5 Laws Cats Live By

October 1, 2016
Have you ever wondered if cats live by their own rules? Our feline friends do have some very strong opinions about things! And, while every cat is different, they do share some adorable—and rather quirky—habits. Here, a Frisco, TX veterinarian suggests some of Fluffy’s Golden Rules.

Everything Is A Bed

If there’s one thing we know for certain about cats, it’s that they really like sleeping. Fluffy can spend up to 20 hours a day snoozing! Kitties love having some soft, comfy beds of their own to snuggle up in, but they’ll also get comfy on our couches, chairs, carpets, laps, books, and computers.

Be Helpful

Cats have a reputation of being aloof and even a bit haughty, but that isn’t entirely fair. Your furball will willingly lend a helping paw when you need to change your sheets, wrap a present, or pack a suitcase. Fluffy is also very helpful when it’s time to do laundry, and may thoughtfully keep your clothes warm—and properly furred—by curling up in your laundry basket for a nap.

Supervise Your Humans

Does your kitty ever follow you around? Fluffy may trail you like a furry little shadow as you move from one end of the house to the other, and may even follow you into the bathroom. In fact, many cats don’t like to let their people out of their sight!

Get Plenty Of Sun

Have you ever found your cat happily sleeping in a sunbeam? Fluffy can’t seem to refuse the opportunity to snooze in the sun. While we’re pretty sure our feline pals don’t actually run on solar power, we do know that they really enjoy sunbathing.

Show Your Love

Cats can be extremely affectionate. Although some of our feline buddies may prefer to sit next to their people, rather than on top of them, many kitties love being cuddled and snuggled. Your furball may show her love by curling up on your lap, sleeping on your head, or purring whenever you pet her or pick her up. Fluffy also has a way of sensing when we are down. Many cats provide extra cuddles and purrs when their humans are sick or feeling blue. This is just one of the reasons pets are so special and wonderful. Does your furry friend need veterinary care?
