3-Hold Your Cat On Your Lap While Driving:
As a fellow cat-lover, there’s nothing I envy more than curling up on the couch with my feline friend and watching the world go by. Unfortunately, that peaceful coexistence is usually thrown out the window when it comes to transportation. Most cats absolutely despise being crammed into a carrier, and can become frenzied when kept in one for too long. But as much as we may want to let our fluffy friends roam free in the car, the fact is that an unsecured cat in a moving vehicle is a recipe for disaster. They’re not only a distraction to the driver, but also put themselves at risk of injury or escape. So while it may be a bit of a battle, it’s ultimately best to buckle up that secure cat carrier for a safe, stress-free road trip.
2-Cats tend to like the sweetness of milk, but you should avoid indulging them with a saucer of the stuff:
As fun as it may seem to share a bowl of milk with your furry feline friend, it’s important to know that most cats are actually lactose intolerant. According to Dr. Gary Richter, a veterinarian and researcher, giving cats cow’s milk can lead to significant health issues. “Milk is not necessary for cat nutrition and though you may think you’re giving your pet a tasty treat, many cats will suffer stomachaches or other related problems when given dairy,” Richter warns. Instead, Richter advises cat owners to stick to water for their cats’ hydration needs, or offer a small, low-calorie pet treat to give their feline friends something special. So, remember to put down the milk and choose a healthier option for your beloved pet!
1-Ignore Those Hairballs:
Felines may be experts at self-grooming, but it’s not uncommon to come across a dreaded hairball. We’ve all been there, and it’s not pleasant. However, did you know that lending a hand in grooming can actually help reduce the amount of hair your cat ingests? It’s true. By regularly brushing, you can help capture loose fur and dead skin particles that a cat’s tongue may miss. Not only will this help reduce the chances of hairball spewing, but it also promotes bonding between you and your furry friend. So, grab a brush and show your cat some love!
