Can't your cat go outside? Chances are you feel a little guilty about that.... Fortunately, you can make your cat's life a little better with the tips below. Wondering how to keep your precious cat happy inside? Then read on!
- Give your cat enough attention
Unfortunately, there are many cats in the Netherlands that are home alone for long periods of time and we think this can be different. Are you away from home a little longer and do you want to give your cat the attention he deserves? Book a sweet and reliable cat sitter through Petbnb! That way, your sweetheart will still be pampered and you will leave the house feeling guilt-free!
2. A good scratching post is a must
This one really should not be missing in your home! Cats use a scratching post not only to sharpen nails, but also to mark their territory and reduce stress. Nowadays there are a huge variety of scratching post designs to make your home even more cozy, modern or chic. Keep in mind that your cat likes to climb, so height differences in the scratching post are essential.
3. Provide a clean litter box and put it in a quiet place
A cat is a very hygienic animal. Therefore, always provide a clean litter box. Choose unscented cat litter, to keep it as natural as possible. In addition, allow your cat some privacy and put the litter box in a quiet place.
4. Provide a resting place by the window
Have you ever noticed that cats often lie by the window? They like to see what's going on outside. So provide a quiet place for your cat to lie, preferably by the window!
5. Toys
Cats have a hunting instinct and it must be kept stimulated or they will get bored. Fortunately, there is no shortage of cat toys! Play mice, balls, laser lights ... you name it. Besides, a toy doesn't have to be expensive or complicated. A wad of paper or a ball of wool is usually well liked as well. Alternate with the toys to surprise your cat.
6. Food and drink
Adequate (healthy) food and drink is, of course, hugely important. Provide fresh drinking water and give your cat an occasional cat treat. What you can experiment with is by adding a play element to giving the kibble to spark the hunting instinct. Take the snack die, for example. This is a rubber square you can put kibble in, it's up to your cat to get the kibble out!
7. Taking in another cat or dog
Looking for a playmate and a good friend for your cat? Then you would do well to take in a second cat or dog. An extra buddy makes for more fun and a friendship there, provided they like each other of course!
