Are you considering adopting a cat and don't know what it needs? Do you want to know some of the extra utensils to improve your feline's enrichment and well being? In this new video from Experto Animal, we'll show you 10 accessories for cats, some of them essential and others highly recommended for the benefits they provide. Discover them below. First, a food bowl and a water bowl. Every cat needs these two containers for their daily life. Remember that it's essential to change the water regularly so that it stays fresh and clean, thus encouraging our cat to drink. As for food, we can distribute it between two or three feedings or leave it a divotum that is always available. Remember, we'll place these containers away from the litter box. Second, a litter box There are many types of litter boxes. They come with and without lids and come in different heights, shapes and colors. However, the ideal is to find one that your feline feels comfortable with. Don't forget to choose a quality substrate and change it regularly. At least once or twice a week, we can place it in a quiet place in the house. 3. Nest bed this accessory will allow our cat to hide when it does not want to be disturbed. Therefore, we must place it in a very quiet and elevated place. They generally use it when they are very sleepy or scared, for example when when guests come to the house or when it is fireworks night. 4. Identification plate apart from placing a microchip at the veterinary center, if your feline has access to the outside, it may be advisable to also put a collar with an identification plate on it with your name and phone number so that they can locate you in case of emergency. 5. Vertical or Horizontal Scratching Post Regardless of the type, the scratching post helps our feline to file its nails and carry out the marking behavior innate to the species. We must reinforce it when it uses it and to encourage it to do so, we can rub it on the catnip. 6. Brushes it is highly recommended to brush our cat's hair at least once a week. This will remove dead hair and accumulated dirt. A brushing routine will also help us detect any skin problems or parasites early on. We should increase this routine during shedding seasons, which usually coincide with the change in light in spring and fall season. 7. Toys There are many simple homemade intelligence toys and all of them are highly recommended for stimulating our feline. Set aside time every day to play with your cat. This way they will feel stimulated and loved, which is essential for their well being. 8. Water fountain More and more people are getting a water fountain, especially for those cats that do not drink too much. This accessory is also an important source of environmental enrichment. 9. Scratching post in addition to a small scratching post, a scratching post allows our feline to exercise. If we place it near a window, our cat will be able to see everything that is happening outside, which also translates into extra environmental enrichment. 10. Catnip we must differentiate between catnip, which is basically a pot of grass that our cat will love to nibble on, and catnip, a stimulating herb that will make our feline have a good time. We can rub it against the scratching post with toys or simply spread it on the floor. See what happens.
