Quick answers to common questions, plus deeper PetLivio guides when you want to learn more.
What does basic everyday cat care include?
Everyday cat care generally includes appropriate food and water, litter box care, play, enrichment, grooming, comfortable resting spaces and routine veterinary care. Individual needs can vary with age, health and lifestyle.
How much playtime does an indoor cat need?
Play needs vary from cat to cat. Many cats benefit from several short, interactive play sessions throughout the day along with opportunities to climb, scratch, explore and observe.
How often should cats eat?
Feeding schedules depend on age, health, food type and individual needs. A veterinarian can help determine an appropriate feeding routine when you are unsure what is right for your cat.
Why do cats scratch furniture?
Scratching is normal cat behavior used for stretching, marking and maintaining claws. Providing appropriate scratching surfaces in useful locations can help redirect the behavior.
How can I make my home more cat-friendly?
Give your cat options for resting, hiding, climbing, scratching, playing and observing the environment. Litter boxes, food and water should also be easy to access in comfortable locations.
When should I contact a veterinarian about my cat?
Contact a veterinarian when you notice concerning changes in appetite, litter box habits, behavior, movement, breathing or general wellbeing, especially when changes are sudden, severe or persistent.
