Daily Routines

Posted on November 21, 2024

I’m feline good today!
We all need daily routines to help in many ways.
They help reduce stress, they help us plan our time more effectively and they help us focus and know what to expect throughout the day.
Cats need routines too. Cats need consistency and stability. Regular feeding times and play times are important. This helps them feel secure because they know when to expect food and attention from their owners.
A daily routine should include regular morning and evening play sessions before eating, (fifteen minutes each), scheduled meals (each morning and evening) and some down time to relax.
Make it a point to clean their litterboxes after am and pm meals.
That’s not to say you can’t change things up a bit as variety is important.
Things like having different play toys and extra attention are positives to avoid boredom.
Cats do adjust to your routine as well. Does your cat meet you at the door when you come home? Did you find yourself explaining the recent time change and why their breakfast was later than normal?
A routine will help reinforce good behaviors and give your cat something to look forward to.
