💟The 8th of August is International Cat Day🐈🐱🐈‍⬛!!! I hope you have the purrfect day with your feline friends.

😻 Tomorrow is and in celebration of all our wonderful feline friends, we’ve been sharing lots of information about the importance of playing with your cat every day, as well as the benefits you and your cat will enjoy if you do.

Now it’s time to get ready…to play! Check out this fantastic guide created by Dr Mikel Delgado (International Cat Care Feline Wellbeing Panel member) and illustrated by Lili Chin (creator of our ambassador cats Domino and McTatters), which shares her tops tips for cat play 👇

🐾 Move toys like prey - play is an interactive experience that replicates your cat’s natural hunting behaviour.

🐾 Know your cat – find out what kind of ‘prey’ they like to hunt best and choose toys to match e.g. a long wriggling piece of fabric that moves like a snake, or a toy at the end of a wand that moves along the floor like a mouse.

🐾 Rotate toys to keep things interesting!

🐾 Make play a daily habit e.g. before dinner or bedtime.
