How To Keep Your Cat Happy

Is everyone in your home happy? What about your little feline friend? He seems to be unsatisfied. You notice this and wonder "What can I do to make my cat happy?" Perhaps he's not being treated correctly. You love your cat and you want him to be a happy member of your family. Yet, you're not quite sure exactly what to do for that to be. There are three important things you need to remember in order to make your cat feel right at home.

First of all, make sure your cat has things to do. If you don't want him to scratch up your furniture or your curtains, then keep him occupied by playing with him or giving him toys to play with. Yarn, balls, and things that they can move or chase around are good. Spend a little time with your cat so it doesn't get bored.

Second of all, you don't want to keep your cat waiting too long for food. You will know when it's been too long if he starts trying to work the can opener. On a more serious note, cats are animals and hungry animals aren't very friendly, or happy. Keep it on a regular eating schedule, so it makes it easier for you to develop a routine to keep your cat from starving.

Lastly, listen to your cat's meowing; it may mean he's begging you for something. It may be food, it may be attention. Whatever it is, you can't ignore it. Your cat will most likely otherwise stay quiet and hang on the little box or a comfy pillow. If it starts making noise, it's time to listen up.

Suppose you already do all those things and your cat still isn't happy. Do you keep him indoors at all times? Well, that's one thing you shouldn't do. Cats love to be outside or at least staring out the window. There's no harm in letting your cat get some fresh air, especially if you're keeping an eye on him so he won't run away. As mentioned before, you shouldn't ignore your cat. However, you don't want to crowd up his space either. Sometimes he likes to be left alone.

You can tell if your cat is unhappy when he has an unhappy look on his face. If you look closely at your cat's eyes and you see that the pupils are little slits, that means he's angry. Always remember, your cat deserves your respect. Be sure you give your cat just enough attention for it to be satisfied. Don't keep him in doors 24/7. Take him for a ride every once in a while. No one likes to be unhappy.
