Happy Cat Month: Fun Ways to Enrich Your Cat’s Life

September isn’t just the start of fall and all things pumpkin spice—it’s also Happy Cat Month! While you’re pulling out sweaters and lighting your favorite candle, it’s the perfect time to spoil your feline friend with a little extra love and enrichment.

Cats may seem like they’ve got life all figured out, but they still need mental and physical stimulation to stay happy and healthy. The best part? It doesn’t take a big change to make a big difference in your kitty’s daily routine.

Try adding a window perch where they can watch birds, people, or even leaves drifting by. Bring in some new toys that mimic prey and watch your cat’s inner hunter come to life. You might even want to switch things up with food puzzles that keep their minds active while they snack.

Sometimes the simplest things are the most exciting. A crinkly paper bag, an empty cardboard box, or a fresh catnip toy can turn an ordinary day into a mini adventure. Let’s not forget how much cats love routines. Just a few minutes of brushing, playtime, or cuddles each day can strengthen your bond and make your cat feel extra special.
