If you love your cat unconditionally, you've probably wondered how to improve your bond with them so they feel happy and comfortable at home. In this Animal Expert video, we'll give you five tips to improve your bond with your feline. Take note and put them into practice. First, offer them good environmental enrichment. Environmental enrichment is very important to ensure your cat's psychological well being. In other words, if your cat lives in an apartment or flat, they need to have toys that stimulate them physically and mentally. Cats are hunters by nature and need to express this natural instinct through play. You can buy them all kinds of toys that encourage them to exercise, such as fishing rods or toy mice, although we also recommend that you look for mentally stimulating toys like the Khan. You can also make your cat happy by making homemade toys or playing games at home that keep them entertained. Don't know how? We'll show you in the video on the card. Second, use pheromones Pheromones are a type of natural message that cats use to communicate with their surroundings. In this way, felines use these pheromones to mark what is familiar to them. When we make any small change in the home, it may seem crazy to our cat. Felines like stability and need to have everything under control. For this reason, we recommend the Feliway Optimum Pheromone Diffuser, a new generation of feline pheromones that are more effective in improving the well being of our cats. The pheromones released by this diffuser send cats a message of tranquility in their environment that helps them to be happier and more comfortable with the whole family. In this way, cats feel more confident and it has been proven that they are more affectionate with their human companions. 3. Respect them and get to know them Cats have different personalities. Some are more sociable and others more solitary. For example, they hide when people come over or do not like to be picked up. That is why you should not force your feline to do something they do not want to do, especially when they are afraid. The more you force your cat, the less it will want to be by your side as it will start to associate you with negative stimuli. Respecting its space and privacy is essential to establishing a good bond with your cat. With time, patience and observation, you you will get to know its character and gain its trust which is one of the most important things to do to strengthen your bond. 4. Understand feline language Cats use a specific body language to communicate with each other and with humans. It is very important to know how to interpret this language as we still do not know how to speak like them. Communication is the basis for building mutual trust, making your cat happy and strengthening your bond. That is why we recommend the video on the card in which we explain all the details related to feline communication. 5. Provide it with good food and hygiene. Cats need to be well nourished to feel good. Scientific studies have shown that a good diet improves a cat's general condition. Therefore, although it is sometimes more expensive, we recommend offering them good food. What could be better than investing in your furry friend's health? We also recommend that you check the ingredients of the feed. It is also important to compare the composition of several to choose the one that best suits your feline's needs. On the other hand, remember to adjust the daily amount of food to the cat's specifications to avoid obesity problems. Regarding cleanliness, this plays a fundamental role in the life of every feline. Cats do not tolerate dirt on their fur or in their environment. That is why it is important that they live in an organized and clean home. In addition, you must clean their litter box daily. It is also important to brush them every day to remove dead hair and prevent hairballs from forming in their stomach. If you use positive reinforcement, brushing time can also be very pleasant and therefore can help strengthen your bond. Tell us which of these points you are going to put into practice. Until next time, experts.
