Cats have unique personalities, but they all share a love for certain things that bring them joy and comfort. Here are the top 12 things cats adore.
- Scratching – Cats instinctively scratch to sharpen claws and mark territory. A scratching post can help protect your furniture!
- Sunbathing – Cats love warmth and will find the sunniest spots in your home.
- Observing the World – A window perch lets indoor cats watch the outdoors, a simple source of endless entertainment.
- High Spots – Cats feel safe on high ground, so consider adding cat trees or high shelves.
- Butt Scratches – Some cats can’t reach their lower back, so a gentle scratch is welcome.
- Sleeping – Cats sleep 15+ hours daily, so let them rest undisturbed.
- Running Water – They prefer flowing water, so a pet fountain can be a great choice.
- Hunting Instincts – Cats enjoy the thrill of “hunting,” so give them safe toys to stalk.
- Affectionate Petting – Cats enjoy affection but on their terms, so read their cues.
- Playtime – Playing with cats enriches their lives and strengthens bonds.
- Fresh Food – Cats appreciate fresh meals and might turn away from stale food.
- Family Time – While independent, cats value time with their humans, showing affection in their own way.
By understanding these preferences, you can keep your cat happy, healthy, and engaged!
