Our feline friends have some wonderful and unique qualities. Kitties’ lovable quirks and purrsonality have definitely helped them win spots in our hearts and homes, as well as on our laps, beds, computers, and tables. In fact, Fluffy may very well be the purrfect pet! She’s small, clean, independent, and, of course, absolutely adorable. Want to get your pet’s motor going? A Roanoke, VA vet lists some ways to do that below.

Window Seats

Cats are always safer staying indoors. Kitties that are allowed out face many serious threats, such as cars, weather, chemicals, and wild animals. However, Fluffy does enjoy watching birds and squirrels, and anything else that may happen by. Give your furry little voyeur a comfy window seat.

Boxes

Kitties clearly expect their humans to wait on them hand and paw. Fortunately for us, they don’t have expensive taste. Simply giving Fluffy an empty box or paper grocery bag (without handles) will brighten up her day.

Catnip!

No surprise here! Fluffy’s relationship with this curious little member of the mint family is both unique and entertaining. 

Playtime

Don’t forget that your adorable little furball is actually a predator at heart. Playing is a great way to let your furball indulge her inner lioness. (Or her inner serial killer.) Take a few minutes a day to hold a laser pointer or wand toy for Fluffy to chase and pounce on.

Pet Furniture

Our feline buddies need things to climb, explore, and, of course, sleep on. Cat towers are the gold standard, as they offer vantage points, jungle gyms, nail-care stations, and napping spots. Fluffy will also appreciate things like kitty condos, pet tunnels, and comfy beds.

Catios

Want to really spoil your furry pal? Make her a catio or cat enclosure! This will allow Fluffy to get some fresh air and stimulation while keeping her safe from the threats we listed above.

Conversation

While we may enjoy poking fun at our feline pals, the truth is they are very affectionate, and form quite strong bonds with their humans. Pay lots of attention to your little buddy. Pet her, play with her, and let her snooze in your lap. Talking to Fluffy will also help her feel loved and safe. She may even talk back!
