Though separation anxiety in dogs is often discussed, the conversation does not always focus on our feline friends. Cats are typically viewed as independent, so people often assume that they won’t mind being left alone, but the truth is, it’s not unusual for cats to experience separation anxiety. https://pbxx.it/dlOW13

Visiting the veterinarian is an essential part of any cat’s life. Beginning from a young age, it’s critical that your feline friend goes for a check-up every year. Though these appointments don’t occur frequently, it’s possible that your cat may still experience anxiety during their visit. https://pbxx.it/1hvCPU

Environmental enrichment is so valuable!

😻 Play is great enrichment for cats, so we’re bringing back these lovely illustrations by Lili Chin from our 2022 International Cat Day campaign!

There are many different ways cats can play, so take note of what your cat likes to do. 🪶 A wand toy is a good place to start – try wiggling it in short bursts along the floor or swooping it slowly through the air above them.

🔔 Give yourself a reminder to play with your cat for 5 minutes each day and you will also see how much it improves your bond with them.
