4 tips for a happy cat

September can traditionally be a busy month. With the end of summer and the back-to-school season in full swing, there always seems to be something on the calendar. While you're busy getting back into your groove, don't forget to do a little extra for your cat and show them how much they mean to you. These four tips can ensure a good relationship with your cat all year round.

1. Make room to play – like humans, cats have energy that they need to expend during the day. Give your cat a special area in the house where he can play and where the toys are. Don't forget to play with the cat every now and then.

2. Provide a high-quality diet – Food can play an important role in your cat's overall happiness and health. Provide good nutrition with a lot of protein, which helps them maintain their vitality and burn fat.

3. Toys are a cat's best friend – Cats are naturally curious and like to sneak around. Have a variety of toys on hand. Not only is this a good form of exercise, but it also allows them to exercise their instincts.

4. Spend Time Together – For cats, quality time can be spent in a variety of ways. If you're busy, try folding your laundry or doing work in the same room so they know you're with them. You can also cuddle with your furry friend when you relax and watch television or read a book. Bringing time together can create companionship between you and your cat.
