Mini Zoo Life

Feeding

I feed my cats wet food twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. They also have dry food available throughout the day so they can snack when they are hungry. Fresh water is always available as well.

My cats especially love their wet food and are always quick to remind me when it is mealtime. In fact, they spend a lot of time trying to convince me that they deserve extra servings! Providing a combination of wet and dry food works well for my cats and helps meet their nutritional needs.

Grooming

Regular grooming is an important part of caring for my cats. My gray tabby is a short-haired cat, but he sheds constantly, so regular brushing helps remove loose fur and keeps shedding under control. My girl is long-haired, so she also needs brushing to prevent tangles and mats. Surprisingly, she does not need to be brushed as often as my boy because he sheds much more than she does.

Brushing helps keep their coats healthy, reduces loose fur around the house, and provides an opportunity to check for any skin or coat issues.

Exercise and Enrichment

Both of my cats enjoy playing with toys when they are in the mood. Providing toys and opportunities for play helps keep them active and mentally stimulated. They also enjoy exploring the house, watching out windows, and finding comfortable places to nap throughout the day.
