Christmas is the right time to pamper your cat. As for the dog, even for your furry friend we have thought of some small Christmas gifts for him to find under the tree together with those of the whole family.
The game circuit
Our cat friends really enjoy playing and have fun with anything that catches their attention. The game circuit can therefore be another nice idea for a Christmas gift. Suitable for all types of cats, usually it is a circuit with a shiny ball spinning around, a bit like the marble circuit could be for us! The game is structured as a chase that stimulates the animal to move, to train its intelligence and to “dust off” its predatory instinct. Boredom will practically disappear!
Another important aspect is that it is non-slip, therefore absolutely not dangerous.
Catnip
Some cats are crazy about catnip . What is it about? Among the substances found in catnip are vitamins A, B, C, many minerals important for the well-being of the cat and some essential oils. One of the active ingredients found in the stems and leaves of this herb is Nepatalactone . After having smelled it, many cats are as if sedated for about a quarter of an hour; some even start jumping, running and playing around the house! Definitely a different gift, but one that is not addictive. Indeed, it is thought that it functions as a sensory stimulus, which helps the animal to have fun without running health risks. It can be purchased already prepared in dried leaves or in pots or it can be grown in the garden and on the terrace.
The scratching post
As we know, our feline friends need to take care of their nails and the scratching post is an excellent solution to avoid finding the rooms of the house all ruined. In addition to this, it is also a way to have fun, climb, let off steam or – why not – even a corner of relaxation. On the market there are many shapes and colors: there are the imaginative ones with several floors, the slides, those made with animal silhouettes. If you want, to make the Christmas gift even more special, you can also think of trying to make one by hand, perhaps with sturdy cardboard or old fabric.
Good food
In addition to the fun, let’s not forget health and nutrition for our kitten friends this Christmas. The latter should be composed mainly of nutritious and high biological value moist foods . By eating meat and fish – foods in which essential amino acids are present – he will meet his nutritional needs. You can dare and choose different, more appetizing, particular and delicate flavors . So even on Christmas day the cat will have his nice lunch!
Give what they like best
It might sound trivial, but as it happens to us, cats will also know how to appreciate what they like most and that suits their character. For the daring act it might be right to give him a game circuit to train his instincts, the laziest kitten will just need a nice warm blanket where he can rest; the greedy cat will be happy to find a new taste of tin under the tree, while the playful cat will have fun with a new scratching post to climb on.
There is no unique and valid gift for every animal, it is up to us to know the personality of our cat and think of a nice gift accordingly. Everything will be fine, as long as it is original and above all done with the heart. Happy Christmas!
