Our feline friends are very interesting animals, to say the least. Fluffy is cute and cuddly, but she’s also a fierce predator. She’s also quite silly at times, and can be more than a bit opinionated. If your pet were able to voice her opinion on things, what do you think she would want to express most? Here, a Tampa, FL vet lists some things your furball would like you to know.
I Want To Play
Did you know that playing with your cat regularly is one of the best things you can do for her? This is not only good for Fluffy both mentally and physically, it’s also a way to make her feel a bit pampered, which will definitely strengthen the bond between you.
I Get Lonely When You’re Gone
Cats are very independent, which makes them very easy keepers. However, Fluffy isn’t entirely self-sufficient. Take steps to make your furry pal’s alone time more comfortable for her. Leave a radio or TV on, and make sure she has plenty of toys and a comfy window seat.
There’s A Lizard In The Kitchen
Kitties are hunters by nature, and they are instinctively driven to want to pounce on things. They’re also quite fascinated by any small critters that may look like prey. Fluffy will likely alert you to the presence of intruding moths, lizards, and other critters, either by meowing, trying to catch them, or just going into ‘full kitty alert’ mode.
I Like Treats
We all know that dogs enjoy treats. Cats, however, are more finicky, so people sometimes think they don’t care for special snacks. Treat Fluffy on occasion by offering her a yummy treat, like tuna or plain chicken.
I Didn’t Mean To Ruin Your Sofa
Scratching is a common complaint among people owned by kitties. However, many people assume that Fluffy is deliberately being destructive, when she’s really just following her natural instincts. Don’t punish your furball for scratching. Instead, make sure she has a suitable scratching post, and reward her for using it.
I Love You
Cats have tried to make us think that they are aloof, but they are actually very emotional. We suspect one of Fluffy’s messages would be of pure kitty love!
