Purrfect Cat Care Tips

How to Keep Your Feline Friend Happy and Healthy

By John Kennedy

Cats have a way of stealing our hearts—and our couches if we’re not careful! Whether you’re a new cat parent or a seasoned pro, keeping your furry friend happy and healthy doesn’t have to feel like herding cats. With the right toys, a comfy space, and a few smart habits, you can make your home a feline paradise.

Create a Cozy and Safe Space

Cats are all about comfort and security, so setting up a cozy corner is a great place to start. A soft bed like the Wicker Cat Bed gives them a snug spot to curl up and relax. It’s also important to keep their space free of loud noises and harsh lighting. If you’ve got a curious climber, adding a Cat Scratcher can help them release energy without tearing up your furniture.

Keep Them Active and Engaged

Cats may seem laid-back, but they need regular playtime to stay happy and avoid boredom. Interactive toys like the Cat Wand with Interchangeable Charms can keep them entertained while satisfying their hunting instincts. Rotating toys and adding variety to their playtime keeps things exciting, so they’re less likely to get into mischief elsewhere.

Scratching is another natural behavior, so providing a Scratcher and Replacement Bundle is a smart way to protect your sofa while letting your cat do what comes naturally. Trust us—your furniture will thank you!

Focus on Nutrition and Hydration

Cats can be picky eaters, but a well-balanced diet keeps their fur shiny and energy levels high. Always provide fresh water, and consider adding a water fountain to encourage hydration. Cats love moving water, and it’s a great way to prevent dehydration. Pairing nutritious meals with regular vet visits ensures your feline friend stays healthy inside and out.

Show Some Love

Cats may act independent, but they still crave attention and love. Spend quality time petting, brushing, or even talking to your cat. Bonding activities not only strengthen your relationship but also give you a chance to check for any health issues, like lumps or changes in their coat.

Make Every Purchase Count

When shopping for cat supplies, it’s nice to know your purchases make a difference. At Friends of Normie, 20% of profits go directly toward cat rescue efforts. So whether you’re picking up toy mice or cozy beds, you’re not just spoiling your pet—you’re helping cats in need.
