Respect your cat is….

  • treating him like a cat
  • taking good care of his health
  • meeting his specific needs
  • giving him good quality food
  • providing him a clean litter box (several in multicat houses), enough toys, and enough room to live
  • catifying your house
  • taking time to play with him
  • petting him every day
  • trying to think like a cat to make him happy

    I asked mom and she said: 1. treating us like cats (I disagree – she occasionally tries to dress us up); 2. playing with us everyday (again I must disagree – when I want to play fetch at midnight she refuses!); and 3. petting us everyday – I definitely agree – she actually loves on us too much!!!

      Well, it’s a little bit direct, but what is important is the result, right ? Purrs

    We like: treating him like a cat, meeting his specific needs and
    trying to think like a cat to make him happy.
    They are all good points though 🙂

    I like that the first item on your list is “treating him like a cat”. I don’t like it when people consistently treat their pets like little humans or playthings.. A little fun is fine, but animals are happiest when they are treated respectfully, as animals.
    All the other items on your list are excellent too.

    I asked Calico Lucy what I could do to respect her and on her list were:
    1. Feed me exactly at 5 pm… none of this 5:05 or 5:10 nonsense
    2. Let me knead your bare skin as often and as vigorously as I choose and
    3. Don’t get all het up when I am on top of the gecko tank, or by your china tea kettle typewriter — if you don’t want it broken, don’t make it accessible!
    I loved your list!
