This is Tiger Lily, here to give you a message about September.
It’s true! September is Happy Cat Month! National Cat Day doesn’t happen until October 29, but you have the entire month of September to pamper all the cats in your house. And you must, you absolutely must, pamper them to keep them happy.
Well, seriously, cats don’t need humans to be happy. We only need a safe place to live, food, water, toys and boxes. But, that being said, let’s talk about September and happy cats.
Mommy Let Me Surf The Web
From this website, I got a list of things you can do to help keep your cats happy.
Take Your Cat to the Vet
Mommy takes us to Dr. Ralph, but, sadly, Dr. Ralph passed away. We were very sorry to hear that. Mommy still takes us to his office, though. She keeps us healthy. And those folks that invented Happy Cat Month put the health thing front and center.
Check Your Cat’s Food
Are you using actual cat food? You should be, because real cat food is made with all of the nutrients we need. Anyway, this is a good time to do an online search to see if the food you are giving your cats is healthy.
Play With Your Cat
The best humans know how their cats like to play, and how they like to receive attention. If you have difficulty communicating with your cat, perhaps you need to spend a little time figuring this out. Just like babies, cats cry or act out for different reasons. They need food, or water, or the litter pan hasn’t been cleaned. But you may be missing a big piece of the puzzle. Maybe that acting-out cat just needs attention.
Groom Your Cat
All cats know how to keep themselves clean, but sometimes we need extra help with our shedding hair. It might help keep the fur from flying around the house, and it might keep our stummies clear of furballs.
What Else?
Buy a cheap new toy, or a new scratching pad. Find a new box. Throw a little catnip in the food. (Personally, I like that suggestion a lot.) Spend a little more time cuddle-bugging with your babies.
