7am - Woke human with a smack in the face. Hungry for food and love after a
purrfect night's sleep. After food and cuddles spent the rest of the morning exploring
the dangerous pot-plant corner.
Cats in the wild spend many hours a day hunting, foraging and capturing prey. So
as well as feeding her twice a day try hiding dry food and favourite treats around
the house for puss to find while you are out.
9:50 am - After kissing human goodbye spent half an hour stalking an orange
furry mouse that was lurking at the bottom of the stairs. I am Top Cat!
Just like us cats can become bored. Keep cats entertained, fit and active by providing
them with toys to play with.
11am - Gave myself a good wash. Couldn't quite manage that tricky bit under
my chin.
Try to brush and groom your cat as often as you can. It will help to prevent hairballs
forming in her stomach.
12:40 - Climbed to the very top of the shelves. Managed not to break the large,
orange china cat who is always there, and settled down for a nap.
Cats are natural climbers and they like high places where they can rest and observe.
Wardrobes and bookshelves are particular favourites. Just make sure it's easy for
them to get back down as it's always easier for puss to climb up than down.
15:00 - Greet human. After a hard morning it's time for kisses and cuddles;
and more food is always good.
Your cat is always there for you. There's nothing better than being greeted by your
feline friend eager to tell you all about her adventures.
16:00 - Sat in my favourite window seat for an afternoon of observation.
Cats love to watch the world go by, so try to make sure puss has access to at least
one windowsill. If the sill is not wide enough to accommodate her, place a piece
of furniture underneath at window height, for puss to sit on.
18:00 - Had a delicious evening meal, then lap time and cuddles while we watched
TV.
Cats need human contact, so try to give them at least one cuddle a day. It works
both ways. It's been proven stroking a cat lowers heart rates, blood pressure and
stress levels.
23:00 It's been a long day, and so to bed!
Whether you cat sleeps in a blanket-lined box or on a chair or bed make sure it
is situated away from draughts. Cats' don't like to sleep in a draught, and this
is particularly important with older cats, as they cannot withstand extremes of
temperature.
