It’s that time again: your paycheck has arrived, complete with a well-deserved bonus. Whether you're ready to pack your bags or prefer to save your holiday allowance for later, one housemate will be staying home no matter what. That’s right: your cat. And let’s be honest, they deserve a summer full of attention, comfort, and fun too. Discover our tips and summer essentials to make sure your cat enjoys the season just as much as you do.

Did you know... cats are more sensitive to changes than you might think?

When you're getting ready to go on holiday, your cat often picks up on it before you even leave — packing suitcases, changes in routine, and a different vibe in the house. Some cats respond by withdrawing, eating less, or even becoming litter shy. By adjusting their environment in advance and giving them some extra attention or fun stimulation, you can help them cope better with your absence.

Holiday pay is of course meant for your vacation, but also for making investments. And what's a better investment than your cat’s happiness while you’re away?

Small treats, big joy

You really don’t need to spend a fortune to make your cat happy. A little extra is all it takes to give them a great day. A new toy, a tasty treat, or an interactive play wand not only keeps them entertained but also creates some cosy moments together. Whether you're at home or your cat will have to keep themselves busy for a while, a small surprise can brighten their day.

Spend your holiday pay wisely

Maybe this is the perfect moment to finally invest in that stylish litter box that’s been on your wish list for a while. Or perhaps you’ll go for a cat furniture piece that also looks great in your interior. Whatever it may be, when you're away for a bit, your cat will at least be well taken care of and feel more at ease. And don’t forget: a cat that feels safe and comfortable in its environment is more relaxed, healthier, and happier — and you’ll definitely notice that in their behaviour.

Extra tip:

Did you know that mental stimulation — like hiding treats or using puzzle toys — helps reduce stress in cats? It keeps their minds active and gives them something to do while you're away.

Because your cat deserves a little holiday happiness too.

So whether you’re heading off to enjoy the sun or staying cosy at home, don’t forget who’s always there for you, keeps you company, and secretly thinks you’re the best person in the world: your cat.
