4 easy ways to make your cat happier

# 1 motivate your cat to be active

Most people have problems with being overweight as their waistline continues to expand, and sadly, their pets experience the same problems as well.

According to a current study, about 55% of domestic cats today are overweight.

This is due to 3 main problems, such as having a sedentary lifestyle, a high calorie diet, and too many treats.

When cat owners allow their felines to play and get plenty of exercise, in addition to providing them with the necessary daily caloric meals, their cat will stay healthy and live longer rather than have a shorter lifespan and costly medication problems.

Even the simplest cat toys can transform a fat, lethargic cat into a slim, active feline.

2.Take the cat outside for fresh air and sunlight

Cat lovers may not fully agree on whether indoors or outdoors is better for their cats.

No matter what they decide, they must ensure that they provide their kitten with a safe means of enjoying fresh air and sunshine.

They may consider installing a closed kennel or catio to protect their cat while it is outside.

3. Build something tall where your cat can climb, hide, and watch.

Today’s felines come from a long line of house cats dating back 12,000 years.

According to the researchers’ discovery, all current domestic house cats come from one ancestor: Felis sylvestris lybica, an ancient wild cat from Africa.

This African wildcat still exists until now, that’s why you are familiar with it.

Its outstanding feature, which makes it stand out, is its small size.

Since it originated from a wild environment, the African wild cat is known to be both a predator and a prey.

The African wildcat as a predator, climbed to the top of the trees / hills to hide and prepare for the approaching prey. As prey, it would climb to find refuge in high places where large predators could not follow.

So what does this mean for cat owners and their feline pets? These modern house cats long for a high hiding place. It is natural for some agile cats to climb to the top of a shelf or refrigerator.

4. Provide something for the pet cat to scratch its claws.

A cat’s claw will grow continuously.

Since their claws are not cut too often, they file their claws by scratching them on any surface.

This behavior, which was inherited from your ancestors, offers more benefits than simply clipping your nails.

So, to protect a home’s furniture and cushions, among others, you can give your cat its own scratching surfaces.
