Ever wonder how your kitty’s age stacks up in human years? Whether your cat is a playful kitten or a wise senior, understanding their age in human years can help you better meet their needs. 🧓🐾

Check out the chart to calculate your cat’s age in human years.

Knowing your cat’s age in human years helps with things like understanding behavior (like shredding furniture or getting a comfy bed for arthritis). 😻

If you have any questions about your cat’s life stage or health, the team at Healthy Pets is here to help! 🐾💖

🐱 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗗𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝘆 𝗖𝗮𝘁 𝗟𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗠𝗲? 🐾

Ever wondered why your cat gives you those 𝘢𝘧𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘦 licks? 🤔 While it might feel like sandpaper, there’s more to it than meets the tongue!

Here are some reasons your kitty might be showing you some love (or something else):

💖 𝗔𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: Licking is how cats show love, just like their mothers did when they were kittens. It’s their way of saying, "I love you!"
🏷️ 𝗖𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗬𝗼𝘂: Cats lick to mark you with their scent—basically saying, "You belong to me!" 🐾
🍼 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗯𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗲: Cats who were weaned too early might lick for comfort, like using a pacifier.
😌 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗦𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴: Licking can calm anxious or stressed kitties, just like thumb-sucking for babies.
😻 𝗧𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲: Sometimes, your cat just likes the taste of your salty skin or lotion!
⚠️ 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁: Excessive licking could signal health concerns, so be sure to check with your vet if the behavior is out of the ordinary.

If you're concerned about your cat’s licking habits, our team at Healthy Pets of Hayden Run is here to help! 🐾❤️

Winter can make it tricky to keep pets active, but it’s crucial for their health and happiness! Try these fun ways to keep your dog engaged and fit during the colder months:

🏠 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗙𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗵 & 𝗧𝘂𝗴-𝗼𝗳-𝗪𝗮𝗿 - Clear a cozy space indoors for fetch or tug-of-war! It’s a great way to burn energy without braving the cold.
🧩 𝗣𝘂𝘇𝘇𝗹𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝘆𝘀 & 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘀 - Mental stimulation is just as important as physical! Try treat-dispensing toys or hide-and-seek with treats to keep their minds sharp.
🚶‍♂️ 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗱𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀 - On milder days, head out for short walks to get some fresh air. Don’t forget to bundle up if needed and always wipe those paws after! 🧣🧤
