- Take a day off to spend with your cat. Between work and chores, you might be missing out on quality time with your kitty lately. Take a day to recuperate and give your cat some extra attention.
- Make it a spa day. Go all out for your cat. Put on relaxing music and give them the best cat massage ever! Your cat will feel great, and their loving purrs with fill you with good feelings.
- Have a long petting session. Studies show that just a few minutes of petting your cat releases feel-good hormones into your system, including dopamine, prolactin, and oxytocin. These hormones won’t just make you and your cat feel relaxed; they’ll actually help improve your bond and feelings of friendship.
- Take a cat nap. Taking a nap with loved ones helps cats form bonds and show a high level of trust. Napping with your cat will also give you both some rest and help you wake up feeling refreshed.
- Play active games. Being active might not sound relaxing to you, but boredom can lead to anxious and destructive behavior. Cats who have proper mental and physical stimulation are less likely to show such behaviors because they have an outlet to relieve all that nervous energy.
- Have some couch potato time. Curl up with your cat in a comfy place, give them lots of pets, and snuggle up. You can catch up on your favorite shows while you and your cat relax.
