Whether you’re a seasoned cat parent or a new one, understanding these loves can help you bond with your feline friend and keep them happy. So, let’s jump right in!”
1. Being Pet: “First on our list is being pet. Contrary to the aloof reputation cats sometimes have, they actually enjoy being petted—especially in areas with scent glands like around the lips, chin, and cheeks, between the eyes and ears, and at the base of the tail. Petting in these areas mimics grooming, which is comforting for them. So, next time you’re giving your cat some love, remember these spots!”

Cats love observing the world, and one of their favorite pastimes is watching birds. Placing a bird feeder outside your window can provide endless entertainment for your kitty. It’s like their own version of live TV, full of fluttering action!”

It taps into their instinctual need for safety, providing them a cozy hideout. So, next time you get a package, don’t throw out that box—let your cat enjoy it first!”

Calm, soothing tunes can help reduce their stress, especially during stressful situations like vet visits. Researchers have found that classical music can make cats calmer, but music designed for their unique hearing can be even more effective. Give it a try and watch your feline friend relax.”
[Cut to a cat eating fresh food]5. Fresh Food: “Cats are quite the food critics! They prefer fresh food over leftovers due to both taste and safety concerns. Fresh food is less likely to harbor harmful bacteria, making it a safer option. So, aim to serve your cat meals they’ll enjoy fresh, and watch them purr with satisfaction.”
[Cut to a cat grooming itself]6. Grooming: “If you’ve ever watched a cat meticulously licking its fur, you know how much they love grooming. Cats spend a significant amount of their day grooming themselves to clean and cool their bodies. Their tongues have tiny hooks that help detangle fur, spread natural oils, and remove dirt. It’s their way of staying pristine and comfortable.”
[Cut to a cat on a high perch]7. High Spots: “Cats love high spots! These elevated areas make them feel safe and give them a perfect vantage point to observe their territory. Whether it’s a cat tree, shelves, or the top of the fridge, providing high spots can make your cat feel more secure and content.”
[Cut to a cat cuddling with a human]8. Human Companionship: “Believe it or not, cats do enjoy spending time with their humans. They might not show it in the same way dogs do, but they love being near you. Whether it’s sitting on your lap, snuggling next to you on the couch, or just hanging out in the same room, your presence is comforting to them. Make sure to spend quality time with your feline friend every day.”
[Cut to a cat looking out the window]9. Observing: “Cats are natural observers. They love watching the world go by, especially when it involves birds and squirrels. A window perch can provide hours of entertainment. If your home doesn’t have a lot of outdoor action, consider turning on Cat TV—videos specifically designed to engage your cat’s curiosity.”
[Cut to a cat playing with a toy]10. Playing: “Playtime is crucial for cats. It mimics hunting, helps them exercise, and keeps them mentally stimulated. Toys that mimic prey, like catfishing poles or plush mice, are great options. Aim for at least 30 minutes of play each day to keep your cat happy and healthy.”
[Cut to a cat being fed at the same time every day]11. Routine: “Cats thrive on routine. They love knowing what to expect and when to expect it, especially when it comes to feeding times. Consistency makes them feel secure and reduces stress. Try to stick to a regular schedule for feeding, playtime, and cuddles to keep your kitty content.”
[Cut to a cat drinking from a pet fountain]12. Running Water: “Have you noticed your cat’s fascination with running water? It’s because they instinctively prefer it over still water, which can harbor bacteria. Investing in a pet fountain can encourage your cat to drink more water, keeping them hydrated and healthy.”
[Cut to a cat scratching a post]13. Scratching: “Scratching is not just a natural behavior for cats—it’s essential for their health. It helps keep their claws in good shape, allows them to stretch their muscles, and lets them mark their territory. Make sure to provide plenty of scratching posts around your home to satisfy this instinct.”
[Cut to a cat sleeping in a sunny spot]14. Sleeping: “Cats are true sleep aficionados, often sleeping between 12 to 20 hours a day. This extensive sleep helps them conserve energy for hunting, even if they don’t have to hunt for their meals anymore. Make sure your cat has plenty of comfy spots to nap, especially in sunny areas.”
[Cut to a cat sunbathing]15. Sunbathing: “Finally, cats love sunbathing. It helps them regulate their body temperature and conserves their energy. Whether it’s a sunny window or a warm spot on the floor, cats will seek out these warm spots to nap and relax. Providing access to sunny areas can make your cat very happy.”
