Cats and Vacation: How to Ensure Your Cat Is Well Cared For While You’re Away

Dear Scratching Cactus Family,

Vacation time is here, and while we’re looking forward to some relaxation, there’s an important question to answer: What should you do if your cat can’t join you? Felix and Luna are here to share tips on how to make sure your feline friend is well taken care of during your absence.

A Reliable Cat Sitter

Finding a trusted cat sitter is essential. They’ll ensure your cat has fresh water, food, and some much-needed affection and playtime. Felix always looks forward to familiar faces who visit and spend quality time with him while his family is away.

Keep Their Environment Familiar

Cats thrive on routine and feel safest in their familiar surroundings. Make sure their favorite spots and furniture remain unchanged to avoid stress. Luna loves having her territory just the way it is – it keeps her calm and secure.

Toys and Entertainment

Provide your cat with plenty of engaging activities. A scratching post, interactive toys, or a treat ball are great options. Luna also enjoys a cozy spot by the window to watch the world outside. These activities will keep your cat active and happy.

Extra Tip: Your Scent

Leaving a piece of clothing with your scent on it can give your cat a sense of comfort and closeness, even while you’re away.

Conclusion

With a reliable sitter, a familiar environment, and fun distractions, your cat will be well cared for while you’re on vacation. Felix and Luna show us that a little preparation goes a long way in keeping your cat happy and relaxed.

Best wishes,
Your Scratching Cactus Team 🌵
