Do your New Year’s resolutions include your cat? This year, establish some new healthy and beneficial habits that not only prioritize your well-being but also amplify your cat’s health and happiness! Here are several cat-friendly New Year’s resolutions to adopt for 2023!
Work Hard, Play Harder
Prioritizing playtime with your cat offers several unparalleled benefits. Playtime allows your cat to engage in their natural hunting behavior while also strengthening your bond. Simple games such as laser chasing or mouse toys will keep your cat entertained and happy. Playtime also relieves stress for your furry companion, challenges their mind, and ensures they get their energy out in a healthy way!
Prioritize a Clean Litter Box
Cats have a tendency to urinate or defecate outside of their litter box when it is not cleaned to their standards. Avoid the strain of a smelly, messy home by ensuring their litter box is cleaned adequately daily. If the hassle of scooping the litter box is not something you can commit to doing daily, consider an automated or robotic litter box to ensure a clean space for your feline friend!
Banish Boredom
Eliminate the restlessness that often results in your cat tearing up your furniture by adding some practical cat furniture to your home. A cat tree where your cat can climb and scratch as much as they desire is an excellent way to ensure your furniture stays intact while providing a release for your cat’s energy and natural instincts!
Schedule Your Cat’s Annual Veterinary Check-up
The key to ensuring a prosperous life for your cat is to stay on top of your cat’s veterinary needs. Adopt the habit of scheduling veterinary check-ups for your cat. These professional health evaluations enable you to become aware of your cat’s specific needs, promoting a long, happy life together.
Make 2023 your cat’s best year by contacting your local veterinarian for more helpful advice on enhancing your cat’s lifestyle this New Year.
