Cats are well known for being the queens and kings of their domain – normally, our houses! Pet cats are well-loved members of the family, so it’s only right that they enjoy all of the perks and luxury treatment we can offer them.
A cat’s life is often enviable to us humans; eating, sleeping and being fussed by their humans all day long. Since domestic cats rely on us to provide for most (if not all) of their needs, then it’s important to treat your cats like the royalty they believe themselves to be.
Get Plenty Of Cat Beds
Cats spend between 12 and 18 hours of each day sleeping – impressive by human standards. For all this snoozing, your cat will need a nice, comfy place to curl up. Often, they’ll use your own furniture for their naptime, but it is still best to invest in some comfortable beds just for them. You could even get a heated cat bed that your cat will adore, particularly in the chilly winter months.
Try Out Some Catnip
Catnip is a fun investment that your cat will love; catnip is a plant that is highly attractive to cats and that they’ll go crazy for. You can get catnip on its own or in toys that you can bring out whenever you want to give your cat a treat. It is important not to use it too often, though, as it can cause vomiting or diarrhoea if used too much.
Invest In The Right Food
Just like us humans, cats deserve the very best in a varied and nutritious diet. There are plenty of pet food options out there to suit your cat’s specific needs, but you should always look for food options that have the best luxury ingredients. Encore is a great choice, with a huge range of foods made with various ingredients for different requirements.
Use A Comfy Collar
A collar is a must for cats that go outside, both to ensure others know the cat has a home and to keep the local bird population safe. You’ll need a comfortable collar that is tight enough that your cat can’t slip out of – and cats are known for a Houdini-like ability to escape collars – without being too tight and uncomfortable.
Buy Some Cat-Friendly Brushes
Cats spend a lot of their waking hours grooming themselves, and they don’t normally need any help from their humans to do so. But it can grooming can still be a great way to build your bond with your cat and spend some quality time together. You can find cat-friendly brushes, which are especially beneficial for long hair breeds, to give your cats a decadent fussing session – and reduce the amount of cat hair around the house at the same time!
Final Thoughts
There are plenty of ways to give your cats the luxury treatment – their needs aren’t normally complicated. Good food, comfy places to sleep and sun themselves, and lots of entertainment are all vital. Though they may act like they own you and not the other way around, it’s still important to remember that you’ve got to provide for them and ensure they live and happy and fun-filled life.
