Dangle some string or play hide and seek with your furry friend. Interactive games are great for bonding, getting exercise, and teaching them new skills.
Treats are always a surefire way to show your cats how much you care about them. Buy them some of their favorite treats or make some homemade treats that are sure to please.
Cats can be incredibly loving companions. They enjoy spending time with their human family members and seek out physical affection, from your lap or a good snuggle session to a gentle head massage. Hugging your cat is a great way to show them how much you care!
Cat hugs are not just about expressing love - they are also an important part of establishing and maintaining a strong bond between you and your pet. Hugs give the opportunity for cats to have physical contact, which is essential for providing emotional support. So take some time on National Hug Your Cat day to show them how much they mean to you!
When cats receive regular physical contact in the form of hugs, it can stimulate oxytocin production, which has been linked to improved immunity and decreased stress levels. Regular hugging can also help cats cope with anxiety or other behavioral issues, as well as encourage proper litterbox habits by making cats feeling safe and secure.
