6 Ways to Keep Your Cat Comfortable

If there’s one thing we know about cats, it’s that they’re masters at getting comfortable. Fluffy has a special talent for being able to sleep on just about anything. (She also manages to sleep in positions that would result in cracked backs and pulled muscles for us.) However, there are still things you can do to keep your kitty purring and content. A Tampa, FL vet lists a few things below.

Parasite Control

Fleas, ticks, and other parasites can definitely take a toll on your feline pal’s health and well-being. Your kitty can’t get comfortable if she’s constantly dealing with flea bites! Keep up with Fluffy’s preventative care.

Keep Kitty In

Our feline friends are both curious and playful, and many of them enjoy going outdoors. However, Fluffy will be much better off staying indoors. Heat can be a big problem for cats, as they don’t have any easy ways to cool off if they get too hot. In summer, your furball will be much more comfortable in rooms cooled by fans or air conditioners.

Prevent Obesity

Cats may be cute, but they’re also in danger of developing some very serious health issues. Keep Fluffy at a healthy weight!

Grooming

Kitties are very clean, and they’re usually pretty good about grooming themselves. However, Fluffy can still use a helping paw in this area. Brushing your furry pal regularly will remove dead hair and dander from her coat. This will help her stay cooler in summer, and keep her warm when it’s chilly out.

Veterinary Care

Pain can definitely keep you from getting comfortable. This is also true for kitties! Make sure to keep up with Fluffy’s doctors’ appointments. Regular exams will help you stay ahead of any developing medical conditions. This will in turn help prevent pain and discomfort.

Be Furniture

Fluffy is just the right size to fit into our laps, a fact that she takes full advantage of. Your kitty may doze off on you while you are reading or watching TV. This is not only super cute, but it’s also a good way for both you and your furry pal to get comfortable. Having a warm, purring cat on your lap is extremely relaxing!
