What Does Your Cat Need To Be Happy?

“Time spent with cats is never wasted”
~May Sarton
The words of May Sarton, a renowned author, poet and memoirist are absolutely true. Won’t all the cat lovers agree with her that time spent with cats is indeed never wasted? Cats are too lazy to show their emotions and this may make it difficult for you to decipher whether your purr queen is happy or not. And, the truth is that you may never be able to know it! You just need to do your part and leave the rest to your kitty. So, what are some definite things to do as your part that could make your cat happy? Let’s have a look!

What Does Your Cat Need To Be Happy?


1.    Although cats are said to be distant, you need to give your attention and love to them. This is the first and foremost thing to do as a cat’s friend. You may need to find a perfect balance between letting them have their aloof time and sparing some play or love time for them. Timely head and chin scratches, letting them purr on your lap are some of the things you could try to make your queen happy.

2.    Domesticated animals highly depend on you for their food. Shelter and food are two benefits that a pet feline gets which a street cat does not. Love? Street cats get that a lot! You may be a great guardian and your kitty must be getting her meals regularly. However what interests them more is treats! Make sure you offer her treats regularly, not more than necessary, but enough to show your appreciation and make her happy.

3.    We all have work and other commitments which do not allow us to spend the amount of time with our kitties that we wish to. Meanwhile our cats may need something to play with. Yes, toys! Different toys may make your queen busy and happy at the same time. Catnip filled toys, stuffed mouse are some of their favorite toys. Make sure you rotate them frequently as cats tend to get bored with things easily.

4.    This idea may not make your kitty happy, but is extremely important for their healthy living and future happiness. Veterinary checkups may stress your feline at that moment, but temporary stress is always better than a permanent stress of sickness. Isn’t it? Get your feline checked regularly by a trusted vet and make sure she is fine.

5.    There are a few more things which may make your kitty happy like clean litter boxes, scratching post (they love to scratch), and another feline friend (only if your queen is friendly enough). Make sure you give individual litter boxes, beddings, and food bowls if you are parenting more than one feline.


These are the basic mantras that may assist you in keeping your furry felines happy and content. With the right amount of food, care and love, all cats seem to be satisfied with their guardians. If you are missing out on any of the above tips, start trying it and spread happiness!
