Is playing (outside) healthy for a cat?

Play is most definitely good for your cat and it is an essential component for a happy and healthy cat. Why is this so?

  • Playing reduces stress and pain
  • Saves boredom in your cat
  • Strengthen the bond between hoomans and their furry friends
  • Stay at a healthy weight
What daily food and exercise does a cat need?

Everything starts with good food for your furry friend. High quality food is important because that way you know exactly what your cat needs. However, it is important that your food matches your cat's behavior and life stage.

In addition to food, your cat needs to expend its energy and be physically and mentally stimulated. How can you make sure cats are stimulated? And what toys can cats play with?

  • Cat toys
  • Cat toys with catnip
  • Cat fitness with a laser light
  • Intelligence games and puzzles
  • Running outside

Cats can definitely get sunburned and should be rubbed in with SPF

Can cats get sunburned? How do you keep your cat cool?

Like us humans, cats are sensitive to Uv radiation. Certain body parts are exposed a lot and are therefore more vulnerable.

For cats, these are particularly the ears and bridge of the nose. There the fur is thinner and blocks less radiation.

Cats love to lie on their backs and warm their bellies in the sun. Since the belly coat is not as dense as the back coat, the belly can also burn quickly.

During hot temperatures, make sure your cat stays calm and always has a place in the shade to cool off. Consider a bath, sprinklers or a cardboard box in a cool place. Your furry friend can't resist this and so he is not in the draft. After all, cats don't like that.
