It's that time again: your salary has arrived with a well-deserved bonus. Whether you want to pack your bags right away or prefer to save your holiday money for later, one housemate will stay home no matter what. That's right: your cat. And let's be honest, he also deserves a summer full of attention, comfort, and fun. Here you'll find our tips and our summer essentials to help your cat enjoy this summer too.
Did you know... cats are more sensitive to changes than you might think?
When you go on vacation, your cat often notices this from your behavior: packing suitcases, different routines, and tension in the house. Some cats respond by withdrawing, eating less, or even becoming incontinent. By adjusting their environment in time and giving them extra attention or fun stimuli, you help them cope better with your absence.
Holiday allowance is of course meant for your vacation, but also for investments. And what is a better investment than the happiness of your cat when you are away for a while?
Small treats, big fun
You really don't have to spend a fortune to make your cat happy. With a little extra, you can already give your cat a great day. A new toy, a tasty treat, or an interactive fishing rod not only provides entertainment but also some cozy moments together. Whether you're at home or your cat has to pass the time on its own later, a small surprise will brighten its day a little.
Maybe this is the moment to finally invest in that stylish litter box that has been on your wish list for a while. Or perhaps you choose a cat furniture that also looks beautiful in your interior. Whatever it may be, when you are not around, your cat is at least cared for and feels more at ease. And don't forget: a cat that feels safe and comfortable in its environment is more relaxed, healthier, and happier. You will ultimately notice this reflected in its behavior as well.
Extra tip:
Did you know that some brain work, such as hiding snacks or puzzle toys, helps cats reduce stress? This way you keep their brain active and give them something to do during your absence.
So whether you go out and enjoy the sun or stay comfortably at home, don't forget who is always there for you, keeps you company, and secretly thinks you're the most fun: your cat.
