Cats require a good amount of time put into caring for their
needs. After you understand what needs to be done, however,
this turns into bonding time between you and your cat and
can actually be quite enjoyable. Take brushing for example
- all cats need to be brushed on a regular basis to remove
excess hair, and long-haired cats need to be brushed on an
almost daily basis (depending on the cat) to keep them free
of mats in their fur. At our house we've made this a bedtime
ritual, creating an enjoyable relaxing activity for both
human and cat. All we have to do is hold up the brush and
one of our cats come running - they enjoy being groomed and
it benefits them as well.
Some activities, on the other hand, are less enjoyable for
cats but need to be done. Nail clipping is one of these,
most cats dread this time of the month. There are many ways
to make it more enjoyable for your cat, however, because
this is a necessary thing that needs to be done. Read more
in our Nail Care section to learn about clipping nails.
