Hello,
everyone, this is Lexy checking in. As
you know, September is Happy Healthy Cat Month.
We’re teaming up with the folks at Wellness Natural Pet Food to bring
you some hits to keep your cat happy and healthy.
·
Instinctively,
felines are natural hunters – help your cat or kitten stay on top of their
skills with plenty of play time together. Not only does this keep your cat
active to support a healthier lifestyle, it also keeps stress levels down and
encourages bonding for a happy, purring kitty. Just be sure that you keep any
laser pointers away from your cat’s eyes!
·
Due
to their sedentary lifestyles, indoor cats are especially prone to weight gain,
which can lead to a wide variety of health issues. That’s why it’s essential
that your cat’s diet features a well-rounded mix of proteins, fats and
nutrients to support a healthy weight. Wellness Complete Health Indoor Health contains a balanced mix of meats,
grains and fruits for felines that lounge more than they lunge.
·
Cats
experience boredom, too, and they can express it in ways you may not be so fond
of, such as chasing other household pets or shredding items other than their
toys. Excite your feline friend by bringing a taste of the wild indoors, with
perches by a sunny window or potted plants that are cat friendly. A few to
avoid are tulips, lilies and English ivy – these are all toxic for pets!
Hairballs
are unpleasant for cat and cat owner alike, but they can be managed with some
extra grooming time and a proper diet. Long haired cats are more likely to have
hairballs, so a few minutes of daily brushing can go a long way. Wellness Natural Hairball Control is made with a special natural fiber
blend, which is also helpful in preventing hairball formation.

Great tips! Good food and lots of toys keeps us happy. :)
ReplyDeleteNice tips! Pierre, our canned food eater, isn't a fan of Wellness. Or wasn't in the last round of taste tests. He may change his mind next week.
ReplyDeleteWe need to get some cat grass for Miss Rosie! Toys, treats, and cuddles is the key for us.
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! I try to spoil my cats, but I need to bring out da bird toy more often.
ReplyDeleteWe love the Wellness infographic with its catchy sayings to remind us what to do. We are getting some Wellness food here in NZ I will look out for Wellness foods you mention!
ReplyDeleteLove this post and wonderful tips! For our multi-cat household, we give top priority to living space and we watch for signs of stress or potential bullying. So climbers, shelves, kitty bar stools and catio are key! Then of course their daily dose of Da Bird works wonders too!
ReplyDeleteThose were terrific happy things! Laptime and snuggles make me happy!
ReplyDeleteThose are some really good tips! We have to get a little cat-safe greenery around here...
ReplyDeleteYou two have awesome advice :)
