Natural disasters can be quite frightening and you need to be prepared. You need to get things ready for your cat too. If you are staying in your home, make sure you have ample food, water, medicine and cat litter for your cat till you can replenish supplies. If there is a remote chance you will need to evacuate your home, work to find a shelter that will accept pets. Prepare a go-bag when you prepare your own and in addition to necessary supplies, don’t forget a favorite blanket and a few toys to comfort your cat. Keep your cat’s carrier close at hand so you can leave immediately if needed. Train your cat to walk wearing a harness and a leash in case you need to remove her from the carrier in a strange place. Stay calm since your cat will sense your fear and panic herself. Contact your St. Francis Hospital for Animals, NY to learn more.

Cats need to play daily for proper exercise and socialization. These exercise sessions also develop a relationship of trust and fun with your cat. And exercise offers both mental and physical stimulation. Always use toys to play with your cat so you don’t get scratched or bitten, even by accident. Use toys that stimulate your cat’s hunting instincts for best results. A ball, laser pointer or fishing rod toy with a feather lure can entice your cat to chase, pounce or jump. Start out slow and increase the length of sessions and the intensity as your cat gets in shape. Watch your surroundings so your cat doesn’t run into furniture or walls and she doesn’t fall down from high distances and get hurt. Paper bags and boxes make good hiding places for your cat to ambush passing prey, even it is your ankle. Contact your Floyds Knob, IN vet to learn more.
