people distract you.

A cat’s tail can be used as a mood indicator. Walking with your head slightly up shows confidence. The tail flicking toward you is a sign of “Hello my friend”. Whipping it from side to side, or thumping on the floor indicates agitation. A tail that is lightly twitching conveys alertness, while a tail that is pumped up indicates total freight.

Play regularly with your cat. The most active times for kittens and young cats are at dawn and at dusk. They’re genetically wired to do their best play stalking and hunting during these times. Then, get your cat’s attention by buying some Peacock Feathers and tying them to an adjustable pole. Feathers can be a difficult temptation to resist. Your cat will be performing acrobatics, running and jumping to catch the feathers.

Weekly, give your cat a good hand-petting. Examine their body for lumps, bumps or sores. Also, look out for changes in the fur or skin. You’ll learn a lot about your cat’s health the more you do this. Confirm that you have checked their ears, eyes, and mouth. This will help you to better understand your cat so that you can catch a drag earlier.

Since your cat was a kitten, why not pamper it every day? Warm up a small blanket in the clothes dryer for 5-10 minutes and drape it over your pet during cold nights. You can do the same for an arthritic pet to help improve blood flow and relieve muscle pain. You can also buy heated beds.

Fill the litter box up to three inches deep. Avoid using perfumed litter. Most cats dislike floral scents. Boxes should be cleaned every day, and washed once a week with soapy warm water. Let it dry. Never put the box next to their water or food bowls. Kitties will not eat near their bathroom.

Sprinkle a teaspoonful of Kelp Powder over your cat’s food. Try mixing a Lecithin capsule with their food. Both can help your cat’s metabolism and breakdown of fats. If your cat is a carnivore, it will benefit from real meat topping the list of ingredients in its food bowl. Choose cat food brands that have real meat as the first ingredient. Examples include turkey, lamb, or chicken. Avoid cat food brands that list grains or cornmeal first. Add a splash or two of salt-free, tuna juice to your cat’s dry food for a tasty treat. These special treats and aromas may make your cat spend extra time grooming after meals. Give your cat some yogurt if you are a fan. One tablespoon of plain, low-fat yogurt per day will provide calcium and “good” bacteria. It also provides a little extra liquid.

Last but not least, place your cat’s bed close to a heat source. Place your cat’s bed near a window, a fire or a heat vent. Spend some time with your sleeping friend, and also take the opportunity to relax. It’s good for your soul!
